BROTHERS GO
TO VIEW BODY
THE REMAINS OF E. L. WENTZ
LIE IN VIRGINIA MOUNTAINS AWAIT
ING AN INQUEST.

Guard of Twenty-Five Men Surrounds
the Body, which was Discovered
BY Miner Who is Thought to BE
Entitled to the $1,000 Reward Of
fered-BOdy VIII Not Be Disturbed
Until the Arrival of the Wentxes
How 1t Was Found.
Bristol, Va, May 9.--The body of e.
L. Wentz, discovered in the mountains
near Kelley View, Wise county, Vir-
ginia, Sunday afternoon by Dave Raj
eigh, a miner employed at an opera
tion at Blackwood, Va, while hunting
a lost COW, lies tonight identically as
1t was first seen, and around 1t stand
guard of twenty-five men under the
command of Supt. Arthur Foster OF
the Osaka plant of the Virginia Coal
and Iron Company.
The body has not been disturbed in
any way and will not be until to-mor-
row, when D. B. Wentz and J. L.
Wentz, brothers of the dead man, ar
rive on the scene. They are en- route
tonight in special train from Phila-
delphia- No inquest has been held and
will not be until the brothers are on
! the scene.
Upon making the CHASTITY discovery
Raleigh ran to Blackwood, mining
settlement, mile or more distant, and
there first told of the fact to Bent Kill
gore, police officer of that section.
Started for the Spot.
Kilgore communicated with J. T.
Bullitt at Big Stone Gap, shortly be-
fore dark Sunday evening, and forth
with a party, headed by Mr.. Bullitt
and carrying lanterns to aid them on
their journey through the dark passes
of the mountains, started for the scene,
some twelve miles distant. They ar
rived shortly after IL o'clock, and at
once, stretching ropes around the body,
inclosing it in a thirty foot square,
placed guard, which was not relieved
until after daylight this morning.
AS to the amount of the reward, 1t
is generally believed that the man dis
covering the body will receive $1,000
However, no one has as yet spoken
with authority on this subject. This
Iron and Coal Company as substi-
tute for similar amount at first Of
fered by the Wentz family.
AS no examination has been made
of the body, little has so far been de-
termined as to the cause Of his death.
All seem to agree that he was shot,
but whether it was suicide or murder
is the question. Two of his front teeth
are gone, presumably shot out. while
holes, thought to be bullet holes, are
found through the coat and vest, just
below the ribs on the left side.
Hair and Clothes scOrched.
The place in which the body lies has
been recently burned off by forest fires
and his hair and clothing scorched. The
body is lying about thirty feet from
the mountain path, and is now easily
seen for a hundred feet. Last fall
when the searching party was out, the
spot was hidden by underground and
leaves. The color of his clothing Is 80
much like that Of the logs upon which
the head rests, that the searchers fail
passed within twenty feet of him. Num-
bers of men have recently passed near
the snot without discovering the body,
though from all appearances. there
seems no doubt but it has lain there
all the time.
Hundreds OF people visited the spot
last night and to-day.

Gen. Wood states firing was twice

wounded in the thigh. \ number
of troopers also were wounded.
1t is said at the war department
that this destruction OF Elassan S
band is a case OF retributive justice.
Major Scott suffered at the hands
OF this :anatical Moro. The chief
enticed the major off into the jul,-
gle. pretending to be friendly and
shot him from ambush. Since that
time Major Scott has been on his
trail and has now DESTROYED his

have numbered about six hundred,
and if entirely destroyed. as the ca
