The of ficer is so well satisfied of this that he has abandoned the contemplated relief expedition from Kamela to the cabin. The deputy sheriff received his In formation from George Adams and the other ranchers on Upper McKay creek. According to them, the man was seen less than two weeks ago and at that time he had plenty of provls. Ions. They are therefore of the opin ion that he could be In no danger of starving.
