WOMAN FOVND DEAD.
Indications Tliat Death May Ilnve
Been Not Natural.
Oregon City, Nov. 12. News was
received here early this morning of
the discovery of the dead body ,of
Mrs. Peter Brown In her home five
miles south of Molalla.
Brown had been absent from home
for about two months, returning yes
terday evening. On entering the
house he was horrified to find the
body of his wife lying on the floor In
an advanced singe of decomposition
and mutilated by the gnawing of rats
and other vermin. Blood stains on
the bed as well as the position of the
body on the floor, seem to Indicate
that death was not the result of natu
ral causes. The murderer, If It is
murder, left no clue to his identity,
and no motive can be assigned for
such a crime, although It has been
currently reported that the aged cou
ple kept considerable money on the
premises. They were both hard
working and spent but little of their
earnings.
Coroner Holman went to Molalla
this morning to investigate the case.
