Creenfell, of Taplow Court, Hacks, Into member for Salisbury, who wu? a companion of Mr. Lfcigli, gave u succinct account of the sad event. He said : "We left England in the (ttnuunic August 7, ahd travelled by way of Chicago, St. Paul, and the Northern Pacific to Custer, from there making our way to the I'ighorn Mountains. We reached New York on the 15th, and 1 proceeded to Niagara. We joined again at Chicago. There were five in tlx* party. M r. Leigh, Myself, two hunters named Uob Stewart and "Ted," and another man as cook. I had not been in this country before, but it was nothing new to Leigh. He had been hero half a dozen times and knew almost every r .A . ? at. ? ] ... ll. . .1* A-.* a IOOI ?ii Hi'1 ground MI iiu* district wc went to. It was on Sunday, September 14, that Leigh was lost and we round llu? body on the 21st. We had a camp at the bottom of the canyon, and he saddled his horse and left about two o'clock in the afternoon. We waited till very late in the evening but he did not come in, nor did he reach camp xll night, so we became certain that somethirg serious had happened. We did not expect him in early, as ho had gone out late, and had he killed anything it would haw taken him a considerable time to return to camp." "What steps did you take ? " ask?'d the ,vl"" ?v" "The hunter wont down to the forks of the canyon and hunted ahout carefully. lie fired Be vera 1 shots and shouted, but there was no reRponse. We became furlhor alarmed, and began u. search which proved to We a very long one. We found his horse ahout two miles up the canyon with his coat tied on iu buck, Uoh Stewart was unable lo Itnd anything further, and came back to me saying : "1 guess we have another lost man We nil continued the search tor a week, going from ledge lo ledge ami I'.xaming every cave and every bear hole, it was very hard work lor the men, but not so much for a member of the Alpine Club, who had been three limes up the Mafterhorn. Finding nothing, on Saturday 1 wrote a letter to Mr. Morton Fowler, who manages a ranche for the Powder lliver Cattle Com puny, and who knew Leigh well, having been out hunting with him several times. I intended lo send Bob Stcwait oft' with the letter early on Sunday morning, and after doing so we nim i.cm uiui v?:** Wli 111V 8*VIU"CIJ?
