Mystery Cleared Up.


Duluth-The mysterious disappear
ance of Fred Peterson of Two Harbors
year ago has been cleared up, but
just how he came to his death may
never be known.
The skeleton of a man lying beside
the skeleton of buck deer was
found in the woods between the Split
Rock and the Gooseberry rivers, and
from some articles found in the cloth
ing it is believed that the disappear
ance of Peterson has been solved. The
rifle that Peterson carried has also
been identified. The weapon lay near
the skeleton.
The mystery now is, How did Peter
son get killed? Had he killed the
deer and was he packing it out of
the woods, and was himself mistaken
for a deer and shot? Did Peterson
wound the deer whose skeleton lay
on the ground, and did the animal
attack and kill him? The theory Of
people who have investigated the case
is that the buck, after being wounded,
had attacked and slain the hunter.
