Rodger, Peter

A badly decomposed corpse was recently found in an abandoned coal shaft at Houtzdale. John Whitehead, a Huntingdon coal operator, and several employees were inspecting the place when they came across the remains. The latter could not be identified, but it is supposed that the body is that of a miner named Peter Roger, who borrowed a revolver several months ago and disappeared.
