Taylor apparently had been dead
for three days although the body
was in a good state of preservation.
The discovery was made by James
Haslem, who, with w. G. Keeler,
trailed the man down the river and
back into a thick growth of arrow
weed where he had died of exposure
and hunger.

had occasion to associate with him
during the three years that he has
lived on his homestead in section

temporary fits of insanity previous
to this time.
He worked on Carrigan's ditch
crew for a couple of days until Sat
urday two weeks ago. After attract
ing the attention of the workmen by
his peculiar actions, he left the work
to go to his homestead. James Has
lem met him riding upon his burro
below Neighbours, soon after dinner.
Just before dusk he was seen pass
ing the McLaren homestead.
The next afternoon the burro was
found tied to tree near the river
by Ben White White thought moth

day when he was told of the mans
peculiar actions. 1t was decided to
make a search for the missing set
