Sherman, Texas, August 14.-At an
early hour this morning a forlorn,
tottering emaciated young man was
found by the police in Denison just
after the arrival of a train from the
Indian territory. He had in his pos
session a ticket from Atoka, l. T., to
Sherman.
He was very weak and apparently
in the last stages of consumption.
During the day he was placed on a
Sherman train and arrived at the Pc
can street depot in this city in a pc
culiar condition. He walked into the
mems sitting room, jerked off his hat,
threw it at a cuspidor, upon which he
sat down.
He finally lay down on the floor
and began acting SO peculiarly that
it attracted general attention. A ply
stefan came in to see him and was at
loss to know just what allied him;
he could not tell anything about him
self and a constant hacking cough
came whenever he tried to talk. He
could not have done so except with
the greatest difficulty.
All indications We're that the man
had been shipped into the city from
the Indian Territory in order to get
rid Of taking care of him and the au-
thorlties acting upon a recent order
refused to issue permit to the aims
house on the grounds that he was an
alien and that it was possible he
might have people here expecting him
who would show up.
The advice of the physician was TO
have some watch him and to admin
lister stimulants to him. Aldermen
McConville and Meyer looked after
these preliminaries and soon he was
on cot comfortably arranged with
a nurse watching him.
a reporter visited him during the
night and, after long and tedious ques-
tioning, ELECTED the following informal
ton in broken and almost incoherent
sentences:
"My grandmother in Missouri.
They made up my ticket at Alto
ka. 1 was working in Kimishi
with my father and brothers when 1
got sick. . Sent me away; didn't
want me; name is I. P. Wilson"
For awhile he revived and it looked
like he might be able to tell more
about himself, but each succeeding
attack of coughing left him weaker
and he died at two o'clock this morn
ing.
He was young man not over % to
% years of age, has a high, broad
forehead with light brown hair, in
clined to curl just the least bit. He
has dark blue eyes. His body had
