a small jack oak tree and
rope to it's top. He
pulled the top of the tree down that
it might act as spring, placed the
moose in the other end of the rope
around his neck and let go. While
the spring was not strong enough
to raise the body from the ground
there was sufficient force to do the
business. The body was found on
Friday by A. j. Fenton, mail carrier
on R. R. No. 2, from Beldenville,
whose attention was attracted by
the offensive odor. The deceased
was about IS years of age. He APP
peared to be in his usual cheerful
mood when last seen, and no motive
for the rash act can be conjectured.
He was widower and lived alone
in the house on his farm. He leaves
a number of children, all of whom
have attained their majority and
live in different sections Of the
county.
