TAKING A son HOME TO DIE.
Horrible Condition of c. H. Dunlap as a
Result of Cold and Exposure.

In a corner of the waiting-room at the Union
Depot last night man lay stretched cot
motionless as if dead, and a stencil arose from
his person which caused those who came near
to instinctively clasp the nose to shut out the
siekening odor Beside the cot sat gray bearded
man, watching his charge with a.
tired expression. The man lying on the
cot was G. H. Dunlap, who was found in Jasper
county, Illinois, on Sunday, the 9Th instant, in
badly frozen condition, having been exposed to
the extreme cold during all the night previous,
when the thermometer was down to 24o below
zero. He had left his boarding house, on Satur-
day evening with the intention of returning
soon, but the night passed without his
making his appearance, and the next day
searching party was sent out to
find him. He was found mile from the place
where he lived, lying his hands and knees,
frozen almost stiff and unconscious Between
$500 and $500 which he is supposed to have had
in his possession when he left his boarding house
was missing, and there is a suspicion that he
had been drugged and after being robbed of all the
money on his person. had been left to perish in the
cold: His home was at Peru, in this State, where
his father lives, but for the last nine years he
had been engaged in the lumber business in
Jasper county. At no time since he found
has he been conscious long enough to tell any
thing about the circumstances of his horrible ex-
pelience The old man who sat beside the suf-
ferer at the Union Depot last night was his
father, who has been constantly by the
side of his son since receiving the news of his
condition, which was not until week after he
had been found. The dying man was being
taken to his home at Peru, and was compelled
to lie at the Union Depot, last night. from
o'clock until after II, awaiting the departure of
the Wabash train. His condition is sickening to
behold. The whole body is badly swollen. The
haCf aplt oil foil 11nfft loft and
the bones of the fingers are bare.
Mr.. Dunlap, the father of the sufferer. speaks
bitterly of the inhumanity of the people where
his son lived, and says that although a week had
nothing whatever had been done for him during
that time.
