SCHLATTER DIES A PAUPER

Unless Friends Claim “Healer's” Body It Will Go to Students. Hastings, Neb., Oct. 22.—Charles M. Schlatter, who claimed to cufe ills by divine power, was found dead in a room at a hotel here. Doctors say he died of old age. Schlatter, who was widely known and once had a large following, was practically penniless. He had been in this place for about a month. Thousands of newspaper clippings, describing his visits to Boston, Denver and other cities, were found in his room. Unless relatives or friends claim the body it will be turned over to some medical college.
