crombie township. last Wednes-
day afternoon. where it had been
frozen to death in the recent cold
snap.
A. E. Johnson of this city. re-
presenting the Streeter Land
Company. had gone there in COM
pany with some land seekers from

dy Of a man. apparently about

ber Of days. Coroner Ness was no.

He had completed his employment
and had gone awav. Mr.. Johnson
knew not where. This was during

\. The body had bottles of both
whiskey and alcohol in the pock-
y cts. and it is supposed that he
had become intoxicated and had
crawled into the chicken house
. for. shelter from the cold. where
he had frozen to death Tuesday
night of the previous week.
Mr.. Hegberg. was supposed to
have an uncle residing at Onemias
Mimi. and inquiry was made Of

Davis of the steamship EtOnian,

How the mines happened to be

adrift in the belief that it might
eventually find lodgment against

speculation; The only warship

Not Escaped U. 3. Mine
A recent report that q mine had
been lost by or was missing from
the Brooklyn navy yard was de-
MED yesterday at the command
ants office there.
The mine was of different de-
sign than that adopted by the
United States army. hence the
from Fort Hancock. and that ii
might be a dummy which escaped
from there was discarded.
At Fort Hancock it was said that
the mines used in connection with
the work in the fort. if adrift,
would show merely a round me-
tallic ring and that none of them
had prongs or triggers. The mines
used by the navy, it wos said. were
very much like those used by the
army in appearance.
