BODY OF DELiBAR
s,ss FOUND IN DITCH
BODY DISCOVERED BY SON AND
PARTY IN BEssEMER lRRieA-
TloN DITCH AFTER SEVERAL
DAYS SEARCH.

Pueblo, Aug. 5.-Half buried in the
sands of the Bessemer ditch, the
body of Joseph Delabar, 81, Canon
City pioneer, who disappeared from
the home OF. relatives at 321 Jackson
street last Friday morning, was
found by a Fowler searching party
headed by his own son, 90 miles
east of Pueblo at O'Clock Wednes-
day morning.
The condition of the corpse indi-
Gated that it had been in the water
probably since shortly after he had
left his home. He is supposed to
have committed suicide while tempo
rarily deranged or to have wandered
into the water.
The body was clothed in the same
manner as when Delabar was last
seen alive. He had on a brown suit,
with a pink night shirt beneath the
outer clothing. There is no doubt
as to the Identification, according to
members of the searching party who
returned to Pueblo Immediately af-
ter the finding Of the body.
Mr.. Delabar, who at one time had
been extremely wealthy, was a ma
tive of Quincy, ILL.,. where he, was, en-.
gagged in stock-raising. He followed
the same line in Canon City during
his younger days, but of recent years
had retired from active participation
in business.
His son, Charles Delabar at one
time operated a meat shop and mar
ket in this city. but several years ago
moved to Fowler. where he engaged
in the same business.
Mr.. Delabar wandered away from
the home of relatives Friday morning.
Tuesday morning party headed by
his son and Marshal Dunn of Fowler,
came to Pueblo to institute syste-
matte search. :.
At their request the water in the
Bessemer ditch was turned OF and a
careful patrol of the ditch resulted
in the finding Of the body. 1t was

MYSTERY OF WRECKED
AUTOMOBILE IS SOLVED

The mystery concerning the own.
ership Of the wrecked Everett car
which was found overturned a half
mile on the other side of the Four
Mile road, has been solved. The car
is the property Of A. R. Moser of Vic.
tor, a wreck having occurred about
8 O'Clock Sunday night. Moser was
attempting to climb the hill ON high
gear when the brakes broke. The
car descended down the incline and
coming IN. contact with a Ford trave
cling behind showed over the em.
bankment.
In the machine were Mr.. and Mrs
Moser and their baby and a i4-year.
old boy. All escaped without injury,
and were taken to Victor by Peter
Hanson, an employe of the Clark gar.
age at Goldfield, who happened to be
travelling a short distance behind in
Ford.
Moser has not yet lifted his car to
the roadside, but will take the same
to Cripple Creek either today or to-
