LOCKED OUT; FROZEN.

  Pittsburg, Jan. 5. - Returning to his home early this morning, Robert Colbert, 
aged 75, found he had locked himself out.  Procuring a hatchet, he chopped a 
hole in the lower panel of the front door and attempted to crawl in.  While 
trying to squeeze through the opening his clothing caught and he was held till 
he froze to death.  His body was found hanging in the door by neighbors shortly 
after daylight.
