Woot Grand Haven, Mich., Oct. 19.—In 1839 a hunter and trapper, known as Si Handsome Smugglers, suddenly disappeared from this vicinity. His rifle was found in the woods and pear it his hunting-knife, covered with blood. Gossip began to asso- ciate a young log-chopper, named Chester Wood, with the supposed murder. Even on the theory of murder there was not a particle of evidence againet Wood, but idle and malicious talk in the lumber camps set the lumbermen nearly wild, and some one had to be killed. They hung Chester Wood in spite of his solemn protests, to a tree, which is still standing in the township of Robinson. His body was buried on the top of a hill near the tree, eighteen years age the bones turned over by a while§grading for and were gang of laborers Wood's sweet heart became insane and soon died. His aged father is supposed to havefstarved to death. railroad. These in- cidents have something more than mewory and tradition to attest to their accuracy. On Saturday last a man about 90 years old, accompa- nied by his son, passed through Grand Haven on their way to visit another son in the far west. Before taking a steamer, he stated to a cits- zeu there that about 50 years ago he wasa hunter near Grand Hayen, and was known only as handsome smugglers. The citizen knew some- thing of the Chester Wood hanging and told the story to the aged man, who shed tears at the recital. He was reared on a farm within a few niles of Boston. A quarrel with his brother drove him West, and he supported himself by hurting and trapping inthis country. He never gave his real name here and shunned society. One day he went to Grand rapids to sell furs and received a let- ter saying tbat his brother was dead. Without returning to his shanty or leaving any word he started for the East, and has ever since lived on the farm of his boyhood. He never learned what become of his shanty in the woods, and he can not explain bow his rifle and knife found their way into the woods.
