found dead on Friday, the 30th, on top of one of the mountains

in a ten-foot snow drift.  He was found near the entrance to

a cave where he had lived for over forty years, nine miles from

Dingman's village.  A brother and sister, from Connecticut and

wealthy, attempted a year ago to get him to return to his friends

to no avail.  Mr. Sheldon disappeared on the day his wife was buried

and was not heard of until last year.  Before moving to the cave,

he said he wandered the woods of Connecticut, Vermont, and New York

for five years.  Sheldon was an educated man, his family being one

of the leading ones in Connecticut.
