Obit: PROSPERITY MAN DIES HERE Charles Hutsell a County Charge, Passes Away In City Hospital, Death came to Charles Hutsell at the hospital yesterday afternoon, after week's illness from typhoid fever. Hutsell was born in Indiana in 1874. Until recently he had made his home in Prosperity. A week ago he was taken to the county poor farm, but his stay there was very short, he being taken to the hospital a day later, where he remained a patient until his death. The funeral services will be held this morning, and the body will be buried at the county's expense, as Hutsell had no known relatives living.

VICTIM OF INHUMAN TREATMENT: Sick Man's Terrible Ride and Death Later at the Poor Farm. A pitiful story of heartlessness and cruelty comes from the poor farm today, and if the facts are as reported it would seem someone ought to be brought to account. The victim in this case is J. N. Ives, 52 years of age, a wagon maker of Duenweg. He had been sick for some time with la grippe and being out of money and without friends it was arranged to send him to the poor farm. In spite of the bitter cold weather yesterday, and the fast that the man had a raging fever and had not eaten anything for eight days, he was pulled out of his bed, placed in an old, rickety buggy and brought overland 12 or 14 miles to the poor farm of this city. He had on no undershirt or overcoat, but was wrapped in an old quilt. Supt. Nall says the man was almost frozen to death when he reached the poor house and had to be assisted by two men to get into the house. Great icicles were hanging from his eyes where the tears had involuntarily started down his cheeks. He was given a warm bath and warm clothing and recovered sufficiently to tell something of himself. At 1 o'clock this morning he got up from his bed to get something and fell dead on the floor. Other who were sleeping in the same room quickly gave the alarm and Supt. Nall was at his side a few minutes later, but nothing could be done for him. The superintendent is confident the man's death was due to the exposure of his long, cold trip to the poor farm, and he is very strong in his denunciation of the parties responsible for the man being sent on such a trip in such weather. He does not know who brought him to the poor farm, or who was responsible for his coming. Dr. Locke, of Webb City, signed the order sending him to the poor farm, but that does not prove that he was responsible for the man being brought in the way he was. A prosecution or two for such inhuman treatment would doubtless have a good effect and make people more considerate of even those who have neither money nor friends. The remains will be embalmed by Mr. Knell, the undertaker, of this city, and held in the hope of finding relatives of the man somewhere. He is a former Virginian and had lived at Duenweg only about eight months. Carthage Press
