Body Found in Quarry

Mysterious Death of a West Rutland Man Saturday Night

The body of Patrick McGarry was found yesterday morning abut 10 O'clock in the new

opening of the Albertson Quarry, about one and one-half miles north of West

Rutland, with a gash five inches long at the back of his head.

Considerable mystery surrounds the affair, as the death must have occurred into

Saturday night and no explanation can be given as to what the man was

doing near the quarry at that hour.  Suicide and even foul play have been

suggested, but it is generally believed to have been an accident.

Mr. McGarry was in this city Saturday night and returned to West

Rutland on the electric car, leaving the Merchants row switch at 10 o'clock  Upon

reaching West Rutland, he went into J. B. Gibson's barber shop

and got shaved.  He seemed to be alright at that time.
