A BODY FROM THE PARK.
The flesl1less Skull Harbors a Colony
of Living Mice.

Away over in the northwest corner of Golden
Gate Park in spot hardly ever frequented by
visitors and beneath pile OF brush, which
had been lodged on the body by the friendly
winds, the decomposed remains OF a man were
discovered yesterday afternoon by two men
named Kadisant and Cantibertha, who hap
pened 10 visit the spot bow long the corpse
had been lying whrre 1t was found could not
be cOnjectured. The elements had washed
away every shred of flesh that had been ex-
posed and even the clothing was so decayed
that no estimate of the suicides condition in
life was possible
That il was case of suicide admitted OF no
doubt as beside he body was an empty cOrked
bottle that once had contained laudanuin. The
sand aud leaves mad partially covered the
body. but the fieshless skull. In which colony
of mice had nest, was fully exposed. When
the body was disturbed by the Deputy Cor
oner a half dozen Of these little animals sprang
from the eyeless sockets and scampered of in
the brush.
Not all indication OF the identity of the body
was TO be found, and IL was so greatly decayed
that not even an estimate OF It's age was
possible. I he Coroner thinks that the suicide
must have occurred at least two or more
months ago.
