SHELTON, July 1.-THE decomposing body of
Peter Stroup. German laborer, who was APP
parently about 80 years of age, was found in
the old sanders logging camp, near Kamilchie,
by Mr. Sanders, who was looking over the place
An examination of the dead body by those who
went to the plaee on Sanders report, showed
that death was caused by two bullet
wounds-one bullet having entered the
head and the other near the heart With the
body was found pistol. which might lead to
the belief that the man had committed suicide
though the nature of the wounds is such
that either might have caused instant death
II seems strange, though, that the man should
have selected such an out-of- the-way locality
for committing a deed OF selfdcstruetion. on
the other hand there seems no apparent cause
for murder. Ii was ascertained after
ward that the dead man had written q letter
10 Jesse Bowman, of Kapilchie, stating that il
was his intention TO so 20 South America, and
rather despondingiy stating that he would
surely be dead If not heard from in two months
The coroner OF Mason county was notified of
the finding of the remains and viii investigate
