Middle Aged COIOrsd Man
Found Frozen to Death
After Horse BaIkS
HUNTING SHELTER
WHEN DEATH CAME

The body Of middle-aged colored
man was found early last evening,
lying face downward. in Folly Moods
BY Alfred Riley. a member OF a gypsy
band encamped nearby The col
ored man. evidently a victim of the
blizzard, OF last week. was frozen
and his face had been preyed upon
by the buzzards and other animals.
Coroner Spring removed the body to
the morgue.
Apparently stranger in this Vi
cinity, the man IS supposed to have
been walking. either from or TO this
city, and having become bewildered
in the storm. wandered into the
woods. The man must have fallen
exhausted. as his body was partly
covered with snow.
The body was discovered when ri.
ley was leading two horses TO q
stream in the woods. and one of tho
horses baked. Despite Riley's ef.
forts. the horse refused to step for.
ward Tbereupon Riley decided e
Investigate. Near a stump he fount
the dead man. and. calling to an
other member of the baud of nomads
Riley advanced towards the body
The two men then notified a farm
er near by. Coroner Spring wen
TO the woods
/ The dead man was lying about 40l
yards from the Newport pike ap'
] within a short distance from tn
home OF a colored family. on the edg
Of the woods The body was no
marked, and It Is evident that dealt
, was due to exposure.
The man had q watch and som
keys in his pockets. and a few odd
and ends, but nothing to furnish
clue 10 his identity. He wore a gra
and black cap, white shirt, wit
black stripes, a dark vest, a coat O
brown striped with yellow, blac
overcoat. trousers, shoes and stock
ings. The body was about so yard
from the roadway. The man ha,
evidently been dead for some tim.
but the body was well preserved.
This morning many farmers froI
the neighborhood OF Newport an
Stanton called al the morgue 20 ie'
the body None knew the man. how
ever, and as no one has been repor
ed 10 the police as missing, the ider
tity OF the man is g mystery.
