Death AT the Hospital.

During the latter part Of Decem-
ber a party Of several miners left
Eagle City for Heron, and on reach
ing the summit of the mountains
one Of the party, whose name was
Hall, thinking he knew of a more
direct route. than his comrades,
struck out alone, without a.particle of
food and against the advice Of the
other members Of the party. When
Heron was Preached by the party it
was learned that Hall had not ar
rived, and after waiting in vain sew
eral days in the belief that he would
come, or be heard from at some point
on the railroad, several men started
back to look for the missing man.
After diligent search they came
across Hall, who was lying in the
snow in a famishing condition.
Hungry and weary, he could travel
no longer, and had lain down to rest.
He had lost his way and been with
out food for more than Il week, and
was found lying on his back and
frozen to the ice underneath. The
man was conveyed to Heron, where
he was kept'a day or two, and then
brought here to the county hospital.
The hunger and exposure which he
had experienced led to pneumonia,
and the patient breathed his last on
Monday night. From the time Of
his arrival here until his death he
was not able to give a clear account of
the affair, his reason having been par
TALLY dethrOned. From his physical
candition, DIR. Hedger states that he
must have been without food at least
a week. His back and feet were
frozen while lying in the snow.
Hall claimed to belong to an odd
Fellows lodge in Springfield, ILL.,,
but a telegram brought the response
that he was not known there. He
was about thirty-five years of age
