 horse, is the supposition of these rangemen. One of the dogs of the Stephens rodeo camp followed the Archambeau fox hound away on Thursday, and returned on Friday. This gave cue of something hap pening, and which was grasped in stantly as foreboding evil. Stephens also stated that had it not been for the dog being so near by and patrol ling the scene of death, it is probable that locality would not have been in vestigated, and Archambeau's fate would still have been unsoved. Where he was killed is on the north side of the canyon and sheltered be- tween massive bouldcrs and the pre- cipitous walls. The trail outlet lies to the south several hundred feet away The body where it laid could not be seen except by getting to with in few feet of that particular spot.
 Gloom of Death.
 The announcement Of Archambeau' s fatal ending spread throughout the western part of the county and to this city by telephone. The news was first brought to Skull valley by Bud Stephens on horseback, who rode 12 miles of rough country in less than two hours. Judge McI,ane one-half hour later was in an auto hurrying to the scene, with Sheriff Young, Deputy Sheriff Dial, County Assessor Gentry and his assistant, F. w. Stephens. Autos reached the DI. ranch at } o'clock D. m. and were used to the rim of the canyon. This gorge on an inclined depth of. over two miles was negotiated on foot and by horse men. The body was strapped to a mule by Lester Rufner and brought up the steep trail. when the return trip was made in wagons to the ranch. The auto then brought the remains to this city, arriving yesterday morn ;ng before 1:30 o'clock.
 Hateful Day.
 In making the auto trip out of this city to Skull valley "a team at the saddle of Copper. Easing stampcdcd and showed the car of Lester Rufner from the grade, and serious acci- dent was only averted by good luck. One wheel of the auto remained on the road otherwise the car would | have been thrown down into a gulch fully 800 feet deep. On returning from Smiths canyon after dark, the riding horse of J. H. Stephens broke 1 away, and ran into cedar timbers. The rider was thrown to the ground and quite seriously injured on the head and body. The horse of Deputy Sheriff Dial lost its footing in q gopher hole. falling and carrying the rider underneath. The animal was pulled off his body but not before his foot was badly injured.
 Stephens Premonition.
 When seen at his D-I cattle ranch on Sunday afternoon, after the re mains had been found in Smiths can yon and identified, Joe H. Stephens whose range guest M-. Archambcau was, made the following statement tc l friends:
 When Archambeau did not return to the camp in Scott's Basin on Fri day afternoon, 1 had premonitior of something serious ovcrtaking him. A. consultation was held with Bud Stephens. Thomas, Edward and Cliff ford Koontz, Orvillc Bozarth and others. when 1 deemed 1t advisable to discontinue the roundup and exert a diligent search in the canyons that came into Scott's Basin, of which there are many. One of the cowboys was sent toward Camp Wood tc ascertain if Archambcau had showed up in that region We scattered in different directions and secured the rugged delilcs but without cutting any tracks, of man, horse or his dog ! Lion tracks. however. were plentiful Owing to the roughness of the coun- try. slow progress was made and a; night we returned to camp. Rain was falling on Friday afternoon, and any tracks would have been oblitcr- atcd Saturday the creek was again examined, when l returned to the D-I ranch. and started for William son valley, to give a general alarm and ask for assistance. One resident of that locality said: Don't be wor- ried about Archambcau; he knows the country, and will be able to take care of himself However. a party made ready in that section to go to Camp Wood on the hunt then returned 10 the D-I ranch, and later went to Scotts Basin at the rodco camp. was then fully convinced that Arch ambcau. ii not dead. was the victim ,,,--;f,1,- ,- Q. .o,l:-, ,,.;tI, Q, ,,.o,,,I ,,,I
