The following dispatch relates to an old man who worked in Muncie only a short time ago. Many of our people will remember him: Columbia City, Ind., Jan. 23.-The mutilated remains of James Ross, an aged tailor of this place, who disappeared three weeks since, were found in the woods four miles north of here to-day. When last seen he was walking around suffering from delirium tremens. He went to the woods and was frozen to death. Hogs had partially eaten the body and torn every stitch of clothing from it. He was sixty years old and unmarried.
