a Miser Found Dead In a lfavlne.
SHASTA, Gala, Jan. 3l.-John Man
ming, an old resident of Shasta county,
was found dead yesterday near his cab
in, short distance from town. He was
found lying in ravine, the wet ground
showing signs of a desperate struggle on
his part to regain his feet and reach the
cabin. The Coroner's jury rendered
verdict of death by apoplexy, induced
by starvation. 1t is said he had gold
dust to the amount of S75,0 900 in his pos
session, he having been successful in
mining, but thorough search OF his
cabin reveals nothing-neither money,
provisions or clothing. He was too mi
serly to purchase food and existed by
begging.
