OF scaling a wall 16 feet in height the
boy has never been allowed to roam
at liberty within the stockade. To his
waist has been fastened the middle
OF a chain, made Of heavy cast Iron.
the ends of which are fastened to a
ball weighing So or 60 pounds.
The attention Of the police was
called to the treatment of the boy by
those living in the neighborhood, who
told Capt. Clancy that the cries OF the
child could be heard in the adjoining
houses. although, on account OF the
high wall 1t was impossible to see
what was heing done with him.
Mamie Ryan, nextdoor neighbor.
told the officers that on one OF the
hottest days this summer her curios'
ity prompted her TO look through
chink in the wall.
She saw the little boy lying appar-
emily overcome by the heat on the top
of the clubhouse. The ball and chain
we're attached to his waist, and for
more than half an hour he lay without
shifting his position.
Then his father came from the
house with a pail of water In his hand.
He threw the contents over the pros
trate boy and. without waiting to see
whether he recovered or not. returned
to the house.
The police have learned that, In
addition to using the stockade for the
purpose OF infiicting punishment on
his son. Boesrup each week conducted
services within its walls. On Sunday
mornings and at other times the fam
lily would be brought out, and Boesrup,
mounting soap box. would explain
the tenets OF his faith.
During these dissertations his con
gregation consisted of his son, his
daughter and his wife. all Of whom
were compelled to kneel on the ground
while the service was In progress.
Mrs. Boesrup and the daughter
Helen. II years old. would not tell the
police the nature OF these services.
The boy is too young to understand
the full import OF the incantations ut
tered by his father. but stated to Capt
Clancy that frequent reference wa,
made to the sun. and that his father
on many occasions talked with the
greatest reverence OF the power o

near Barren Fork creek.
There Catron was laid upon his bed
and efforts we're made to restore him
to consciousness, but to no avail, and
he was given up for dead.
All the next day he lay stark and
cold and It was decided to bury him

All OF this was In itself surprising
to his neighbors. already mystified by
his return from what was supposed by
them to be death, but their surprise
was even greater when Catron in.
formed them that he had really been
dead. had seen both heaven and hell
and the position to be occupied in the

black races.
His future on earth, he indicated

born March ii, 1910. His old home
stead was located in the corner of the
county, and it is said that as a boy he
took some pleasure in stretching him
self out on the grass in the corner In
a manner that he could be in four
counties at one time When a young
man he entered Upper Iowa univer-
sity where he was attending school
when the war broke out. He went to
the front at the head of company or
students and distinguished himself on
the battlefield, receiving promotions IN
til he earned the title he bore. He was
at Corinth. Shiloh and Antietam, re-
ceiving the wound at Corinth, from
which he suffered the remainder of
his life, and which compelled him to
wear an artificial limb.
Goes to Dubuque.
After the war he was admitted to the
bar and practiced law in Dubuque for
a. time He was made revenue col
lector and early in the sos was elect
ed to congress, where he was kept by
the people of the Third district until
ne voluntarily declined the nomination
that had been rendered him by unani
nous vote in 1902.
Until the burdens of the speakerShip
came upon him he kept very close TO
his constituents. After that he met
little with his people and had post
office troubles that developed into a
storm, two of the republican papers of
the district threatening TO bolt the
ticket. 1t was in the face of this that
he declined the nomination after the
campaign was fairly well started.
Some say it was the dread of person
al campaign that was the cause of his
sudden action, but others now believe
that he was aware of the mental weak
ness that was overtaking him and
knew he would not be able to stand
the strain If any of his close friends
know the real cause they kept it to
themselves, and if they did not, the Sc
cret was carried to eternity with Col.
Henderson. The reason given was
that he could not stand on the Iowa
platform, and later he said in an inter-
view. Let the new lights shine" the
lights referred to being the revision
lists under the leadership OF Gov Cum
Minis. The reason given was never
accepted by his people as the real one,
for never in his long career had he
ever wavered on a republican plat
form, whatever it might have been.
