THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION, SEPTEMBER 20 1881.
DIED IN THE DESERT.
THE REMAINS OF A MISSING MAN
FOUND NEAR PANAMINT.
Sad Fate of Captain H. W. Olllespie, an Old Pros
pector, and a Former Cltiten of Georgia???
Starred to Death and Eaten By Coyotes
???A Traced? of the Desert,
Sun Francisco Examiner.
On the ftth of August an item appeared in
the Examiner concerning the disappearance
of Captain If. \V. Gillespie, a well known
mining prospector, who left this city on the
2nd of July la??t for Inyo county, to locate
mines for Frank Parks A Brother of this city.
It was stated at the time that a letter from
Wells A Fargo's agents at Darwin, expressed the
opinion that Mr. Gillespie, who had left that
place on the 25th for Slate Range, about
twenty-live miles distant, had probably lost
his way in the mountains, and that a party
had been organized and had left that place to
search for the missing man. A letter re
ceived here yesterday from the express
agent, dated at Darwin, August *15tb,
gives the result of the search and the find
ing of the body of the missing man, as fol
lows: ???The party was composed of Frank
Fitzgerald, John Palvo, T. Wibbett and two
Indians. After five days search for Captain
Gillespie his trail was found going in the di
rection of the mouth of Panamint canyon.
We followed the trail until it led into the salt
marsh. Here the parties divided. Palvo
and Wibbett leading the animals around
the marsh. Fitzgerald and Indian
Tom followed the trail on foot
across the marsh and to firm ground be
yond until it reached the main road, leading
up to Panamint canyon. Here the trail was
h??sf, hut we found it again about two hundred
yards further on, at the first mesquit tree,
where lie had stopped and eaten mesquit
1 >eans. From this jaunt all tracks were lost
for that day (August 13th), and ourselves and
animals, being out of provisions, feed, etc.,
we were compelled to go to Panamint for sup
plies. We renewed the search the next
morning, assisted by Indians Tom and Jim,
and at 8:20 a. m. the hotly was found
nliout a mile southwest of Hot Springs, Pana-
1'iint valley, Inyocounty. The hotly was nearly
nude of clothing from the waist ifp. His face
was eaten up by coyotes; also the right arm
close to the shoulder. We dug a grave ns close
to the body as possible, and there turned it in
with pick and shovel; but previous to doing
so, we wrapped the body in a blanket. Before
interring the hotly we cut the pantaloons
pockets of the deceased and found a purse
containing coin ($80 in gold), a pistol, pair of
eyeglasses, pair of goggles ami a jiocket-knife;
also the remnants of a jiockct-lionk and scraps
of paper that had been eaten bv the coyotes,
all of which have been delivered to J. F.???Fiel
der, agent of the express company at Darwin.
By the appearance of the body it must have
lain there for at least ten day???s. We btnied
t lie body at I! p. m., August 14th. On account
of the decomposed state of the corpse it was
an utter ini]Hissihility to move it tonny point
of interment, as the nearest cemetery is about
eleven miles distant.???
Captain Gillespie was <>2 years of age at the
time of his death, and was weH and favorably
known in California andXcvada for his sterling
qualities of mind and heart. He was a mem
ber of the Masonic fraternity, having reached
the high position of knight commander. He
was a pioneer of this state, arriving here
shortly after the close of the Mexican war,
in which lie participated. He was also one
of the earliest settlers of the state of Nevada
and a pioneer of the Comstock, at
one time owning the Bloomington ranclie,
"wjiicj),???, iiijy . claimed, .. covered the
present side of Virginia City and Gold Hill.
At the beginning of the war of the rebellion
Mr. Gillespie warmly esjamseU the cause of
the confederacy, and raised a company in
Nevada at his own expense, Vtitli which he
went to Texas, accompanied by General Al
lien Sydney Johnston ami Dr. Sliowalter.
