TROUT LAKE SKELETON.


There IL possibility that the skeleton
found at Trout lake may be that of Con"
Demolitor. aged u years who went hunt
ing from Tacoma six years ago and never
returned. The objection to this theory is
that Demoisfor must have travelled eight
or ten miles after leaving his boat. near
Browns point. The Tacoma Ledger says:
1T was Demoiitor's intention to cross
over the ridges toward the White river
valley in search Of game. Whether his
death WAS case of suicide or accident
III the skeleton be mis-. cannot be told OF
course. though no cause for his commit
ting suicide is known.
James Demoiifor. a brother, owned a
fish market here at the time. Later he
was sent 10 the Steiiacoom asylum. where
he died about year and half ago.
James Demoiitor and second brother
made thorough search for their missing
brother at the time His boat was found
on the bank at Browns point. and they
learned that he had been seen going up
over the bank. He never returned and
they came to the conclusion that he was
dead
THE Demolitor brothers were natives
of Truro. ~. s, and came here about
seven years ago. Frank Aylwin. who yes
terday connected the mysterious disap-
pearance Of Demolitor with the finding Of
the skeleton. does not know what has be-
come OF the third brother"
