SLAIN AND BODY HID
TRAGEDY OF FORTY YEARS AGO
 TO BE LAID BARE.
Colorado Man Will Tell Where Corpse of Rich Miner Is Buried If He 10 Pald-onIy One Surviving
 Heir.

Denver.-For forty years the family of Edward Moritz Eisenbeiser has been trying to find him or his grave. Whether he wandered away from home or was killed by persons who succeeded in robbing him of his en- tire estate is a matter which has never been determined, though the latter theory is the one which is gtY- en the most credence by his relatives.
 According to Paul Heyden, husband of Eisenbeiser's niece and only sur viving heir, who lives in Alamosa, evidence points to two persons whom he believes murdered his uncle. One of them Is dead, and the other is now living in Colorado Heyden is in Denver to consult with attorneys.
 Eisenbeiser was a very wealthy miner. He came to Colorado and set tied at Summitville in 1868. Andrew Ruder accompanied him and became his partner in mining ventures.
 Eisenbeiser was last seen in com pany with Ruder. A few days later, when Eisenbeiser did not return to his home, his family became sus- picious and notified the sheriff. A posse was sent after Ruder, who es- caped through a rear window of his brothers house. The sheriff is said to have traced him to Chicago, and later to Joliet, where Ruder deposit ed about s4,O00 in a bank to Eisen- beiser's credit. No word was had from Ruder until the time of his death. when 1t was learned that he had been living in Chicago with one of his brothers.
 Ten years after Eisenbeiser's dis appearance the mine which Ruder and Eisenbeiser jointly owned at Summit vile was sold to Thomas Bowen by Ruder and another for $3,OOO. The mine has since been sold for $250,O00 and 1t is that property which the Hey dens are trying to recover-either for Eisenbeiser, if he be alive, or for themselves if he Is dead.
 Henry Born has told the sherin at Pagosa Springs, according to a letter which has just been received from the sheriff by Heyden, that he knows where Eisenbeiser is buried, and that 1t Is not much more than 100 miles from Alamosa- He has offered to take Heyden or the sheriff to the grave if they will pay him.
 Heyden Is insistent that Eisenbeiser was murdered, and he intends to file complaint as soon as he can get evil dence.
 q am going to get at the bottom of this affair" said Heyden. If Eisen- beiser was murdered-and I am cer- tain he was-I am going to see that the guilty man Is punished. I can do it, for I've got enough money of my own to go the limit of the law. There are people here in Denver implicated In the affair who would almost faint If they knew how much I know about 1t. I have worked hard to collect evil dence and now something is going to happen to somebody. don't mind saying that think 1t was Ruder and another man who killed my uncle. The way in which his property, both real and personal, was handled by them is sufficient evidence in itself, to my mind, to prove that Eisenbeiser was murdered"
 Eisenbeiser was a soldier in the war with Mexico. He was given land in Colorado by the government in recog- nition of his services Part of his land Is now known as Capitol Hill in Denver.
