The Graphic Story of Mr. L. McCoy, the Scout. On the 8:h of August, Mr. William Aust, a wealthy and popular business man on 16th street, left his family and affairs 1n the city for a trip to Deadwood, to settla up a mat- ter of long standing which involved nearly two thousand dollars, Ho was at the time in apparen'ly good health, with every prospact of a Over a week had elapsed since his departure when tho startling newe was received by his friends that he had from stage, at a Sidney and b2en wandering, undiscovered, on the longlife ahead of him. here leaped the point west of had vast and desolate plains of Western After some uncortainty and delay by reason of unsatisfactory of the report, Mr. L MCoy, propriotor of the Cault house, in Shull’s addition, was commissioned by the Knights of Pythic of which Mr. Aust was a member, to procoed to Sidney, take up the lost trail, aud if possible dis- Nebraska for five days, confirmation cover the missing mun or his remains, Mr. McCoy is an old scout, familiar with the ocountry in which the tragedy took place, and withal exactly the man for so im- portant a mission. The noblo hearted men on the frontier rallied to his as sistance readily and stood ready to render any sorvice, however difforent or arduous in the causo of humanity, and the result of the effort wis the discovery of the remains on Friday within a short distancs of the station at Snake Creck, which could have been seen by the unfortunate man | had he climbed the ridge half a mile from the powt at which he expired. The men 1 and about Snake Creeh and lo- | oality e unsvimous in ae- cribing the deach of Aust to the inac- tion of the stage company’s servants and attacher, Mr, McCoy returned from Sidney | yesterday, aud from him we loarn the graphic details of tho horrible affair, | which are here given: Aust left Cheyeune on the 10th inst., having previously written a loter, bearing tho suno date, o bis | family, which was the last communi- cation ever received from him until | after his death, Oa the 11th of July | he loft Sidney, being booked by stage | for Deadwood. There is no teati mony to show that he had been drinking to excess, although his ao tions were remarked as “rather queer.” At Moore's Ranch, on the Platte, ho got out of the stage anc entoring the houso called for w glasy of lemonade and treated the boys to sowo cigars. He appeared perfectly rationul at this uwe, and 0 paying for the stufl handed over the exack ochange frow the silver he had in his pocket, & Co, As to his subsequen: fate and tions there are numerous and couta-r New Brith Light 5 paying oxpross charges., Silver Plum Daily News Surpris s Frontier Grand Discovery Unexcelled Plow Western Boauty Same as Last Cnieum No, 1.&2, Richmond Gem Veteran Duke Durham Between the Acts A fall line of Playiag O dictory statements. The driver of the stage, on being interrogated by Mr. McCoy, first said that Aust had jumped off about two hundred yards | from Snake Creek station, but after- | wards, on being more closely ques- tioned confessed that he did not know | when his passenger did get off. There was no other passenger on the stage and when Snake Creek was reached the driver jumped right off, and want into the house to get his | lunch. He made the remark while eating that he had a crazy man in_the | the stage, but seems to have given himself 1o trouble to look after him, and on couclud his meal, mounted to his sext, whipped up the horsesand left the station on a run, never once looking into the vehicle to see if his passenger was there. Tt is doubtful at what poiat this driver actually did discoves: the loss of his passenger, but tain, and for this he is very much blamed by Mr, McCoy, that hie never notified the superintendent or any of the attaches of the stage line of the fact that Aust had disappeared until five days afrer the occurrence, when all hopes of fiading or saving tho unfortunate man were well nigh exhausted. Had he taken the com- moneat precaution, as any disinter- ested party even might have been ex- i pected to do, and notitied either the | men about the station or the stccx- | men in that vicinity; had he even sent back word by the next stage that his man was missing, all hands unite in saying that there would have been a general turnout for a search and that he would have been found in a few hour’s time and would have to- day been 1n all probability, alive and well. Even after the hasty notifica- tions sent in hive days after the affair, no systematic organized search was made. The probabilities are that on leav- ing the route travelled by the stage, Aust wandered off toward the sand hills, some five or ten miles. He had only crossed the ridge and reached the foot of the hills when found. His boots were some what run down at the heel and as he sank in the yielding sand at every step they must have begun to hurt him and he pulled them off evidently went on, forgetting that he had lefe them, One was found a long way from his remains and the other was not discovered. His hat, also, was discarded in the wanderings of his lonely trip and then his coat. The former was found five miles away, tho latter was not seon at all. Left in this condition, tramping over the prickley growth that covered the plains, his feet becamo swollen and festered by the following day; the hot sun beat down upon his uncovered head and added to the confusion of a mind already tot- tering. At last, five days after he had been lost, alone on the ridge, he took his notes and papes trom his pockets and with a pencil wrote this short note: Jury, Tk (no dite) 1882,--1 h.ve been carried away one evening from Owmaha, my home, and they got me to a place 1 ¢id not know Found out in the morning it was a great territory I haye nothmy to oat or drink in five days—I can’t say when 1 can get any, I say good byeto you all and hops you will do well.

McCoy loft Omaha armed witha letter from Mayor Boyd, introducing him to Lieut, Schuyler.

Proceeding to the station, the party was jomed by three of the stockmeu and the search continued, Hero it | was learned that a five new hat had been found about five miles away and worh into the station by a cowboy, who was told that it belonged to a dead man, and who offered to give it up to auybody who elaimed it. Abo two and a half or threo miles from the station the body of the m ssing wan wus found, He lay on the east side of the sand hills, reclining on his wight side, his head resting on the right hand and the face turned toward the cast. The remains were clad in vest, pauts and the usual un derclothing and presented a terrible appearance, The flesh was ontireiy eaten from the lefs wrm and right leg, only the naked bones being left.

It is not probable that he will réturn before Thursday or Friday. Mr. Aust being entitied to $3,000 in- | Burance, it is necessary that the re- mains be brought back and iden- tiied to secure this relier to the family.
