and guns. They found bones and
pieces of coffins scattered over the
graveyard. They dug Into several

The work was pursued with ?vlgor

There the men lost their nerve and

A week after his arrival here the
cedar cheat had not put li its appearance
and the matter was reported to
the Washington postal authorities
with a request to trace. After several
days had failed to produce the much
needed box the Colorado n.ember, desperate
at not being able to handle
much of his corrrspondenc \ wired the
postmaster at the rural tostofflce to
which his box had been delivered.
The next day brought i o response
from the rural postmaster, nor the
next nor the next; but on the fourth
day by this time frantic statesman
found the following letter 'n his morning
mail:
"Dear Judge: I didn't see no use
In making you pay for a telegram
about that box., for I ?nought you
must have taken all the clothes you
needed right away in your trunk. The
man brought the box here all right,
but It was u week before I could hail
anybody with a wagon going to the
station. I finally got it there, as you
will see by the Inclosed waybill, and I
hope it gets through all right."
