outside of town, last evening. He started a
flock, shot into them and dropped one in the
thick brush, which he went after. when, to
his surprise, man was apparently picking
it up. He approached to claim his quail,
when to his horror he discovered that he was
standing before hideous skeleton. One look
wss enough for Jenkins. He concluded that
he had gos all the quail he wanted for one day,
and came into town and notified the Coronar,
who went after the body. It was found on
the side Of hill in sitting position. with a
piece of hsy-rope tied around his neck, the
other end attached to the limb of tree, aud
had apparently been there six or eight
months, as the flesh was entirely gone from
the bones. The body had on pink striped
calico shirt, pants, vest and frock coat of
dark brown cloth, a new Darby hat and Con.
gress CATERS. The body was about five feet
eight inches tall, dark brown hair and heavy
mustache, and had one tooth gone from the
lower jaw. Judging from the hair, the re-
mains are those of man about 80 years of
age.
