Seneca, Kansas, December 28 - John T. Yates, formerly justice of the peace of this city, was found dead in a snow drift between Seneca and Baileyville, yesterday afternoon. He had lost his way going home from Summerfield Christmas night and perished in the storm that was raging in Northern Kansas. The discovery on the prairie of his horse and buggy was the first intimation to his family of his unfortunate journey and searching parties were sent out and found him.
