GREWS0ME FIND
AT SILVER CITY
Murdered Nan Found at
Bottom IF Old Mining
Shaft.

Silver City, Jan. g. Men eX-
ploring an old mining shaft in
the Central mining district dis
covered the decomposed body Of
a man lying in a drift off from
the bottom Of the shaft.
Upon close examination the
body was identified as that Of a
miner named Charles Engle, who
disappeared from Central and
that locality about five or six
months ago. The body was de-
composed to a considerable cX-
ten. and it was almost impos-
sible to make any accurate cX-
animation, but it was the opin-
ion that the mans head had
been crushed in and his throat
cut from ear to ear.
The dead man came TO this
section the early part Of last
year from Bisleo.
