A human skeleton was found in the woods about two and a half miles from Pittsville on Monday. District Attorney Roberts and others investigated and concluded the remains likely belong to Albert Hind, missing from a local logging camp about twenty years earlier, with Hind said to suffer epileptic episodes and wanderers who left camp during a cold night. Evidence from a camp cook and missing dates support the theory, though bones are largely decomposed and no conclusive proof remains.
