E. Chapman, in whose charge the body was, and who buried it Sunday afternoon before identification hud been made. Inquiries there so assured his belief that the man was ills brother .that he made arrangements to have the body exhumed this afternoon. Mr. Stoner returned home last night to look up further facts regarding his brother and returned to Poe today to be present when the body is removed from the ground. Concerning the care of his brother : Mr. Stoner said last night: "If, after raising the body, I find defl . nitely that tlie unidentified man Is my brother, and the body is in any eon dition to be taken awav, we will have him cared for differently, and we will take him to New Haven, where funeral services will be held and the body i placed in tlie local cemetery. I am fully convinced that it is my brother who has met witli this misfortune, and when I find out definitely, I am going to do everything in my power to have him taken care of as he would have I een had we known of tlie death at thetlme. We consider it is very fortunate, however, that even at this late a time we have evidently been brought to find him.” Beside the brother Daniel, living in Fort Wayne, the supposed deceased brother is survived by two oilier brothers, W. H. Stoner and Slim 1 Stoner of Ong, Nebraska Neither ot these brothers are aware of the accident. but will be notified as soon as the fact becomes definitely known. Mr. Stoner had been trying to locate his brother for some time, having seen him last in Fort Wayne last January. Mr. Stoner stated that he had ro idea of liom lie was there at. such a late hour, as the storm in which he was killed came up between 11 and 1 o'clock at night. He thought possibly lie might have been on his way to

Letters from the lending alienists in the world to Superintendent Edenharter, published in reports to the governor of Indiana, concede Dr. Edeaharter s premiership and succcs 1in this epis'li-making achievement.

Dr. Edenharter has except ■! hit i plans up to the point of educating the I inlilfc in regard to insanity and the ' treatment of the insane.
