A DEAD BODY FOUND.
Supposed to be That of a Negro
Boy Who Lived i'll This City.


From the Columbus GaJ Enquirer Sun.
On Saturday Mr.. Walter Cook, of Chat
tahoochee county, went to Mr.. Il. G. Pat
terson's plantation, in that county, to see
him on business, and leaving there, got
the direction of a neighbours house a near
way through the woods. In going there
he passed through a thick woods to log
across the creek While CROSSING the log
he discovered 3 gun with the butt resting
on the bottom of the creek and
the muZzle resting against she log. He
reached down to pull the gun up and dis
covered foot sticking out OF the sand in
the bottom of the creek. Looking closer he
discovered another foot. 1t being nearly
dusk he did not feel inclined to examine
any further and retraced his steps, a little
faster, however, than they We're made to
Mr.. Patters0n's house, and told him the
circumstances. MIR. Patterson next morn
ing gathered a few neighbors together
and went to the place and found the skele-
ton of a man, the flesh evidently having
been eaten off by the buzZards. He also
found coat and hat. The coat showed
a hole on the right side OF 1t with pow
der burn around it. The coat and hat
were recognized by several and the gun
by the owner of it, but there was nothing
else to indicate who the man was.
1t appears that about the middle of June
a negro boy about Is years old, and reared
by Henry King, OF ChattahoOchee, who
had been living in Columbus, went to Mr..
Kings house and was there and in the
neigh borhood until when last seen on
June 26, when he borrowed gun TO 90
hunting. On that day he went to Kings
store and bought some ammunition. He
left there and went Ina the direction Of the
woods where he was found.
A coroner's jury was summoned, and
from all the facts and circumstances
they were satisfied that the remains were
those of HIlliSrd King, the negro above
referred to- and that he was Killed by the
accidental discharge of the gun he car
ried while crossing the log. 1t is sup
posed that he must have rested the but
of TIE gun on the log to steady himself,
when it was accidentally DISCHARGED, kill.
ing MIN Instantly. His remains were
buried by his friends.
billiard King is a son of Steve King, of
this city, and who has for several years
been employed at the Rankin House.
