Discovery Eight Miles
From Town.


found yesterday by a Mexican wood
hauler who reported the find to the
authorities. The body was found about
eight miles east of Las Cruces. II
was lying at the edge of small ar
royo. It could not be determined
whether the body had never been buried
or whether it had been buried in a
shallow grave and the rains of last
summer had diSinterred 1t. The man
had been dead about year and a half
and little but the bones remained. He
wore a checked shirt of course mater
ial a pair OF trousers and a pair OF
Shoes but did not have on any socks
He was a man of medium statue
A cOrOner's jury went out to the
place where the body was found c. M
Pool brought in the remains and pre-
pared them for burial in the pOtter'S
field. No clue TO the 1denty of the man
could be found. Various rumors were
circulated about town. There is no
means Of determining that he met
death by foul play He may have tried
to come from the mountains to Las
Cruces and sickness Overtaken him, or
he may have died from thirst in en-
deavoring to make the trip, as there is
no place between Las Cruces and the
moutains where water can be secured
and the distance varies from u to 10
miles.
