MUNN DAVIS
J.S. STEARNS
February 13, 1897

Kingman--J.H. Bowman, who went to San Bernardino to hunt for Munn 
Davis and J.S. stearns, returned to Reville on the Colorado River, 
ninety miles north on Wednesday night and reported that the 
searching party had found the remians of both men a few miles 
from camp.  They were shot through the head. Little mouse, a 
Piute indian who murdered the men left White Hills on the 28th 
of January with the avowed intention of killing the first white 
man he met.  He crossed the river at Vegas Wash and lost his 
horse in the quicksand, went up the river a short distance 
opposite the camp of Davis and Stearns and they took him to 
the Arizona side in a boat. He stayed all night in the camp.  
In the morning he took Davis and Stearns into the hills a few 
miles and killed them, then went to Bonelli Ferry, stole a horse 
and was last seen at Vegas Wash Ranch in Nevada.
