lying severely wounded in ameadow adjoin-
ing the Poorhouse at Oneida Junction,
twentysix miles east of this place. He was
unconscious and apparently in dying con-
dition. \ bullet hole was plainly visible in
the left side, the incison being blackened
with smoke and powder Near Kendall
were two shovels strapped together in Il
piece of old carpet, and satcRel. On his
person were dirk and two revolvers. while
in the satchel was Il bottle of whiskev. out
Of which only IL small quantity had been
taken, a cant hook, long piece of rope,
Il dark lantern. screw-driver and other
tools used in grave robbing. The fact that
these implements were found so near at
hand leaves little doubt as to the object of
his GRAND to this secluded spot Several
theories are advanced to account for his
presence in the meadow but none have been
yet verified. Suicide has been suggested.
Whether kendall's wound was received by
accident or at the hand of some neighbor
who was on the alert for graveyard robbers.
cannot be ascertained.
