Mr. Biscol
Arizona Republican Newspaper
August 16, 1895

Sheriff Cameron and Coroner Prime were called to Davenport 
Wednesday to investigate the case of a corpse found 150 yards 
from the track.  The body was badly decomposed but there were 
suggestions of a violent death.  The suspenders of the dead 
man wre tied about the neck, indicating the possibility of 
death by strangulation.  His pockets revealed some letters, 
the characters on which cannot be deciphered.

Dr. Roberts of Williams has written to Justice Prime that the 
man was his patient there. His mind was unbalanced and the 
last heard of him he had started to walk to Flagstaff.

The manner of his death is a mystery and he was buried where 
he was found. The name of the dead man is believed to have 
been Biscol.
