BEN McKIBBEN FOUND
DEAD in STRAW STACK
Body Was Discovered Tuesday
Afternoon On The Nash
Farm By Jensen And
Whittier.

Audubon was again surprised on
Tuesday afternoon by the report that
the body of a man was found lying dead
at a straw stack about a mile south of
town in a field at the south end of a
farm belonging to John A. Nash.
Coroner Harmon, accompanied by
Sheriff Crees and Deputy Sheriff Sun
berg hastened to the place where the
body lay and it was quickly identified
as that of Ben McKibben, not by his
features but by the loss of his legs
which had to be amputated year and
half ago. Decomposition had set in
to such an extent that nothing could be
done in the way of preparation for
burial except to put the remains in a
casket and bring them totown.
The body was discovered Tuesday
afternoon by Otto G. Jensen and Ludwig
WHITTIER, two young men who are
farming for Mr.. Nash, when they drove
out to the stack to get load of straw.
They didn't wait to load the straw but
returned and gave notice to the author
tiles. At the inquest held at the rooms
of the coroner Wednesday forenoon,
Messrs Lars Christoffersen, Bert John
son and Geo. Brady acted as a jury and
after hearing the evidence rendered a
verdict that the deceased had wandered
away from the County Home and came
to his death by causes unknown to
them. The testimony showed that he
had left the Home three weeks ago last
Saturday night. The distance from the
Home to the place the body was found
is mile or perhaps little more. The
condition of the body indicated that
death must have occurred soon after he
strayed away.
Ben McKibben was a man AZ years of
age, the son of George McKibben and a
brother of John McKibben who live
near Extra. Both of them were present
at the inquest yesterday morning. Ben
was kept at the County Home because
he was in a feeble minded condition.
A year ago last winter he had some
trouble at the Home and left there one
Saturday and went to the home of his
brother, John, where he staid over Sun
day. On Monday after helping to do
the chores, he strayed off again. His
nephews made a search for him that
afternoon but after tracking him some
distance failed to find him. He returned
there the next evening and remained.
A week later it was noticed that
Ills IeeU Wore SWOli6u anu uisCOiOrtu.
Physicians were summoned with
the result that because of freez.
ing both legs had to be amputated
about half way to the knees. Since
then he had walked about on his knees
which were encased in leather. Since
his disappearance three weeks age
Bumgardner Steward of the County
Home had looked for him and made
inquiries but he could learn nothing OF
his whereabouts. And so far as known,
he was not seen by anyone after he left
that Saturday evening. But the testi-
mony showed they had reason to think
he was in the building on Tuesday
night the following week.
The body was taken to Extra this
morning at 10 o'clock and inferred in
the cemetery at that place.

Sam Wilson, who owns a good farm
seven and half miles from town out
in Lincoln township, went out Tuesday
to fix up the corn crib. We do not con
slider this startling item of news, but
our readers will be surprised to hear
that this is the first time he has been
out there since harvest time a year ago.
If he had been a member of the City
council all this time we might perhaps
account for it in part. As it is we think
it an unparalleled case. And it becomes
more so when we know that he has a
splendid quarter section, well improved
and worth $3.50 an acre, which he
bought in 1897 for $25 an acre.
