Unidentified Body of Young Traveler Found by Faithful Hound Near Small Alpine Village—White Mantle His Snowy Shroud
ST. BERNARD, Sept. 12.—Early this morning a dog belonging to the St. Bernard Monastery discovered the body of a young man, half buried in the snow.
In his hand was clutched a flag with the word "Excelsior" printed on it.
It is thought that he passed through the village last night, bearing the banner, and that a young woman had offered him shelter, which he refused, having answered "Excelsior."
The police are working on the case.
