Salem. Ark.-Torn from his brides

While he made his rather unpieas-

MAN sTUNG TO HIS DEATH
Mosquitoes Attacked His Nude Body
a. 1t Lay In an Island
Swamp.

New Orleans.-The wreaking OF ter
rible vengeance upon foe is believed
to have been the cause of the death
of white man whose body was found
in the swamps of White Grass island.
In the Gulf OF Mexico. The hands and
feet were bound by cords to stake
driven into the earth. The man had
been dead for over a week. Hunters
say that in his nude condition he must
have been stung to death within few
hours.
The police believe that the man was
the victim OF revenge. That part OF
the swamp where the body was found
Is alive with unusually large mosqui-
toes. and hunters who go there for
ducks must mufie their faces and en-
case their hands In heavy mittens to
protect themselves
The authorities, convinced that the
man was a victim OF revenge. have set
about trying to solve the mystery. and
that, because Of the exquisite torture
and extreme cruelty to which the VIC
time must have been subjected. there
must have been a woman concerned
in the mysterious death
