cliff to eat their dinner SAW FOOT PROTRUDING I waa James Ward who first noticed what had tho appqarance of the mouth of a small cave walled In with rocks Little attention was paid to the discovery dis-covery at first but after others of the party had discovered n pair of shoes lying n few foot to one side of the heap o rocks It was decided to tear the pile away to see if I n mystery or anything any-thing of value might 10 disclosed As young Ward pulled aside tho uppermost upper-most rock he gayo n gasp oC horror I and sprang back I I was the flight of the foot of a human being that caused

of l the horrible gash In the Jieclt was made WRAPPED WITH ROPE About the lower limbs of the rigid form wn coiled I piece of thin rope about twenty feet In length and this rope was aloo colled about tho right forearm but it was not tied at any point The presence of this rope and its utility hUE not yet bceh solved and the theory thus far advanced by the police Is that It was placed there by Collins himself in order to give the Colns Jn Gve H I i A 1 fl fli i II I r Clyde Felt Impression that ho had met with foul play The rope was tightly coiled leaving imprints In the flesh yet it would have been possible the doctors wound the say for the man to have hemp about his own body BUTCHER KNIFE FOUND Officer Gillesple sent a boy to summon sum-mon Acting Coroner IXlclsen and other policemen and then began a search of the vicinity leaving the body lying on a heap of rocks The most important Import-ant discovery was that made by a boy of a rusty butcher knife lying on ash a-sh lf in the rocks thirty feet above and In a northeasterly direction from the cave The blade of the knife was partially par-tially Imbedded In the disintegrated rock au If I It had been hurled there striking

moist-ure The edge was as sharp as 0 razor and bore evidence of having been lately late-ly sharpened I was Identified later ax belonging to Collins n number of persona claiming to have seen It In his abode at the Wasatka Bottling works during the past month Whether Wheth-er this Is the weapon which caupod the death of the old man has not c been determined I Is held that It would not have been possible for Collins Col-lins to have cut his own throat and then cast the knife to the point where It was fount ns 0 shoulder of rock fully ten feet In height Intervenes I the unfortunate man took his own life the police are confident another weapon weap-on > will be found Inside the narrow cave which has not yet been thoroughly thor-oughly explored A razor which Col llns had In his possession previous to his disappearance Is missing and It Isvtho belief of the officers that this razor may be found In the cave when searched today I that cavity is thoroughly day MYSTERIOUS STAKES Alongside the body were found three sharpened stakes eighteen Inches In length and fashioned out of hard wood a copy of n New York paper of recent I date three handkerchiefs and a magazine maga-zine The use to which these stakes milit have been put Is yet 3 matter of theory the police believing that Collins Col-lins might have Intended staking 00 n mining claim although so far as known he had announced no such intention In-tention The paper is recognized by I young Felt a that which was wrapped about the unknovn articles which Collins I Col-lins carried in the outer pocket of his overcoat the day of tho strange journey jour-ney to the summit of Ensign peak A spectacle case from which the spectacles spec-tacles were missing thc rusty hatohct borrowed from Mrs Felt and tho dead mans small leather pocketbook were also found nearby The pocketbook contained nothing of ole and bore no evidences of having been rifled I was recognized later by the Felt boy as the same which Collins extracted a 25cent piece to pay him for carrying the valise up Ensign peak CLOTHES ARE MISSING A search of adjoining ravines and hills failed to reveal any trace of the clothing or underclothing of tho dead man or of the valise which young Felt says he carried up Ensign peak Monday day The disposition made of the clothing will be investigated by the police po-lice today and the locality will be carefully gone over I Is held by the officers that the old man may have cached or burned his effects to prevent pre-vent identification If he died by his own hand and wished to conceal that fact As his clothing was of Inferior material and badly worn It Is held by the officers that robbers would not have disturbed it A searching party will begin looking for the clothing and other missing effects at daybreak
