WAS SCOTTY THE
MURDERED Oil THE DESERT
Left Home in DeatH Valley on a Nule-Rittss Animal v Cdl
- lops Into (amp with Saddle Pierced Dy Bullet and
, Blanket and Saddle Covered with Blood.
Los Angeles, Dec. 21. It is now con
fidently believed that Walter Scott the
cowboy miner who lately attracted such
widespread attention through his lavish
scattering of money and various spec
tacular episodes, has been murdered in
Death Valley. On December 1 he left
hi home for Death Valley, riding a mule
and carrying with him $1800 and two
repeating rifle. According to a letter
received by Rol King, Scott' manager in
thi city, from Scott' brotherWilliam, at
Bennet Well, ' the miner' mule galloped
riderless into camp there on December 7
with the saddle pierced by a bullet and
the .blanket and saddle covered with'
blood. . '
Today King telegraphed $1000 're
ward to Barstow ard Bull Frog for the
recovery of Scott' body. King 1 satis
fied that Scott has' been murdered for
his money somewhere on the desert.
Already a thorough search for the
miner has been instituted in Death Val
ley and throughout the Funeral mount
ains. Scott's brother accompanied by
Shank Merricks. a well known desert
scout, went back on the trail of the
miner's mule for 50 mile after it came
into camp, but a terrific sand storm fi
nally obliterated all trace - and their
water supply having become exhausted
the men were compelled to return to
camp. Later they started out again and
the search is being continued. ; "
