named town of Tombstone, Ari-
iona, which appellation was
adopted from the famous mine,
which made the discoyerer, Ed

licnaire, has a varied version
among the several writer's.
According to Judge c. b. Wat

to a detachment of United States
cavalry, which was seeking an un'
known route into the Indian coun
try and beyond the new find,
