Prisoner is Corpse

Mt Pleasant, Feb. Sitting bolt
upright, but cold in death, man was
driven through the streets of Mt.

who themselves were ignorant that
one Of their number was a corpse.
Nate Thompson of Winfield and
Ben Nicholson of Marion townships
were the men who made the grew
some journey and Henry Sellers Of
Poweshiek county and an escaped pa
tient at the hospital, was the corpse.
Sellers was being returned to the
hospital an dhad died from thirty-six
hours of exposure before being discov-
cred. He had been wrapped up to
keep him warm and had died so easily
that his death was not discovered un-
til an attempt was made to take him

and a sort of trusty. He wandered
away from the asylum about supper
time Monday evening. Where he spent
that cold night and the next day and
the first half of Tuesday night is not
known, but he evidently wandered
north, for about 1 o'clock yesterday
morning Ben Nicholson who lives nine
miles north was awakened by a crash
of glass.

Nicholson arose and found that the
old man had gotten into the house
and in grooping his way about the
kitchen had pulled the table cloth and
the dishes off the table onto himself
He was found partly under the table
and rather dazed. The old man was
gotten up and 1t was found that he
was patient from the hospital A
fire was started and everything done
to warm the old man. He declined to
eat and was able to walk

| On account of the fact that Nichol
son was to be away yesterday it was
determined to bring Sellers to the hos
pital as soon as he was warm. A sur
rey was gotten ready and Nicholson
and Nate Thompson of Winfield start
ed to town with Sellers, who was care
fully wrapped up in quilts and blan
kets. The old man was cheerful and
talked in harmless way until part
way here when he seemed to grow
drowsy. The last thing he said was

sitting upright. On reaching the asy
lum 1t was found he was dead
