He might have been anywhere between
thirty-five and forty-tive years of age. lie
had an intelligent forehead and a strong
straight nose, and was probably five feet,
six to eight inches tall. The Jury learned
that ne had asked permission TO lodge in
the stable the evening previous about o.
clock, and that nothing more of him was
seen till he was found dead on the NOW of
the stable between ii and IL O'Clock on
Saturday before noon by boy who climb

he had Come from Lewistown on Friday,
for about 5 O'Clock on Friday evening,
which was about two hours before he ask
ed permission to lodge In the stable, he had
asked for something to eat at Benjamin
Heller's, mile west of tho stable in the di-
rection of Lewistown. His clothing was
damp from moisture escaping from his body
or from dampness arising from the new hay
in the NOV, or from the rain OF the previous
night. His body was without bruises. The
jury could not find cause for his death.
VIM. T. Snyder, undertaken, was present
with coffin. The dead man was placed in
it and before the shades of night came down
he was in a grave in Union Cemetery, south
of this town. The evaporation from a body
OF new hay is dangerous and likely to tax Q
life if one lies down to sleep for period of
several hours on it while it is in q state
of fermentation, but it has not been
told, whether that, or other particular
cause took the life of the tramp that was
found dead on the hay NOW.
