CHASTITY FIND
NAL)E:: BY OIL
PR()SPE(;IORS
IN FOOTHILLS
Body Of an Unknown Man,
Dead for Nearly a Week.
Is Discovered in Bed of
a Dry Lake.

With the finding of thej body of an
unidentified man in the Iry bed OF
a lake at the foot of Superstition
mountain late yesterday, new crime
mystery may be entered on this coun-
tvs criminal record.
The body-that of a well dressed
man between the ages of As and 90
was the ghastly find of party of
Los Angeles oil men who were pros
pecting in the region. On the report
of these men-C. G. Runnei, A. B..
Cochran and Professor Linderman-
deputies from the sheriff's office went
to the scene to claim the body and
obtain all clues possible toward solv-
ing the mystery of the mans death.
The oil men, who made but a cur
sorry examination before notifying the
authorities, found that the dead mans
throat had apparently been cut.
Alongside of the body they picked
up a razor, which might have been
the implement of death, but it was
closed and was not marred with
blood. This circumstance forces the
conclusion that the man was not a
suicide, but that he met his death by
foul means.
1t is possible, however, that he may
have succumbed to thirst after having
run out of water in the middle Of
the desert. His suffering and de-
lirium may have caused him to clutch
wildly at his throat and to have bad
ly lacerated the skin. This might
explain what the finders believe to be
a cash in the neck.
They describe the dead man as be-
ing well dressed, about 45 or 80 years
old, and having slightly grey stubby
beard. When found the body was ly-
ing on roll of blankets, with an
empty water bottle by its side.
The scene of the find was the bed
of an old dry lake at the foot of
Superstition mountain. 1t was appar-
ent from the condition of the body
and from the fact that all tracks to
and from the place had been obliter-
ated, that the man died or was killed
before the rains of the latter part of
last week.
A complete investigation will be
made by the sheriff's office and if the
circumstances point definitely enough
toward murder an effort will be made
to apprehhend the guilty party.

MEXICAN NEAR
DEATH RESULT
OF SHOOTING

Charged with assault with dead
ly weapon, Jesus Sanchez is a pris-
oner in the city Jail at Brawley while
his alleged victim, Eulalio Luna, is
in hospital lowering near death s
door from bullet wounds. A bullet
from large-calibre old-style six
shooter penetrated Luna's lungs and
lodged in his spine.
The prisoner will not be arraigned
for a few days, pending the outcome
of Luna's fight for life. If the man
dies, which the attending physicians
believe to be probable, the assailant
will be placed under a formal charge
of murder
The shootinp took place in front of
the home of Francisco Diaz, father
in-law of Sanchez. = 1t is thought that
jealousy of his wife caused the alter
cation Sanchhez surrendered him
self.
Sanchez told the officers that LU-
ma leveled rifle at him and threat
ened to shoot, and that he shot in
self-defense. The wounded man de-
clares his gun was empty and that
he threw it on the ground to dem
cnstrate this fact to his assailant
The gun was located by the officers
and found to be empty

MERCHANTS
AID ASKED IN
Of
0ST0FF|CE
Suggests Plans to Maintain
The Efficiency of the Of
flee Despite a Depleted
Force.

The Ell Centre postoffice is facing
a serious situation which endangers
it's efficiency unless the general pub
lie, especially the downtown mer-
hants, cooperate to overcome the con-
dition.
Due to the failure of Congress to
pass the postal deficiency bill,
through the forcing of an adjourn
ment, the local office must reduce
it's force.
One general utility clerk is to be
dispensed with, under instructions re-
ceived by Postmaster c. w. Collins
this in pite of the fact that, with
increasing business, an addition TO
rather than subtraction from the
force of clerks has been regarded as
necessary.
Postmaster Collins believes the sit
uation can be met by the merchants
in the downtown district agreeing to
the delivery of their mail by carriers
and by surrendering their postoffice
boxes. If this move meets with sup
port, two deliveries will be made by
carrier daily-one at o'clock in the
morning of mail coming in during
the night, and the second at 9:30 a
M, of mail that has arrived on the
morning trains.
'In this wav the merchant will be
getting his mail as early as he does
at present bv the utilization of his
box, and he will be helping the of
flee by relieving the congestion and
lessening the work for the clerks,
said the postmaster.

Services of the carriers, who, although
they work hard while they are work
ing, do not really work full time,
while the clerks frequently are COM
PEELED to work overtime.

as we already a waiting list from

HALF CENTURY
SEARCH FOR A
GRAVE is ENDED
(By Associated Press)

Glenrock, Wyo.. March 2s.-A So
year search for the grave of A. H.
Unthank, who was member of a
party of California gold seekers, end
ed here recently when Mr.. and Mrs.
J. A. Unthank of Walthill, Neb., Wis

ments.
A. H. Unthank left his home in
the East late in the year 1S49 to &c
to California, which was crowded with
gold seekers. AS the caravan neared
what is now Glenrock, he sickened
and died. The other members of the
party buried him and erected the
headstone which now marks his
grave. Reaching California, one OF
the party notified his relatives of his
death, but was unable TO give them
the exact location of the grave.
J. A. Unthank, nephew, young
man at the time of his uncle's death
has ever since endeavored to locate
the grave of his relative without sue
cess until his recent visit here. He
will fence the plot and erect mon
ument in memory of his uncle.

Weaverville, Cal, March 2S.-Coy-

can be made to appear like that of

tIibuted by E. V. Jotter, supervisor
of the Trinity National Forest, an
increase in the activities Of trappers

"These were taken by NJ. J. Nc

Ihe representative OF the fur COM
pany said these furs were excellent
and declared the reason for high
prices now being paid by fur com
panies for raw coyote pelts is that,
through a recent discovery, it is pos
sible to dye coyote pelts back in such
fashion as to make it difficult to dis
tinguish them from the real black
fox furs."
During the winter season now
passing there were seventy licensed
trappers in the Trinity Forest Re
