While walking thro a patch of woods | last Friday morning near Lantzy’s| Mills, in Elder township,Joseph Lantzy was horrified to discover the dead body of a young man, apparently asleep, | with his coat placed under his head for {a pillow. | Investigation proved that the body was that of Herbert Kilday,the 18-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Kilday, of Susquehanna township. Young Kil- day had departed from his home Thurs- {day afternoon, taking with him his gun, evidently expecting to go off into the woods a short distance in quest of game. His parents felt greatly dis- [turbed when he did not return that night, but thought he had decided to They were not aware that anything serious had befallen him until apprised of the finding of the body by Mr. Lantzy. District Attorney Leech directed that an investigation be conducted, since it was thought by some that the lad might have met with foul play. Dep- uty Coroner McMillen, of Barnesboro, found the leaves and ground saturated with blood near where the body lay, and further investigation revealed the finding of a hunting knife on the young man’s person. An artery in the boy’s arm had been severed and resulted in his death.