He was engaged in many battles of, the war,
and returned to this state at its close. He
was honest and upright in all dealings and
firm in his principles, lie was a native of
Georgia, where two of his brothers now re
side, one at Americus and the other in At
lanta.
SHOOTING AT GUITEAU.
How the I???oor Coward Acted Coder Fire.
Dispatch to Cincinnati Gazette.
Washington, September It.???Another at
tempt was made to-night to kill tlie assassin
Guiteau. It is very probable that it was an
insane freak, hut the intention of the soldier
who lirnl the shot was, from his standpoint,
well meant. It seems that for some days
there had been talk among the soldiers detail
ed to guard the wretch as to who should take
a shot at him whenever lie presented
himself _ at the window of his cell.
The prisoner???s cell hoiks out through
another window on the outside corridor, and
was plainly perceptible to the guards who
watched the eastern side of the jail. The duty
of tiring a shot at Guiteau. it appears, fell to
the lot of Sergeant John A. Mason, of com
pany 1??. 2d artillery, and he prepared for it
when lie was ordered with other soldiers to
leave the arsenal to go to the jail and perform
guanl duty. The wagon loads of soldiers
left the arsenal. Sergeant Mason was in the
last wagon. He was noticed liy some of
ins companions to fumble "with the
lock of his ritie, and act strangely, . but
nothing was said, as the sergeant had
been drinking during the day, and none in
the wagon were aware of the duty lie had lieen
culled on to fulfill, and when the wagon drew
up to the rear of the jail Mason was the first
to alight. He pushed hurriedly through a
group of several persons standing'around, and
reaching a small hillock about three feet from
where the horses stood, lie brought his rifle to
liis shoulder, took a steady aim at the well
known window of Guiteau opposite, shouted,
???there he is!??? and fired. The report of the
rifle attracted attention, and before the smoke
had cleared away twenty soldiers were col
lected around Mason, and Private Davis said:
???In heaven???s name, man, why did you
shoot????
???I wanted to kill that wretch in there,???
was the answer. ???I have been on this thing
for ten days, and I hope I have done the work
in good style.???
Mason then walked toward his commanding
officer, Captain McGilvary, saying. ???Captain,
I have endeavored to kill*that dirty loafer in
there. Here is my gun and bayonet, sir! run
me in.???
Captain McGilvary was astonished. He
liad heard the shot, and witnessed the excite
ment, hut liad not dreamed of the inten
tions of Mason. But when the latter
came forward and made his acknowledgment,
lie recognized that something serious had oc
curred. and turned Mason over to the custody
of two soldiers. About that time all was ex
citement ami confusion. Prisoners who
could who could look out of their windows
and had been aroused, began to scream and
sliout, and on tlie inside of the jail a scene of
the greatest excitement prevailed. Warden
Crocker and Deputy Busk, with several
guards off duty, who were conversing
ift the office of tlie jail, sprang to their feet
when tlie report of the rifle rang through the
corridor, and naturally believing what it
meant, ran toward Guiteau???s cell. They
found the latter on his knees, an expression
of terror on his face. ???Great God.??? lie ex
claimed,when General Crocker lookedjinto his
cell, ???what do those men mean, anyway???
Do they mean to murder met???
???Why, no; wliat are you taking about????
answered General Croaker, who had not
learned wliat the trouble was.
???Well, just this,??? answered Guiteau: ???I
have been shot at again. I was standing at-
my window just now, when a shot was tired
l??y one of those soldiers outside, tlie bullet
Passed my ear and went through my coat
hanging up there on tlie wall, cutting in pie
ces the photo of my old mother.???
???Did It strike you at all???? asked Crocker.
1 No. But, my God, it frightened me nearly
to death.???
???I will go out and find out about it,??? said
Crocker, and lie proceeded by tlie back door
to investigate. He found a* scene of confu
sion as lie descended and learned why Mason
had shot, and a brief consultation was held,
during which it was agreed to inform Guiteau
that the shooting was accidental. General
Crocker went back to Guiteau???s cell with the
message. Guiteau was as pale as a ghost
when he approached the cell. He found
Guiteau leaning against the liars, peering out
anxiously.
