Emporia, Va. special of today says:
William Bate who lives about thir-
teen miles north Of this place came here
this morning and reported the finding
in the woods, near his home of the
dead bodies of r. d. Mitchell and Miss
Mabel Lee, both of Stoney Creek, Va.
The bodies were so badly decomposed
as to render the faces beyond recogni-
ton.
These parties ran away from Stoney
Creek last Tuesday or Wednesday TO
be married. The horse was found
wandering near the bodies in the woods
was identified as the one Mitchell drove
from that place, which fact. together
with the general appearance of the
bodies made Identification possible.
The bodies were lying side by side.
Pistol shot wounds were in both and .
pistol was lying between them. Sup
position is that Mitchell shot the girl and
then killed himself. Both parties were
prominent in the community in which
they formerly resided. Relatives of the
couple came here today to take charge
of the bodies.

ba a very natural desire to remove all

provisions in the projected treaty as
those touching coaling stations and the
ownership of the Isle of Pines be eX-

shall be absolutely binding upon both
parties, and only when these things are
done will the small remaining force ~
United States troops be Withdrawn.
