Body Of Murdered Man Found
In the Woods Near Tahsheek

Amid the festivities of the Christ
mas holidays, when all the world IL
supposed to be joined in the peace
full occupation Of gift-giving and
friendly gathering, horrible crime
was being committed In the fiat
woods between Bush and Taiisheek.
The inhuman murderer, responsible
for this deed could not have chosen
a place more remote from habitati0n
or likelihood Of Interruption, and 1t
was by the merest chance that the
body was discovered by Luke ALI
son Tuesday afternoon.
While there Is no way of know
ing at just what time the murder
was committed, the coroner gave 1t
as his opinion that the body had lain
there at least ten days, and this
statement was strengthened by the
fact that the clothing worn by the
murdered man had been scorched by
the fire that passed over the woods
the day before Christmas.
Sheriff, Brewster accompanied Cor
oner Heintz to the place where the
body was lying Tuesday night. Long
stretches of water and mud had to
be waded through to reach it, and
q grewsome sight was presented In
the fickering light Of the lanterns
The body was lying face downward
with the hands under It. 1t was
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1916-01-08

clothed in two blue cotton shirts and
two pairs Of drawers. There were
no pantaloons and no shoes on the
feet. When the body was turned
over the flesh was shown to be rot
ted from the face. There was hole
in the forehead and another in the
Side Of the abdomen. Evidently
both were made by bullets.
1t is surmised that the man was
shot by some one who took his
pantaloons. shoes and hat and what
ever of value he had on his person,
but thus far 1t cannot be ascertain
ed that any one is missing and no
one has been found who could identi-
fy the body. Sheriff Brewster and
Coroner Heintz will carry the inves-
tigation to its limit and something
may be learned later that will lead
to the detection of the murderer.
1t Is believed that all concerned were
strangers to this section.
Any one who can give any infor-
nation leading to the identity of the
murdered man is requested to COM
municate with Sheriff Brewster. The
man was about feet 10 inches tall,
sandy hair. probably so years of
age, wore an Odd Fellows button.
Eye glasses and pencil all that was
found in his pockets. Wore tan
socks and brown striped coat.

was recognized as one OF the experts
0f his day, and even In later years
he was more at home ON the water
than ON the land.
OF late years the Captain was a

recall the incident, as is described
in the following clipping from the
Times-Picayune:
Twenty-Five years ago Chief White

life of Morris Nielsen, Captain Of
the Anti-Horse Thieves Association,
in Montana, finding the latter when

working Of fate he came in contact
with Mr.. Nielsen, who made arrange
ments for his board ond lodging un-
til he could find means of making
living. Mr.. Nielsen was away from
New Orleans for several weeks and
returned here to find Chief White
Eagle in the hospital. But the chief

Captain Nielsen was in New Or

evening at the Greenwall Cafe with

of his own doings in chasing horse

In the early COS, Nielsen was cap

his death will be sad news. Mr.
Linton was living with his parents
