made recently that the sewer at the inter
section of Evanston and Buena avenues.
WAS running over. and to-day workmen
werv, sent tn investigate TING trouble. The
cover was removed from the manhole m
the center OF the street and after ~ few
minutes work with poles and hooks two
valises were brought up. One was at
leather and tl,e other the remains OF n
Cheap paper one. In the leather valise
was found DIR. Cronin's prescription book
with several prescriptions hearing
his signature. The valisc dropped
TO pieces when IL was pulled out and
from il rolled "a mass of tattered clothing.

only garment remaining intact was the
vest, which was IL, the centre and which

hand and his brains oozinH from his
skull. He was dead. and as no one could
identify him il was sst once presumed that
his tragic death had some mysterious CON
