GRUESONE
DISCOVERY
BODY HUNG IN SIGHT OF THE
ROAD FOR PROBABLY THREE
WEEKS.

C'arkSburg. Aug. 21.-The ghast-
~ spectacle OF a mans dead body
hanging to a tree met the ewes Of
y2ur~ C'c-'ca Rogers OF Broad Oaks
yesterday morning about nine o'clocl,
as he was passing along Buckhannon
street near Dublin bridge which
leads TO Broad Oaks.
TIL -,rgtch OF road lies between

Elk creek runs along below. but be-
tween the road and the creek a
thicket runs all the way from Main
street 20 the bridge. II was i'm this
thicFet about 20 feet below the
boar walk that young Rogers made
his gruesome discovery as he was
returning to Broad Oaks after max
ing his morning delivery of milk 70
customers in the city. The body was
almost concealed from view from
the street by bushes and perhaps
hundreds of persons have passed
along since il has been hanging there
Tor II was in a very advanced state
OF decomposition. The face was
turned black and almost covered
with shippers. The man hung sus-
pended by piece of new 3-S inch
rope from the limb of a small beech
tree. His coat and hat lay on the
ground beside him. pint whiskey
bottle lay near him His feet were
touching the ground and his knees
slightly bent.
The boy soon communicated his
discovery and in a short time a
large crowd had gathered about the
scene. The authorities were notified
and Deputy Sheriff John NJ Knox
together with William Osborne and
John Clifford of the CHford-Os-
borne undertaking establishment.
arrived and after viewing the hang
Ing body cut the rope. when the un-
dertakers took charge of the re-
mains and examined the clothing
No clue to the mans Identification
was found. The only things in the
pockets of his clothing were a new
pocketbook a key ring and three
new handkerchlefs.
The body is that OF a white man
about feet and inches tall, and
weighing about 1902 ounds. The
clothing was comparatively new and
indicated that the man had been
well dressed. From this description
II is thought by many that the body
IS that of an old plasterer who went
by the name OF Pat" and who was
last seen on last Friday i'm the vi
entity of where the tragedy was On
acted. At that time he was I'm com
pany with another well known char
acter in the city and both were in
toxicated. II is a clear case of sui
eide according to the belief Of all
who are familiar wit hthe circum-
stances.
The strongest contradiction to the
theory that IL is the old pIasterer's
body is the fact Of his advanced state
OF decay Many believe the man to
have hung there for a period Of two
or three weeks. Residents OF Broad
Oaks who pass along that way daily
say that they have noticed the odor
of decaying flesh there for that
length of time.

Not ell Made in A.A.U. Meets.
Although the above records are the
best on the books of the A. a. u.
there are four of them which were
not made in A. a. U. meets. These
are the 200 yards mark of 81 10 sec
onds which Wefers made In the in.

hurdle record OF Kracnzlcin also
made at the Intercollegiate, the year
being 1897; the broad jump mark of
Prinstcin made ut Penns relay carni-
val in 1900. and the pole vault mark
of w. Dray which was made in the
Yale-liarvard dual meet this spring.
AS though it were not enough glory
for the collegians to have exclusive
possession of four of Americas best
records. it might he added that seven
OF the remaining eleven records are
held and wero made by men then in

These include the 100 yard mark of

Jack cannot veal his pancake cap

The serviceable watch cap suits him

the rakish white hat OF the working
