 Last Friday while hunting, Michael and Andy Wytas found the badly deoomposed body of man about 100 feet from the highway near the junction of the roads north of the reservoir. Dr. Bard was notified and he made aD examination of the body before it was removed to the Baker undertaking rooms. Up to this time it has not been possible to identify the body. The man had probably been dead about three months and the only clothing he had on was a porous knit undershirt, a blue sweater and a blue jumper. He was without hat, underdrawers, pants, shoes or stockings and evidently was about 30 or 60 years old. He probably weighed about 15O or 16O pounds and was 5 feet and inches in height. A little of the hair that was left on the skull was black with streaks of gray. The legs were scratched as if he had wandered through the woods. It is thought that he may have been de mented and escaped from some in' stitution. Dr. Bard and Selectmar Preble made another thorough ex' animation of the hody before it wal buried at Stafford Str eet on Saturday and could not find any evidence o1 foul play.
