An Unknown Man Found Dead at Point
Lobos With a Rope Around

G. d. Dearsoff of 1917 Mission street was
strollIng along the beach near Point Lo-
bos yesterday when he came upon the
dead body of man in cleft of the rocks.
Without waiting to make any closer ex-
animation of the corpse Dearsoff notified
the life-saving corps near by, and the
whole force turned out.
Tne crevice in the rocks In which the
body lay was at the foot of an almost per-
pendcular bluff and was hard to reach.
The man had evidently fallen or had been
thrown from the brow oil the cl IF above.
fore they succeeded in getting out the
corpse. Then it was taken in charge by
Coroner HAWKINS to await the verdict OF
Coroner's jury.
There was nothing on the person OF the
deceased by which he could be identified.
He had not been dead for more than two
days and the features were not too much
dishgured to prevent Identification. The
deceased was about 65 years old and wore
white mustache and chin beard. The
body was without hat or coat and was at
tired in brown vest, brown pants and
Gaiter shoes. Around the neck was q
piece of window cord looped, and with
the free end broken. The neck showed
signs of stIangulation, as there was deep
red furrow where the cord had almost cut
into the skin. BY the side of the body
was an empty whisky flask.
The corpse is marked Unidentified, I"
and lies in box In the Morgue.

bead of cattle between six and seven

pigs got was the droppings of the cat

the pigs CARED $50 pounds. This we
con-ider fair test, as the cattle were
on full feed and the PIGS were used to
the scavenger work and as full at one
weighing as the other; however, we
put more large thin pigs in with the Sc
