DISCOVERED BY BOYS.
Skeleton of Man, Lying Face Down.
 ward. Found in Woods.

Hartford, Oct 10.-Evidence of an untold tragedy, the full story of which may never be revealed, were discovered this week in the woods about four miles west of Station A in the town of Windsor, when War. ner Bilgenroth of No 36 Trumbull street, and Robert Barber of Wind- sor, an employee of the Travellers In- surance company, found the skeleton of a hunter, clad in his hunting clothes, lying face downward by the bed of a dried-up brook. The bones were fleshless, the clothing fast de- caying, and no paper or other means of direct identification could be found. Apparently the man had died year or more ago.
 It was Tuesday afternoon when the young men found the skeleton They had made a good shoot and late in the day were working their way homeward through the dense underbrush looking for squirrels or birds, when they found the body Scarce stopping for more than a hasty investigation they hurried in- to Hartford and told Bilgenroths father, Carl T. Bilgenroth, about it. He told them to go to the po- lice station. which they did, but were informed there that the mat ter is outside the Jurisdiction of the Hartford police, and that the Wind sor authorities should be notified. It was too late to do this Tuesday and the boys waited until Wednesday af- ternoon.
 Thursday Medical Examiner Dr Newton Bell went out and made a thorough examination. It was the body of a man of medium size, but what the age might have been cannot be told. The man lay face downward and underneath him were a number of gun cartridges. A hunting coat, a felt hat purchased of the A. L.. Foster company and a pair of good high hunting boots constituted his clothing. No papers were found that would lead to Identification. In the pockets of the clothes were found a key chain with four keys attached. double bladed ivory ham, dled penknife, pocketbook with 84 cents in change and a plated ring without initials or other mark of ownership.
 Strange enough, there was no gun with the body. as one would naturSl- ly believe. and this fact leads to the belief that crime might have been committed. notwithstanding there was nothing about the skeleton to indicate probable wounds. The skull showed no evidence of a blow hay ing been struck. nor did the bones of the body reveal anything of this na- ture or lead to a suspicion that the unknown hunter might have been shot.
 The skeleton and clothing were buried yesterday morning by Under taker William s. Leek of Windsor.

WE DID THINK.

at one time we'd buy an automobile % that we could deliver our tea. coffee and butter right away quick. But since we see that fire auto" go through our streets we have changed our mind. Of course we wouldn't have to go as quick as our fire chief, but if the "gosh blame" thing got going and our ad man couldn't stop 1t there would be something doing If 1t struck a telegraph pole. And, say, If one or two of the tires should burst on that fire auto some day, we will all b, telling each other what good fellow the chief was and it's too bad, etc: but won't it be terrible if that screeching noise that's made by the fire auto should frighten two or three people to death? They should be compelled to use fire bell and cut out that screeching nuisance. Say, 8 man in our store the other day said he'd rather carry the "hod" than ride with the fire chief to fire, and that reminded us we had whole lot of "hods," that is coal "hods." and this week we give "hod" with each pound of our warranted good Baking Powder, 45c per pound. We still give a clothes rack with each pound of our nice tasting 5O-cent Tea at

WED ON THE ATLANTIC.
Immigration Law Unearths Series
 of Romances.


 New York. Oct l0.-The White Star liner Majestic. which arrived from Southampton late on Wednes- day was the scene of triple wedding A curious feature of the ceremony was that the three brides never met until they boarded the Majestic. and the three bridegrooms had never heard of each other until they met in the saloon of the liner on Wednesday. Among the second cabin passen- gers were three young English girls, each of whom told the immigration officials that they had come here to marry. They were Miss Alice l.. Os- borne of Norwich, who was betroth- ed to Walter w. Smith. formerly of London, but now the New York rep- resentative of 'an English machinery firm: Miss Mildred Hand of Bourne mouth, England, who was to wed Ernest Dower, who used to live In Fordham Bridge, England but is now a clerk for the Interborough rail- road, and Miss Rose Jane Webb of Portsmouth, England. who as the wife of Enc Deason will live in Cleve- land O.
 It had been the intention of MT Smith and Miss Osborne to marry at the home of the former has estab- lished at 502 West One Hundred and Seventy-Second street, but when he learned that the government exercis- ed a care over young women landing here he consented to be married in the saloon of the Majestic. The sit- uation was explained to the other two men and they agreed to be mar ried on board. So the ships officers and the stewards being interested in the triple event, set out to prepare a celebration.
 It was necessary before the cere- mony to make a trip to the license bureau at the City hall, and so the happy couples were taken there un- der the chaperonage of Mrs Walters, the Ellis Island matron.
 The three were married by the Rev Jacob Price of the Washington Heights Methodist Episcopal church.
 Purser Edwards gave the brides in marriage, and after the ceremony the party sat down to a wedding break fast which had been spread in the saloon. After it was over the three couples made tour of the city in a sight seeing automobile. They also agreed that they would form them selves into Majestic club with the object of holding a reunion once a year.
 To an inquirer who sought their stories Miss Osborne said that she first met MT Smith at Yarmouth, England, and fell in love with him because of his rowing. Miss Webb said that she met MT Deason while visiting her sister and Miss Hand said that she met MT Dover so long ago that really she had forgotten just how it all happened.
