PASADENA, July 2l.-Last evening
about o'clock Horace F. Mills was dis
covered lying under some email shrub
berry on Mr.. Reeds grounds, corner
Colorado street and Orange Grove, in
dying condition. He was suffering
greatly, moaning so that he could be
heard for some distance. The noise at
tracted one of the men who works about
She place. Finding the man in bad
way word was at once sent down town
and Officer Galtman notified, who went
up with conveyance and brought the
man into town, taking him to the jail.
Meanwhile pr. McAllister was notl-
fed and at once upon his arrival pro-
nounced it bad case of poisoning.
Everything possible was done for the
sufferer, but owing to the poison taken,
carbolic acid, but little relief could be
offered.
From letters in his pocket it was
learned that no lived at 139 Mary street,
at boarding house Kept by Mr.. ano
Mrs. Hubbard, whittier he was re-
moved. remaining until death came to
his relief at 2 O'Clock this afternoon.
His suffering during the whole time
was something terrible, the action OF
the acid being of slow but deadly ma
ture, burning into the flesh.
What could have induced deceased to
end his life in such horrible manner
remains a mystery, although 1T is sup-
posed that general dependency on &C
count OF poor health was the chief cause.
The people at the boarding house state

that he was found in a stupor Jew
mornings ago, which is now believed to
have been the result of an attempt to
take his life by chloraI.
At the place where he was first dis
covered an empty ounce bottle of car
bolc acid was found, proving concu-
eively that this was the cause of his
death.
about four months, coming here from
Minneapolis, where his family now re-
sides, ON account of his health. He was
in good financial condition, it is under
stood, owning considerable property in
the east. Mrs. Mills has been expected
to arrive from the east for some time,
but has been detained by the strike and
business affairs.
The delay in her arrival may have
preyed upon the mind OF her husband.
Coroner Gates was notified this after
noon and came up late this evening to
hold the inquest. The remains are
lying in the undertaking parlors of
Reynolds & Van Mugs awaiting instruc-
tions from the east, information OF the
death having been wired this afternoon.
A RAPID COLLECTOR.
Some excitement was caused on East
Colorado street this afternoon by a
lively fracas which resulted in q too
vigorous bill collector being hauled up
before Recorder Roesiter and fined $l5,
with the alternative Of Is days in the
county Jail.
1t seems that q young man named
Charles Calvin claimed that Frank
Shaw owed him 81, which debt Shaw
disclaimed. " hen the two young fell
lows met, Calvin started in to get his
money by going through Shaw's pock-
cts, which proceedings were decidedly
objected to, resulting in big fight, in
which Shaw came out second best with
the major part OF his shirt and other
garments strewn about the street. The
officers stopped the fight and arrested
both com batants. Shaw, however, was
released later.
