Mr.. Scott was an old soldier, having
served with distinction through the late
war as lieutenant in Hancock'S vet
eran corps. His heat trouble was con-
tracted during his service in the
army, and he has been har
raised by frequently recurring spasms
which became more and more severe,
and finally resulted in his death last
evening as stated. For the past three
years Mr.. Scott resided, together with
his family, at 20 Chicago avenue, where
the body now lies awaiting an autopsy.
By virtue of a peculiar agreement made
during the life OF deceased with DR.. G..
l.. Hatch. of Owatonna, that gentleman
was notified of Scott'S demise last night
and will probably reach the city this
morning. The agreement between the
doctor and deceased was that the former
should, if he survived Scott, hold an
autopsy on the remains of his friend
and patient, who has always expressed
a horror of being buried alive. De-
ceased leaves a widow and grown-up
family to mourn his sudden taking Off.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Scott was walk
ing round town, chatting with friends
here and there as usual, and made no
complaint of feeling unweIl.

waving his arms and shouting, and was
run down and trampled upon. His. in
juries are of a superficial nature, no
bones being broken.

the inner consciousness of the charm
calling for the sacrifice of several lives
by the hero before the curtain falls.

PRESENTED twice at the West Side
