Death at the Hospital
A comparative stranger, named Wm. Scullon, died at the County Hospital on New
Year’s morning.  The unfortunate man was picked up by railroad men near the
track east of Wadsworth, and brought here to be cared for at the expense of the
county.  When found the man was virtually naked.  He told the section boss that
he had wandered off from the road and built a sagebrush fire and went to sleep
by it, and during the night his clothing took fire and before he could team them
off the flesh on the lower portion of the body was burned almost to the bone. 
He was provided with clothing and sent here for treatment.  He is thought to
have been partially insane as he had been seen on several different occasions at
about the same place, and each time he was going to the Black Hills.
