MYSTERY GROWS DEEPER.

Year Ado Is Found

Skeleton of Man Who Disappeared a
Year Ago Is Found.
The mysterious disappearance OF
Fred Peterson of Two Harbors yea1
ago has been cleared, 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
ii the woods between the Split Rock
and the Gooseberry rivers and from
some articles found in the clothing il
IS believed that the disappearance OF
Peterson has been solved. The rife
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?
