GOING TO PRISON DOES
NOT D Il: DOCTOR
JoshIyn Proves to Be Comedian
OF the Bunch in County
Bastile

Neither old age, nor scarcity of
money, nor separation from kindred,
nor his crippled physical condition,
nor confinement in the county Jail, nor
conviction for a serious offense, nor a
sentence to the penetentiary can de-
press the jovial disposition of DR..
Charles A. A. Joshlyn. He is the social
leader of the jail corridor. He jokes,
sings, plays cards and eats candy. His
four and seventy-years cannot stand
in the way of his being a source of
fun, center of mirth among the
younger prisoners.
81 have no teeth" said the doctor
yesterday with a laugh. "But can eat
this candy that minister's wife
brought here"
The doctor showed how he could
turn his left. arm with Serpentine
movements in any direction. Part of
the bone of the upper arm is gone.
81 was in. the army four years and
some MONTHS he said. 81 was under
General Sherman's command when !

distance from Savannah We boys
were marching along, when we were
fired upon by the rebels in ambush.

buck-shot up here around my neck
yet and I am carrying a bullet in my
right leg. My left arm was so badly
shot to pieces that the doctor want
ed to cut it off. would not have it So
| told him he could cut my head off
first. See how l can pull with my left
arm" With that remark he took hold
of the hand of the writer of this
article and pulled him up from his
chair
"They wanted to send me to the
hospital" he went on, ''but got them
to take me on a horse and continu-
ed with the march"
DR.. Joshlyn has lived in Mankato
during the last forty years. At one
time he had large and profitable
practice. He was married twice and
raised thirteen children, seven of
them his own and six of them orphans
that he adopted. He remarked yester-
day that he did not hear from any of
| these children or adopted children
They were scattered over Wisconsin
Texas and other states. His life of late
years has been rather solitary. He had
his office, laboratory and living and
sleeping rooms all together in the
same suite upstairs in building on
| South Front street
The doctor answered number of
| questions about his past life and then
got tired of talking about himself and
walked away, singing Bring the Good
| Old Bugle, Boys"
The execution of his sentence has
| been suspended to December 81. 1t is
understood that an effort will be made
| to have him paroled.

Corporal Hickman is alive. we'll and
Is "tickled to death" because he Joined
Uncle Sans family. He has not been
shot or even classified for deser-

cowardly and are started by rene

anguish to many.
