 that Archambeau was thrown with

One shoe of the horse was lying less than six feet away on the ground When the animal was en- deavoring to get a foothold on the boulder it is also apparent the saddle was turning. and this supposition is borne out by the silent fact that Archambeau, even in death, had clinging to the fingers of his left hand considerable of the mane, as he was endeavoring to hold on to prevent fall. It is supposed he was then bucked off, and thrown forward, his head alighting on the sharp crest of the big boulder that was flat on top, and dipping slightly on an incline to-

Sebastian on a charge of contributing to the dependency of Edith Serkin, Mrs. Pratt's l7-year-old half-sister, brought to an end the searching cross-eXamin' ation of Miss Serkin, whom Earl Rogers, Sebastian's chief counsel characterized as a wounded bird, whom it would be cruel to keep under fire any longer The girl had just previously broken down and com pelled the court to order brief re- cess.

 The day of the tragedy will never be known, but the fact of death, how ever, was proven by the grewsomc reality of his corpse being found on Sunday morning, at about 9 o'clock
 The scene of deaths chamber was awful. and the stiffness of the ghastly defle hundreds of feet below the rim rock only added to the morbid gloom of a situation that is without a paral- Tel in the Southwest. Those range men familiar with that region stated it is the most unforbidding land in the country, fit only for wild beasts, and seldom frequented in gathering cattle" There is not a habitation within ten miles, and only a faint trail to guide one in or out. The stiffness is never broken except by the ripple of waters that come from miles above or a marauding lion at tacking its prey. Lying on an inn mensc boulder the remains of this well known resident of Prescott were to be seen. Nasty examinations were made to ascertain what caused his death, but this action was not deemed other than to trace the as due to an accident which was conclusively established.
 Theory of Death.
 When the discovery was made by Bud Stephens on Sunday morning he stated that the body was lying face downward in a pool of water about six or eight inches in depth. ''I did not wait a second after asce-taining that life was extinct, but gave gen eral alarm. Others of the party came up, including my father, and he out of humanity's sake, lifted the lifeless form onto the big boulder, without any personal effects. The face of Mir. Archambeau was partly covered over by the water, and his features were as placid then as later. A hurried examination showed that there were several small wounds on the head near the right temple, and from the larger one blood was yet oozing and dripping into the water below. An investigation of the sur roundings unquestionably proved the manner of death as due to circum- stances which are to be regretted. had reached that point al night, on his horse, and coming up

 It was at first believed the wound near the right temple was fatal. but this version was dispelled since the body has been brought to this city, and professional observation proves to the contrary. But whether death occurred on Friday O. Saturday night i5 speculative. Saturday night is generally given as the time, for when the body was viewed by J. H. Steph- ems, he stated blood was flowing from the larger wound in the head, and that was on Sunday morning a short time after his son made the discovery.
 Horse Stampeded.
 The riding horse of Archambeau in its freedom ran to the opposite side of the canyon, where the stock of the rife was picked up broken in two at the butt, but with the metallic plate still intact. The barrel was found down the stream fully 200 feet away from the stock and nearby was the saddle blanket lying on the ground, thus indicating that the animal start ed to buck and in its efforts to free itself of the rifle had violently kicked the stock from the barrel. When found, the horse still had the saddle on. but it was hanging loosely under meath.
 Dog Faithful to Its Master.
 Bud Stephens. who made the dis l covery of the dead body, attributes 1t to first seeing the fox hound of Arch ambeau within 50 feet of its dead master. He then realized the search ] was nearing the end. The faithful animal retreated in the direction of where the body was lying, and in gaining an elevated view from the saddle Stephens beheld the motion ess form of the man wanted, and ap- preached the spot.