???All, general,??? he said, when the warden
returned, ???what have you learned????
???This,??? sai dCroeker, ???that you have not
been shot at all. One of the soldiers, ujion
alighting from the wagon, discharged his
weapon by accident, and I suppose it was tlie
lrall that entered your cell. Don???t think for
a moment, old fellow, that any shot at you.???
Guiteau took the explanation quietly* hut,
as General Crocker said afterward, there was a
suspicious look in his eyes, and lie fell hack
from his door and took a seat upon his cot, as
though lie was thinking.
???1 went out of the office,??? said General
Crocker, ??????and liad a talk with the guards, and
we came to the conclusion that Guiteau had
lictter lie removed to another cell. AVe
removed him. AVe took him down to the old
cell occupied by Jim Stone, who was hanged
for murdering liis wife, ami you ought to have
heard him kick. He thought, in the face of
an explanation, that lie liad been shot at by
accident; that liis sudden removal was very
strange, hut we pacified him, and took him
over to liis new cell.???
???Wliat did they do with Mason????
???Oh, they took that crank down to the arse
nal, and placed him under a strong guard,
and I don???t believe he will ever attempt to
shoot a man again.???
???AVhat did Guiteau say after lie got into his
new quarters????
???Not a word, except to complain that he
was not allowed a better view from the win
dow.???
???There is no chance for his being shot at
again????
??????Not the least. He is safe.???
AVlien Sergeant Mason was being driven
through the streets on his way to the arsenal
a crowd gathered at the corner of Third street
ami Pennsylvania avenue and gave him a
hurrah. They had evidently heard what lie
had done, hut lie lay hack between two stout
shoulders, and would say nothing. AVlien tlie
news became public to-night it created a sen
sation, and very many people regretted that
Mason's shot had missed its mark.
THE THREE FIENDS.
There were three demons came out of the deep;
Fiends that blighted the eyes to see:
That frightened the dreamer out of his sleep,
And chilled the heart with a sudden leap.
And numbed tlie brain with their stealthy creep,
A ghastly, terrible, horrible three.
???War??? was one, and his sable plume
Shadowed a face that was cruel as hate:
He awakened the dawn with the sullen boom
Of murderous guns; like a pall of gloom
Iluug the smoke of his breath, and pitiless doom
His mailed hands held like a soulless fate.
Life was his meat and his drink was gore;
Ked to his knees he walked in blood;
Laughed as he raged down the carmine shore,
liaising liis voice in the horrid roar
And shrieks of liis victims, as more and more
They swelled the ghastly flood.
And ???Rum??? was another one, grislv and grim;
Cruder, ten times told than you'd think;
Misery poisoned its beaker???s brim,
Death eternal, and hate, and sin.
Want and woe: he poured them in.
And gave to the world to driuk.
His victims were numberless as the sands,
Maiden and youth and hoary age:
The wisdom and courage of many lands.
Hearts of manhood, and dimpled hands,
They came to his death feast, ghostly bands,
AVeak fools and the strong-minded" sage.
And tlie third???be came with n goldin smile;
Gentle and kind he seemed to be;
But tlie heart of the fiend was full of guile.
In his merriest moments all the while
His thoughts were cruel, his plans were vile;
He was tlie worst of the three.
At feast and wedding he sat elate.
With luscious lips he kissed the bride:
He petted the little, he pleased the great.
While he wrecked the home and destroyed the state,
With the sway like the rule of an iron fate,
That you couldn???t resist if you tried.
Oh. woe was the home where he entered in!
He darkened the hearthstone that he stood by;
And faces pale, and wan, and thin.
Looked up in fear at his mocking grin.
And the victims knew, as they scooped him in,
- They were hopeless slaves of the demon ???Pie.???

THE SCARCITY OF CORN.
A TALK ON THE SUBJECT WITF
JUDGE HILLYER.
