DEAD BUT REMAINS STANDING

Negro Caretaker's Body Found In U|K rlght Position. Hackensack. N. Y., Feb. 11.—Death struck Samuel Jones, a negro carertaker of an estate at Bergenflelds, on Monday, and the fact that although dead he continued to stand at a mantle in a room until his body was froze* stiff prevented knowledge of his death becoming known until today. A number of persons saw him inside standing at the mantle and thought he was all right. He was frozen stiff. All elbow resting on the mantle and a hip resting against a small table had prevented him from falling.
