Frank Body With Bullets Wliat appears to have been a brutal murder with robbery or tlie evening up of a grudge as tlie motive was brought to light yesterday morning when Cady Harry Denham Eaton and Mart Brown hunting varmints with hounds suddenly came upon the partially decomposed body of a man later identified as Frank Mozen a rancher lying 300 feet north of his cabin and 30 feet east of a trail one mile south of Summit a station on the old Puyallup line of tlie Tacoma Railway St Power company Tlie brutal murder took place In tlie quiet of tlie woods some days ago judging from tlie condition of the body That it was as late rs four days ago seems apparent from the fact that Burke a neighboring rancher told Coroner Shaver yesterday morning that lit heard fouu shots fired In quick succra- sion four days ago the reports coining from tlie direction of acres Officers Have Slight The case Is completely shrouded in mystery save for one clue that Deputy Sheriffs Peter Stenso and Thomas Desmond picked up after making a careful Investigation with the county coroner This thread of circumstantial evidence pointing to the probable guilt of the person suspected was withheld last nlglit In order to give tlie deputies a chance to work it out The murderer accomplished liis deadly work with a 38-caliber revolver Four bullet holes were found in body but only two of the bullets remained In the body An unexplodi'd cartridge with one of the exploded shells was found upon the ground near the body Tlie dead person bad been robbed of his watch and other valuables but contained some unimportant papers Bought to tho Bast That hj terrible resistance made by Mozen and that unarmed he fought off his murderer to the death there seems no doubt from tlie appearance of the -ground where the body lay A postmortem examination by Coroner Shaver and Dr Stewart showed that hut one of the bullets would have a fatal wound and that the murderer fired the fatal shot after hfs victim had fallen helpless to the ground pierced by three other bullets One of the bullets took effect in the back of left hand tore through the flesh" struck the thumb breaking It at the middle joint A second entered the left side of the head plowed through his scalp but did not enter his brain The third bullet entered near the right side of the nose and coursed downward througli the cheek The fatal shot was fired at such close range that ft powder- burned neck just under the ear' It passed througli Ills head from ear to ear severing the spinal column and lodged under the skin of the left cheek When tlie surgeons probed for the bullets they found the one that lodged in the cheek and the second was found In the muscles of the right arm It Is believed that this bullet flrst struck Mozer In the left hand then In the chest and coursed through hte arm lodging In the muscles Evident) of Bobbery The robbery theory is supported says Coroner Shaver by the 1 finding of the door of the little cabin locked and in front of a cook stove a patented purse with the snap pried open and the contents stolen The murderer used an old ramrod that Mozen had in his cabin He cleaned his smoking! revolver with this ramrod and then broke It Into pieces and" threw it tn the stove Until the deputy sheriffs aided by the police detectives can begin tlie unraveling of the mystery surrounding Lite deatu of Mozen tlie identity of the assassin and the manner In whlcn the murder was accomplished remain unsolved Mozen was a bachelor about 30 years of age a Russian by birth but had through dint of frugality and hard work purchased a 10-acre tract and built upon It a one-room siiack where he lived alone He cJme to Tacoma about two years ago and secured a position In tlie Northern Pacflc shops at South Tacoma Later he got work In the -camp of the Electric Logging company near Summit but for tlie past few years except for occasional temporary jobs he stuck to his land tilling it as a garden tract Body by Animals "When Cady and Denham led by their hounds came across the body It lay close to the beaten trail that leads from Summit to the logging camp The face and one hand had been partially eaten away by some carnivorous wild animal and the rest of tlie body began to show effects of natural decay Cady and Denham penned a note and lacked it to a tree stump notifying wayfarers of the presence of the body and that they had gone to communicate with Coroner Bhaver The coronet lost no time in getting to the scene of the murder He surveyed the ground about the body took notes -nf the position In which the body lay and noticed that hat lay 12 feet south of the dead feet wliile a handkerchief lay about 19 fee to the left and east of the hat The ground about the body had every appearance of having been tramped and a smalt bough of a tree had been broken In twain Whether It was broken in the death struggle that ensued between th- unarmed rancher and his assassin or whether Mozen grasped it as a weapon to use in fighting off hfs murderer close range must be left to conjecture say the coroner deputy sheriffs Anton Wlinor a fellow countryman and nearest friend to the murdered mai doubts that robbery was the motive Ho told the authorities that Mozen had lit- (Continued on Page Two) Admired His Grit and oarage 1 SPOKANE March 28 (Special) The Spokesman-Review will say editorially: 'Dentil
