Frozen Almost to Death.

A very pitiful case of freezing oc-
Cured on tho farm Of John Hersch-
mann, some twenty-six miles west of
this city, near Moscow, last Sunday
night. Monday morning MIR. II. went
to his straw stack to cut some feed,
and soon discovered mans legs pro-
jecting from hole near the bottom
of the stack-and he pulled the ap-
parently lifeless form of man from
the opening. He then carried the
stranger to his house, where restora-
tives and warmth soon brought the
man to consciousness. Doctor Bax-
ter, Of Wilton, was summoned and he
found the mans legs frozen hard from
the knees down, though the cold had
done no harm to the upper portion of
his body. Amputa,ion of both legs
was decided upon as a necessity for
the preservation of the mans life.
He told the doctor that his name was
Patrick Sullivan, that he left Wilton
for Moscow Saturday evening on foot,
took sick on the way and crawled in
to an opening in the straw stack to
rest. Being too unwell to move he
lay there until discovered, Monday
morning, his legs exposed to the keen
blasts and bitter cold of Sunday and
the night following. The Muscatine
Journal says that Sullivan had been
working for some time on q farm in
Sweetland township, and was tramp
ing from place TO place in search Of
an only sister, who he had heard lives
somewhere in Iowa, and whom he had
not seen since the war. He is about
thirty five years old and an 1rishman
