Lynch, Neb., Feb. 23.-Special to

aged twenty-eight years, was found
near the Ponca creek, about fifty feet
from Main street, where he persisted
during the storm of February s.
This young man was missed after
the storm and parties have Deen

been overcome by the storm. The
young man came to town on Monday,
February s, and did his trading, send
ing out an express package, and after
ward became under the influence of
liquor. Refusing to be taken to the
hotel, he wandered around town, sew
eral of his friends trying to prevail
upon him to go to the livery barn or
hotel to escape the storm, but this he
refused to do. He was last seen about
II o'clock.
After the storm he could not be
found and it was feared he had perish

searching every conceivable place
wnere he might have gone, and failing
to find him, began to look in the
large drifts of snow in the directions
he was supposed to have travelled.
Yesterday, word was given that he
had been seen in the neighborhood of
the creek and party began the
search there, where he was found
dead, having frozen to death.
The remains were brought to the
