UNKNOWN HUNTER Dev0URt0
Bare Bones Of Man Found Caught
in Bear Trap in Mountains
Of New Mexico

y
date of November 9th says;
The story Of how an unidenti-
fled trapper was caught in his
own trap, in the wilds Of Socorro
county, and became the prey of
wild animals for which the trap
was ~, is brought here by
Charley Mccarthy, ranchman
of that county. who was sum-
monedbefore the United States
grand jury which made an in
vestlgstion of the mans death.
The story indicates that no
evidence Of foul play was dis
covered and that the man actual
ly met death, with his hands
| fastened in a huge steel trap
from which there was no possible
extric4ion without the aid of
another human being.
The trapper had driven in his
wagon to which was hitched
team OF little mules. many miles
into the heart Of what is said to
be tie widest region of New
Mexico. IL is evident that he
was after bear, for his steel trap
was one Of the largest ever seen
in th3 part of the state. His
body was found about a week
after he died, with both hands
caught between the steel rims at
the wrists.
1T is believed that the trapper
had finished setting the trap and
batting II and was in the act of
leaving il when, by a misstep,
he stumbled into the mechan.
icism. In falling his hands were
caught. There was no means of
extrication. He was fifty miles
from. civilization and in a region
seldom entered by men.
Animals came. attracted by
the bait in the trap. They
attacked him and there were
little more than fragments of It
when his body was found. "
II was reported in Lubbock
that the trapper above mentioned
was B. F. Daugherty. formerly
Of this city.
The Avalanche has made all
the inquiry possible but has been
unable to ga'h any further IN
formation other than that Mr..
Phipps. his partner in business
here recc yed a letter written by
Nh. Naug' ~'ty on the 18th OF
October. from Bovina. Texas, in
which he ~ that he was then
enroute TO Paladuro Canyon,
where he expected to hunt and
trap the coming winter. He said
his son. Freddie. was with him
and that tl.ey were travelling in
the same outfit that he left Lub-
book in. namely a small spring
wagon with two burros attached,
one brown and one white. He
stated that he was out of money
and about out of chuck. and
asked Mr.. Phipps to send $40 to
Tulia. that he would be there on
the 18th. and would get il. Mr..
Phipps sent this amount. mailed
il on the 18th and in an envelope
with hio return printed on II.
The letter has never been re-
turned. Mr.. Daugherty went
from here to a point in Colorado.
where he worked for a time in a
blacksmithing establishment,
but was making his way back to
the north plains country when
last heard from.
1t is our opinion that this un-
fortunate man is not our b. F.
Daugherty. and we sincerely
hope il is not.

paid his share to Sweeney, who told