After a Trip Through the North and West. He De
clares the Crop to be a Host Lamentable
Failure, and Advises Our People to
Husband Every Blade of Grass.
It will be remembered that some time ago Senator
Brown, after a trip to and from Little Rock, Arkant
sas, wrote a letter to Tue Constitition advising the
farmers to save all that was possible on their farms,
as the com crops of the country through which he had
passed were very short, and there would be a great
scarcity of com and high prices would prevail. On
yesterday a representative of The Constitution met
Judge George Ilillyer, who has just returned from
an extensive trip through the northwest. He said:
???I- have been anxious to see you because I have
something that I think should be said through your
paper to the farmers of Georgia.???
???AVhat is it????
???1 have traveled in the past month through ti\e
upper neck of Michigan, Illinois and the greaf
northwestern com country. I canto on south through
the corn belt of Kentucky; through Tennessee on
to Atlanta. I then went up to Spartanburg, across
toward Asheville and returned. In alljray travels
I was carefully observant, and I say delib
erately that I never saw a single acre of com that in
my opinion would yield ten bushels to the acre. I
rode through miles and miles of corn fields tliat
would not yield a peek to the acre. It was literally
scorched and i??irvhed until it scarcely looked like
com. In the com belt of Kentucky, I found that
affairs were even worse than in the northwest. The
Kentucky river was coated with what looked like a
heavy scum,and tlie Cumberland in places was only
a few inches deep. The drouth has been fearful,and
the effect on the crops is terrible to contemplate.??? ???
???Vou think that there will be a great scarcity of
com????
???I do. Governor Brown, a short time ago, trav
eled from the cast to the west, and reported that the
com crop was almost wholly destroyed. My course
was irom the north to the south, through the best
corn sections, and I found the same state of affairs.
I think the crop will be very short. There are cX^-
perts in the markets who talk of a large reserve that
is held at a distance from the railroads and that
high prices will bring out. I know noth
ing of this, hut I do know that the
crop for the present year will be lamentably short,
and I fear that there will be great scarcity and cor
respondingly high prices.???
???AVhat is your advice in the premises ????
???My advice is that the funnels should husband
every blade of grass that they have on their farmsA
The equluoxial gale brought heavy and gcncrau
rains. These rains will bring out very fully the
crab grass that is to found on all our soil. The
land having failed to produce the corn
crop has had comparative rest and"
will produce a heavy grass crop. There
is no 1 >etter hay than our ordinary grass
if it is only gathered at the right time and projierly
cured; it should he gathered when tire seeds are ripe
and after the first frost has fallen. It can he easily
cured and makes good food for stock. I know the
value of grass as a food for stock, as I never knew it
before, since I have been through Canada on this
trip.. I saw comparatively little wheat in the
dominion, hut I saw grass farms covering hundreds
of acres and I noticed through the grass country
the finest stock and cuttle awl iloeks that I ever saw,
and the appearance of??? thrift, pros
perity and health everywhere. It made
me a great believer in grass and
in grass farming. There never was a time when
our people needed so imperatively to save every
thing that they can use a substitute for com as at
present, mid if they arc wise they will heed this
warning and prepare for a haul winter. I trust T
am no alarmist, hut I have never felt so called upon,
to give to the public what I know and have seen o!
the com crop.???

Stopping at one of tlie hotel at Hemlock
lake, in New York, was a man who was somewhat
boastful of his adventures and of the courage he
had displayed on several trying occasions. The
other young men of the hotel made a laughingstock
of him and resolved to humiliate him thoroughly
for what was. after all, only a little harmless lying.
The opjiortnnity came when the supposed braggart
invited a young lady to take a carriage ride with
him. The practical jokers, disguising themselves
with masks, hid in a lonely spot on the road, and as
their would-be victim passed rushed out and de
manded hismonevorhislife. Theygotneither, but
one received a bullet in the body and another had
his arm broken by the same unerring aim. There
will be no more practical jokes played at Hemlock
