CINCINNATI Tribune.)


HINDMAN. KY, March 2.-In 1890
Aaron Pinston, a farmer OF this county,
aged SO years, was indicted by the Knott
county Circuit Court for hog-stealing.
Pinston had large family, but when
the officers went to arrest him they
were told that he had left home the night
before, going toward the mountains.
His family did not become alarmed for
some time. thinking that he would
return. Failing TO hear from him, they
succeeded in getting the indictment set
aside, but still nothing could be heard
Of him. He was finally given up as dead.
and his widow married.
Last week, while hunting on Cars
Fork. near it's mouth, some men saw
smoke coming from under a large rock
ON the side OF steep mountain, and
a place so difficult OF access that no one
ever yentured to IL. They started In
search of the spot from/where the smoke
was issuing, and with some difficulty
reached the place.
They were horrised at what they raw.
Living wrapped In skins near lire was
an old man, who had apparently been
dead not more than twenty-four hours.
Under the rock he had dug away the
earth. and with sticks aud stones h.
built him warm and cominooious httie
room. The floor was laid with skins
of sheep. hogs. and cattle. The walls
were also lined inside with sheepskins,
and a cot made Of logs and skins vas
ON one side. Near the opening was
a fireplace, in which there was still some
wood burning.
lie had no cooking utensils. no gun,
and no axe, and il was u mystery
how he had managed to kin the animals.
Upon Investigation 4 was found that
there was a narrow path winding Ground
the side OF the mountain. ana at a
