WINCHESTER, RANDOLPH County, w
Va, August Son Monday Mr.. Lee
Werner arrived at Winchester, W, Va,
with the news that the skeleton Of a mar
had been found near the headwaters ol
the Greenbrier river, and that a search
ing party Of citizens had recovered all
bones and other materials, What was
found consisted OF the entire skeleton
except the ribs, a bottle containing some
sort OF medicine, hat, coat, shoes and a
broken staff, and ten cent piece, The
finding OF this skeleton recalls to the
minds OF many citizens OF the neighbor-
hood two most peculiar incidents which
occurred there about six years ago, and
circumstantial evidence at this late day
seems to corroborate the theory that q
foul murder was then committed,
SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES.
About six years ago there put in an
appearance at Yeager 4 Gonley's store a
party OF three who were out on fishing
trip. The party consisted OF two young
men from BuCkhannon, w. Va, and a
gentlemen from the Eastern part OF Vir.
ginia, The young men induced the gen.
tleman to buy revolver for them, and
they then tried II near the stsre and pro.
ceeded on their journey. This was the
last heard Of them until q letter came
from DuCkhannou containing money to
pay q board bill and instructions to for.
ward all their baggage TO BuCkhannon,
giving as a reason for not coming back
for II in person that the Eastern gentle-
man had changed his mind as TO their
route ana they had all gone home by an.
other way. This would seem reasonable
enough had they not been seen by three
persons going back by the same route
without the gentleman, and keeping
about one.half mile away from the pike
along the mountains.
LATER DEVELOPMENTS.
A few weeks after this a hunting party
camped within fifty yards Of the place
where the bones were recently found,
and several OF this party recollect Of
making a search 10 discover the cause Of
an offensive stencil near their camp, but
without success.
The present condition OF the site
shows that the small trees and brush
growing upon the place where their
camp fire wqs located, and the growth OF
the same kinds OF trees and shrubs be-
tween the bones Of the dead man, are
about equal in development. AS the
ribs Of the skeleton are missing 1t cannot
be told whether the man was a
victim OF hot lead or not, but
a further search will be made for the
missing parts. Yeager and Goudy left
the neighborhond some time ago and II
Is not known where they went TO, but
as Mr.. Gonley Is also from BuCkhannon
he might be able to give the names Of
his toWnsmen who accompanied the
gentleman and returned without him,
although there is no evidence that this
particular man did not get homo In
safety. But the peoplein that neighbor-
hood want to known whose bones they
have found, since no one has been

A TRAGIC TALE.
INT. sad. sad tale Of woe which

This sad, sad tale of woe which
Am called upon 70 sing
In one that stirs up many a sigh
And cuts like everything.
II tells In language short and terse
A very tragic story;
A direful, doleful yarn Ia verse
Weird, horrible and CORY.
The autumn leaves lay everywhere,
The country roads were glutted,
When mp the slope with gallant air
Aturkey gobbler strutted.
He proudly bore his head erect
And hurriedly stalked by
Some brother cocks that idly pecked
With necks turned all awry.
November's days were nearly passed,
The one for which he sighed
Had almost come TO him at last
And brought his bonnie bride
What marvel that he loved her when
Her form was full Of grace;
The tenderest, meatiess, plumpest hen
That pecked around the place.
The weary months OF waiting done,
His heart was light and gay;
The morning sun would see them one
a glad Thanksgiving Day.
Already he might laugh at fate,
A fare well kiss, AID then
The gallant turkey gob would mate
The peerless turkey henl
he reached the yard. What hideous sight
Is this which greets has eyes;
Upon a block ia bioodiest plight
His chosen sweetheart liesl
A butchers cieaver lay beside,
All streaked with ruddy saips;
And she who was to be- ffs bride
was minus head and brains!
The neighb'ring turkeys stood around
Protesting az the slaughter;
While with their tears her parents drowned
The body of their daughter.
Before his eyes they cruelty took
His matchless fancee,
And gave her TO the ruthless cook
To roast-Thanksgiving Day.
Then on hat %cleaver down he fell
And with its edge c)llided,
And in less time than can tell
That gobbler suicided.
At early morn they found him there
And counted IL a blessing,
To make of h m Thanksgiving fare
Served up with oyster dressing.
