nel in  which  it  was  confined.  The  crookedness 
of  the  river  makes  its  total  length  about  800 
miles.  The  men  hunted  and  trapped  on  the  way 
but  met  only  with  very  moderate  success.  They 
claim  to  be  the  first  who  ever  made  the  trip  in 
a boat  the  whole  length  of  the  river.

Thos.  J.  Clark  and  Arthur  Goodell  brought 
in  160  head  of  steers  Tuesday,  which  were  de- 
livered to  Nathan  Hall,  and  by  him  shipped 
east  yesterday.  Isaac  Siggins  is  on  the  road  in 
with  220  head,  sold  to  the  same  party.  The 
Clark  and  Goodell  cattle  sold  for  $17,  and  the 
Siggins  cattle  for  $20.50.

MURRAY  DISAPPEARS

On  Tuesday  little  Freddy  Murray,  who  is 
being  held  at  the  county  jail  as  a witness  against 
his  father  for  the  murder  of  his  two  brothers, 
mysteriously  disappeared  and  up  to  the  present 
cannot  be  found.  The  boy  has  been  allowed  to 
run  around  town  and  once  before  remained  out 
over  night,  but  this  time  it  looks  as  though

someone  interested  had  him  spirited  away  to 
some  considerable  distance,  as  all  the  adjacent 
camps  have  been  searched  and  telegrams  sent 
to  other  points  in  the  territory  but  so  far  with- 
out finding  any  trace  of  him.

Bids  for  the  Fort  Bayard  beef  contract

$4.74,  Jake  Brusch,  $4.75,  George  D.  Jones 
$6.25,  John  Brockman,  $10.50  for  corn  fed.
