Identification was made by Slim Riffle and two other men whose names we were unable to learn. Clyde was an old-age pensioner and was well known in Mojave; having been a miner most of his life. He had worked for Mrs. McAllister for some time and when he didn't show up anywhere she was sure something had happened to him. Mr. Short is survived by a niece in San Bernardino and other relatives in Santa Monica. Graveside services will be held Saturday, May 22, at 10:00 under direction of O'Donnell Funeral Home of Barstow. Interment will be in the Hermosa Cemetery at Colton, Calif.
