sst. ffiroriw mi - ANOTHER MYSTERY . CLEARED UP. 1 LOST IN THE BUSH.. A TERRIBLE FATE. (From. the Sydney Evening News.) Occasionally, and.happily at long intorvala, the most harrowing records of sufforing find their way into public circulation, but it Is not often that tho connected story of an appalling death is brought to light with such distinctness as belongs to the clearing up of tho mystery which for two years shrouded tho namo of Eb. Jackson. In March, 18S1, Eb., who had boon for many years in tho omnloy of a largo firm of squatters in Victoria, loft ono of thoir Coopor's Creek stations for tho puvposo or going to Molbourno. Ho had earned a holiday by long.Borvico, and ho wanted medical horn for two ailments— bad tooth and bad attacks of rheumatism. With two good horses ho soon covorod tho dry stretch of country botweon tho crock and tho Darling Rlvor, which ho followed down to Wontworth, whero ho left tho horses with a friend to tako oaro of for tho return trip. Two letters woro rocoived on the station from him during his absonco, tho lost ono saying that ho was vory muoh bottor, that ho had enjoyed himaolf vpry much, and was then on the point of starting back. Within a fow days of writing that lotter ho turned up in duo courso at Wontworth, got his horses, nnd started for homo. A Week afterwards he spout a night at Monindio.'and that was tho last time ho was known to havo bcon soon alive. ■ „ Iri May, 1886, iust two years and ono month after his disappearance, a wpll -mounted traveller, making ashort, but (to him) familiar out 'across from tho Upper Darling to the lower end of Cooper's Crook, mado his way, into a gully on tho west sidoof.tho Gommbom Ranjgo to camp for tho night, in tho hope oC finding a littlo grass and water in thomidst of tho provailing dosolation of drought Of water thero was vory littlo ; but thoro wns, at least, enough dry feed to amuso his homo for an hour or two, and enablo himself to get a rest. Tho saddle wns soon off, and tho hobbles on ! tho flro alight, and tho quart pot boiling. Somo broad and moat from a pared in the saddlepouch formed an ample supper, and tho tirod traveller, having first taken up a fow links in tllo Uobblo chains, was soon rolled up in his blankets and ns fast rtslocp as an old biishman knows how to bo. At gray dawn ho was on his feet and away up to tho head of the gorgo after his horse ; but wilhin 200 yard 3of his camp, and right on tho edge of a small holo that had once hold wator, ho was horrified to, find that in tho dim light he had all but Bloppod on somothing that had onco been a man.- If; liad.ovldontly boon a long timo in tho gully, and as evidently had boon dragged about by dogs, for on further examination tho head lay at somo distance from the body, nnd tho bonos raUlcd in portions of tho clotiung, most of which, however, had disappeared. Under a- treo, about a hundred yards away, was tho rusty and partially decayed remains of a saddle, and in the weathprbeaten pouch, which stiii hung from tho I), s was a shrivelled pockotbook, in which, after pationt search, was deciphered tho following mournful statement:— ''l have got to die in this misorablo gully, Whon I got horq thoro was no water, and my horso got awny in tho night nnd mado back to the camp at Canewfiita, that is forty miles away, and I can t walk forty yards with tho rheumatism that came back to me again tho other night throughmy ownneglcct. It's hard to die within about eighty miles from homo, and maybo I'll never bo found. If I am, will someone writo to my slstor. .(Horo followed tho address.] I havo nothing with mo but a bito of lea and sugar, and, liko a fool, because I folt well, I left tho. only thing that ever did my rheumatics good, that St. Jacobs Oil, to come on by tho mailman. God forgive me for what harm I'vo done that I didn't know of, and that is tho lust of Eb. Jackson. Within a week a couplo of men woro sent over from tho station to bury tho remains, and this, tlio latest rovolntion of "Lost in tho Bush," has only recently been added to tho mournful literaturo, so peculiarly Australian undor that hcadinc 491 , i gitttevicnt'g gEotfe gMW.
