home last night, J. B. Sullivan, of No. 238

a police officer, who found him lying in
sensible at the corner of Latin and Polk
streets, his face covered with CONCEALED
blood, which had also spattered the side
walk about him, while his hands were bad
ly frozen. The patrol wagon was called
from the Twentieth street station and he
was taken to the county hospital where he
was aroused by the physicians and
recovered his sense to such
degree as to be able to state his name and
residence. His pockets were turned inside
out, and to his vest hung portion of his
watch chain. The other portion of his
watch and $15 were gone. The cut on his
face looked as if it might have been done
with knife. While his injuries are not
serious he viii probably remain at the hos
pital for some days. The police have no
knowledge of the identity of the hoodlums
who did this work.

MIsER's DEATH.
AURORA, O., Jan. 14.-Austin Risley, sixty
years old, who lived alone in misery, on a
farm near town, was found yesterday lying
in barn unconscious partly covered with
snow and ice, two ugly wounds on his head.
He had evidently been lying helpless when
| found for many hours, exposed to the al
| ternate snow and rain which beat in the
wide open doors. neighbor who dis
covered him called in aid and efforts were
made to revive the unfortunate man, but
he died few hours later without being
able to tell how he was hurt. Some think
he was murdered for money, but as he kept
it secreted search will be likely to show
whether the house has been robbed. Moth
ing indicates that the premises were ran
sacked. 1t Is probable that Risley fell
from the hay loft receiving injuries which
stunned him, and death ensued from ex-
posure.
