Darwin 4. West. better known as
"Rocky" West, dropped dead at 10 o'clock
MS morning on the door step of his
home, Matilda street. He had gone to
the barn TO hitch up his horse for
drive, when he suddenly put his hand to
his heart and exclaimed "I'm gone" and
staggered TO the door step OF the
house and expired. Medical Ex-
aminer Palmer was notified by
Captain Baker of Station 2. The cause of
death was heart disease. Mr.. West was
% years old and leaves a widow.
Mitchael Cassidy was arrested late last
night for stealing sl00 from his mother,
Mrs. Charles Cassidy, who keeps a large
store at the corner OF Admiral and Hawk
ms street. The theft occurred last
Sunday and the police were notified
Monday. Captain Baker gave the case
into the hands of Detective Reardon. who
made thorough investigation
OF the premises and finally came
TO the conclusion that some inmate OF the
house was the thief and that person was
Michael Cassidy. Accord ingly a warrant
was sworn out for the arrest OF Cassidy, and
last night he was arrested by mounted
policeman William J. Briggs. IL is said
that Cassidy would not have stolen the
money II he had not been in an intoxi-
Gated condition. IL is doubtful II his
mother will push the case against him.
That Henry LAWN wasn't killed last
night was no fault of Joseph Wells.
Both men live in the same tenement at
10 Livingston street, and have had trouble

after supper the two men picked
II up, and Wells threw large
stone at LAWN which hit him
him on the right side of the hSsd, frac-
turing his skull. This ended the fight
DIR. John II. Cooney was sent
for and seeing the serious condi-
lon OF the patient ordered |
his removal to the hospital where he re- |
mained all night in a comatcse condition.
fhis morning an operation was performed |
and the hospital physicians were unable |
TO say whether the man would recover or 1
not. LAWN had not recovered con- 1
sciousness this afternoon. Wells was ar
rested and pleaded not guilty in the Dis
trict Court this morning.
