LIKE A RETURN
 FROM THE DEAD.
Henry Seymour, Famous Acrobat, Vis- ting His Brother - Obituary Once Written.

So changed that his own brother didn't know him, Henry Seymour, native of this city and world-famous as an acrobat and jumper, reached here Saturday and is visiting his brother, Arthur J. Seymour of No. 2S Union street It is the first time in four years that Henry has been here and his coming savors something of return from the dead, since he has once been reported dead in that time and his obituary published, and Arthur has heard but little from him since, as he is no hand to write.
 When Henry reached here Saturday afternoon he sought out a mutual friend. Martin Keough, and together they called upon Arthur at his place of business. The apparent stranger with Mir Keough attracted no attention from Arthur. who did not know it was his brother until he was told. Henry's changed appearance through loss in weight and other changes through the passage of years accounted for Ar thurs failure to recognize his brother, but it was a joyful reunion when he was told who stood before him.
 Henry tells the story of his reported death as follows: While in Oklahoma in February, 1919. he got mired In quicksand. He was travelling with pack horse at the time and managed to get the horse out, but he himself was caught and for several hours was in the freezing water, sinking till he was nearly in to his armpits. A crowd of several hundred people stood on the shore watching but not daring to do anything for him until finally one man with a shovel got behind him and man aged to dis him put.
 zF h. h a pneumonia and typhoid fever. At the critical point in his sickness the nurse in attendance was convinced that he had passed away and so reported to the doctor The doctor sent out tele
 grams to that effect but later when he went back he found that his pa tient's hands had moved from the posi- ton in which the nurse had left them
 From that suggestion that there was
 still a spark of life left the doctor re
 newed his treatment and brought MT
 Seymour back to life. For eight weeks after that Alr. Seymour remembered
 nothing and was in no condition to see that the reports of his death were contradicted, so that for 8 long time
 his relatives knew nothing definite about him. News of his death was published in The Bulletin of March 9, 1910, the report stating that he had died of pneumonia on Feb. 23d
