A man Frozen to Death-Another
Sensation Story.
At an early hour Oh Saturday morning, Cor
onef Schmidt received Information that the
body Of nlan had been discovered lying on
the Archer road, At a 1'oint about three miles
southwest Of The Bright ol, House, III the Town
/! detectives, he at once proceeded to the spot
I; for The purpose Of holding an inquest, and as

upon arriving AT 1ue piaee uaictt-
Of the man was Lewis J. Sherman, a
former resident Of Delaware county,
| n. T., but fur the past ten years residing i'll
| this colty. They were also informed that lhe
deceased had been the night before ut 4 disre-
putable house, which passed for grocery, a
tavern and 4 house Of pfostitutfon kept by
man BY thc name of Mccormick, and that he
had also been engaged in fight there, and

Upon arriving at McCormick's houst they
learned thae the deceased had had a fight with
man named Burke, and drops Of blood were
still visible on the floor; but witnesses testi-
fed that they had frequently seen much more
and dangerous roTs at the same place.
The Whole neighborhood seemed to be
under the influence Of intoxication, and some
Of the persons Summoned upon the Coroner's
jury were loo drunk to give any ineligible
and satisfactory attention to the ease, until
II long to become sober. From the te:ti
mony in the case, it appears that Sherman fell
into a drunken stupor or sleep, as did the
. others in the room. Sherman left without
the knowledge of the other inmates, they be
ing asleep at the time. He must have left tht
some forty rods, when he fell down, and be
l ing still TOO much Intoxicated to walk, wa
!, frozen to death. This is evident from tn
