FOUND UNCONSCIOUS.
An Aged Man Nearly Suffocated From Gas
at the Mount Vernon House.

An Aged Man Nearly SufIocated From Gas
at the Mount Vernon House.
Sunday morning shortly after midnight an
elderly man comfortably dressed entered the
Office at the Mount Vernon Hotel and asked for
a room for the night. He had no money and
SO the clerk permitted him to leave his overcoat
as security for the payment of his bill rather
than refuse him place to sleep for the night.
The guest remained in the Office, and while
in conversation with the clerk he said he had
been boarding on E street. but that there had
been several fights in the house, and he thought
it about time for him to leave. 1t was nearly 8
o'clock in the morning when he retired.
Shortly after 9 o'clock yesterday morning
the housekeeper was passing through the cor
ridor Of the hotel, when she was attracted to
room by the heavy breathing Of the occupant,
and going close to the door she discovered
that gas was escaping in the room.
A knock on the door was not answered and
the clerk was called from the Office. The door
was then forced open, and the man was found
unconscious from the gas he had inhaled
Restoratives were applied and the patient
soon recovered consciousness. He was unable
to tell what was the matter with him, and
when told that the gas had been left turned on
he said: Il guess must have left 1t So"
He was then removed TO Providence Hospital,
where, under treatment, he was soon out Of
danger.
The unfortunate man did not register at the
hotel, but on several papers found in his pocket
appeared the name Of Z b. Warren. He appeafSd
to be about sixty years old, and from the con-
dition of his hands it is judged that he was not
used to performing manual labor. In his
pocket was found hammer.
There was no defect in the gas fixtures in the
room, but the patient did not say whether the
gas was left turned on purposely or whether it
was an accident

and the ReenrfncinR of the RoadNaN.

What Capt FieeeEer says 90 rts Removal
and the kesurfscinG cf the Roadway.
The parking in the middle OF New York ave-
nue. has been the subject matter Of considera-
BILE discussion and the Commissioner have
received many letters upon the subject Q
large majority Of which, favored and urged ~
obliteratior.
II was intended 10 include In the pending CD
preparation bill an item for the Improvement u
New York avenue by the removal OF the park
ing running through its center. After consid-
GRAFTON. however. il was concluded. in view q
the number Of other streets needing pavemensa,
to leave this item out Of the bill
larry IN the month long petition signed by
majority of the property owners on New York
avenue was received by the Commissioner
Il urged that an item be added TO the pending
appropriation bill providing for the re-
noNai OF the parking and paving 81
the roadway between eth and 10th streets
from curb 20 curb N lieu Of the proposed re-
suriseing. 10 that end the petition requests
that the extra expense incurred by removing
the parking be paid by pro rat. assessment
against the abutting property.
This petition was referred 10 Capt Fiebegss
for report In his reply 10 the Commissioners
Capt Fiebeger says that the signers OF the

resurfaced during the next hscai
year. There other streets, he
says, which require resurfacing before
New York avenue and with the appropriatioa
as il nov stands New York avenue viii not be
reached during the coming fiscal year. On &C
count Of the necessity of changing grades %
will be impossible TO remove the parking with
out resurfacing the entire street Capt
fiebeger says he thinks that the removal a

ers, is a very desirable Improvement, but
should not be made at the expense of other
streets equally or more important IL the uneK-
pended balance Of the appropriation for 1891 "a

Henry Horsman, of Grant county, has
got himself into a scrape. It appears
that he purchased five horses of Rodney
Prescott Of that place, some time ago,
and made partial payment on the same,
giving Prescott a mortgage for the
balance. Horsman, the five horses and
a light wagon from Charley Caters
yard disappeared rather suddenly.
Horsman was tracked to Anoka countv
by Cater and Prescott, and one of the
horses was recovered in Bethel.
Following up the trail Cater
and Prescott reached Princeton
last Saturday, and, accompanied by
Sheriff Howard, went up river to Goss'
camp and captured Horsman, two more
of the horses and the wagon, and took
the whole outfit to Herman. Monday.
The two missing horses are supposed
to have been disposed of in the vicinity
of Anoks.

Richard Brady Newton.


At last, after lingering illness and
much suffering, Richard B. Newton has
gone to his rest-he died at noon yes
terday. Deceased was born in Cheshire,
England, Feb. 14th, 1926, and was mar
ried in London in 1854 to Miss Mary
Wheelwright. He emigrated to the
United States, came to- Princeton and
in 1867 settled on q homestead in Wya-
nette, Isanti county: later he moved
onto |. S. Mudgett's farm in Princeton
township, and for the past eleven years
he has been engaged in the merchantile
business in this village.
For more than year past he has
been confined to his room. and at times
suffered intense agony-it is supposed
that he was afflicted with cancer of the
stomach, but the autopsy this forenoon
will reveal the nature of the disease
which terminated in his death. His
widow and eight children survive him.
Funeral tomorrow (Friday) from the
house at Up M
Richard B. Newton was a plain out
spoken man, scrupulously honest in all
his dealings; he hated shams and
hypocrites; he cherished his friends
and had no use for an enemy; his word
was his bond. Those who knew him
best admired him most.
