Skinner, Mr. and Mrs.
Freeze To Death In August
Colorado Springs, Colo.-W.A. Skinner and wife of Dallas, Tex., were frozen to death near the summit of Pike's Peak. Their bodies, almost covered with snow, were found side by side by a boy walking down the peak. A pathetic feature of the deaths was the finding of a letter in Skinner's pocket, dated Dallas, August 17, from J.H. Choice, in which these words occurred: "I hope you are having the time of your life in Colorado. I am sending you an overcoat, as per your request. I hope you don't freeze to death on Pike's Peak." Mr. Skinner was clothed in light summer trousers, light underwear and low shoes. He wore no vest. His wife was clothed in a thin shirtwaist, a small shawl, a light skirt and thin underwear.
