FREEZING IN A PARK.
A COlOred Woman Found Half. Dead on
an Iowa Circle Settee.

There was on one of the settees in Iowa park
circle last night the form of half-frozen and
poorly clad colored woman. Many persons
passed within few feet of the motionless form,
but paid no attention to it. Why the woman
was there or what time she arrived there no
one knows. She was apparently twenty five or
thirty years old This morning sometime after
daybreak citizen passing by found the woman
still there. There was an icicle hanging from
her face. She was SO nearly frozen to death
that she was unconscious and unable to
speak. She was picked up by citizens and
taken into house, where she was placed near
a stove to thaw out The police were notified
and the woman was taken to Freedman's hos
pital by Policemen Taylor and Heide. When
she arrived at the hospital she was still uncon-
scious and the physicians had but little hopes
for her recovery. No one appeared at the
hospital to identify the woman nor has she
been reported by her friends. if she has
any, as being missing How she came to spend
such a cold night in the park is not known but
the police think that she either had no home
or else she was waiting in the park for
some one, fell asleep and became unconscious
from exposure.
