A Skeleton in a Tree Trunk.

Euiaula, l. T., May S.-Workmen
who we're clearing timber in the woods
near here several days ago cut down
an old hollow tree trunk and in the
tree found the complete skeleton Of a
man. The skeleton had apparently
been there long time, as the bones
were bleached perfectly white. How
they came there is a mystery. A
wind storm had broken it off about
fifteen feet from the ground, leaving
a hollow cylinder which had stood
for a great many years. There was
no opening except at the top. The
man might have climbed to the top
OF the tree to get at q nest OF SOUR.
rels or birds and into the hollow and
been wedged In too tightly to get
out. Another theory is that the man
was murdered and his body placed in
the hollow OF the old tree, but even
this would have been q difficult thing
to do, as the murderers would have
had a hard time to get the body to
the top OF the trunk. 1t was in the
same neighborhood that a few
months ago a metal buckle was found
in the heart OF a walnut tree that
was mora than eighteen inches In dia.
meter. The walnut was sound and
the metal buckle was surrounded by
live wood. 1t was almost In the cen.
ter Of the tree.

SLAYER IS HANGED; FEIGNS
DEATH; ESCAPES.
After Forty-eight Years Man
Thought to Have Been Execut-
ed is Discovered to Be a
Prosperous Colorado Miner.

A murderer who was supposed to
have been hanged in West Virginia
iorty.eight years ago, but who simu-
lated death and escaped, is said to
have been located In Colorado, where
he is prosperous mine owner.
A detective who arrived In Denver
from Parkersburg, Va, expects to re.
turn in a few days with Baxter Pate,
who will be taken back to bis old
home to expiate crime for which he
was supposed to have paid the death
penalty almost hall a century ago.
In a room In the Central Hotel OF
Petersburg in 1858 Baxter Pate,
alias Mcdaniel Rhea, killed John Lit,
trell, one of his young friends, in a
quarrel over a game OF cards.
After several months the murderer
was apprehended in North Carolina
at his cid home, and was brought
back to the scene OF the murder,
where he was supposed to have been
executed. His body, Immediately,
after his hanging, was turned over to
his brothers, who we're rich men and
who expressed a desire to bury the
body near their boyhood home In
North Carolina.
Recently Elys Lawton, who has
been employed in a Colorado mine
by Baxter Pate, went east and heard
an account OF the murder OF Littrel
by Baxter Pate. The name elsctri
fed him, for he had always believed
the murderer to be Mcdaniel Rhea.
Instantly he recalled a confidential
talk with his employer, whom, h,
says, confessed to killing one OF bill
closest friends over card game il
bis youth. He also recalled the clev
er ruse by which Pate had escaped
punishment. A small steel frame wal
clandestinely carried to Pate by bill
brothers a few days before the time
set for the hanging and with thi,
worn under his clothing be was saved
from strangulation. He simulated
death and his body was given to hil
brothers without word orquestion
Supplied with money by his brothers
he soon found a refuge in the ial
west, where he has prospered beyont
his fondest hopes.
