MYSTERY ON MYSTERY.
Skeleton of Missing Pennsylvania
Found in the Woods.

Coudersport, Pa, Nov. 1.-THE finding
OF a skeleton in the woods In Mexican
county, five miles west of the Potter
county line, on Wednesday, by Earl Frank,
pheasant hunter, discloses a murder, and
solves the mystery surrounding the dis
appearance two months ago of d. 7. Col
grove, for whom search was made for
three or four weeks.
The identity of the skeleton has been made
certain by Colgrove's brother, who recos-
nized portions of the clothing. The skull
had been severed from the body and lay 1T
the feet, while one of the arms was found a
rod away.
A rope wound about the butt OF the tree
indicates that Colgrove was either tortured
before killed, or else was left TO die tied
to the tree, and after death his bones were
pulled apart by wild beasts. If the latter
had been the case, however, it is believed
that the animals would have also torn
apart other portions of the body.
The general belief is that the murderer
or murderers severed the mans head from
his body. The motive for the crime is
believed to have been important secrets
known by Colgrove, which he refused 10
disclose.
