CusKing's Body Found The body of Alden T? Cashing, the Hotel Gates guest who had been missing for several weeks, was found last Sun- , day morning, at II o'clock, in Laurel . Park, near Crystal Springs. It was dis covered by Southern Garren, one of the many hunting for Mr. Cushingand to whom the reward of $100 has been paid. " The coroner's jury brought in a ver- . diet of death from unknown causes. On the body were found a revolver, with all the chambers loaded, a small sum of -money, and a few personal effects. Near -it was found a small bottle of some dark colored fluid. ' : : , , The body was found face downward, with one hand over its mouth, the cloth- . ing was somewhat disarranged, and Cashing had evidently suffered much pain before death came. The body was round some distance - from where he had evidently fallen, and Mr. Garren found it ahout thirty yards . from the road. It was purely accidental. the discovery, or the body, as Laurel Part has been searched by many people previous. .' - , M. M. Shepherd sent their dead wag on for the body after the coroner's jury" had viewed it. It was embalmed by Thomas Shepherd andsent to Lancaster, ri. Y., on Monday, by the noon train, in an 'expensive metallic casket, and was ' accompanied by Henry A. Dann, who had been proseevting the seorch for his ' dead brother-in-law.
