Our Bright correspondent writes Information was received on Saturday night by Senior-constable Priest to the effect that a man named Edwin Arthur Collins was missing from his home at Smoko. Collins, it appears, lived in a tent alone and was seen for the last time on Thursday afternoon. SeniorConstable Priest enlisted the services of Constables O'Halloran (Bright) and Kelly (Harrietville), and. with a party, of willing hands all Sunday was spent in scouring the bush, and when darkness set in the search was adjourned until Monday morning. With the constables mentioned at the head of affairs, the search was continued early on Monday morning, and shortly .after operations began the lifeless, body of Collins was discovered head downwards some little distance from his tent. It appears as if Collins fell on his way home, and subsequently died of exposure. Collins, who is said to be about 55 years of age, is supposed to have sons residing at Yackandandah. The Deputy Coroner (Mr H. H. Manning, J.P.) on Monday conducted an enquiry, and after medical and other evidence had been tendered a verdict of death from natural causes accelerated b3r exposure was given.[3]
