provided Greece can prove her readiness

bondholders.

ONCE Lived IN DEXTER.
Maine Mans LifeIess Body Found in
New York.
IT'S THOUGHT THAT HE MAY HAVE
BEEN MURDERED.

Led Double Life and Was Known As
Gustave Smith in One Place and w. u.
Pa vey in Another-Said to Have a Wife
and Three Children Living in Dexter
Case Which the New York Police Are
Investigating.
New York, August 24.-The body of
Gustave Smith, so years old, seafaring
man, was found in the second room of a
miserable little cellar flat at No. SO Ham
ilton street today.
The man had been dead for at least five
days. 1t is impossible to say whether he
was murdered or whether he died in an
epileptic fit
Occupying the rooms with the body
was Katie Shea, Sc years old, the reputed
common law wife of Smith. 1t is stated
that Smith and the Shea woman had
lived together for seven years.
The woman says Smith had been lying
silent and motionless on the floor for
nearly a week. She claims that she
thought nothing of this, thinking him
either sick or drunk.
She says she called into the room sew
eral days ago and asked if she could do
anything for him. She got no answer and
did not trouble herself about it until this
morning, when she asserts, she became
| frightned and asked her brother -in-law
to notify the police.
The woman was put under arrest. al
though no marks of violence were found
on the body.
An.autopsy will be performed tomorrow
to determine the cause of death. Smith
was captain of the lumber boat Lay Mid
dleton, which plies between this city and
| Norfolk, Va. 1t seems that he led
double life and was known under two
names In shipping circles he went as
W. d. Pavey.
He told some of the watermen that he
| lived up to nine years ago at Dexter,
| Maine, where he had wife and three
children, the eldest a girl, now 10 years
old.
| A drawer was found III Smiths apart
ments which was full of letters from his
| family, running back for the nine years
| that Pavey had been away from home.
They were full of loving messages and
limited at something queer that had forced
the man away from his native State.
| 1t is stated that about week ago the
neighbors heard sounds of carousing in
Smiths apartments. Then all was still.
| Nothing more was seen of Smith until
today. The woman acted queerly, but
accounted for Smith S absence by saying
he had gone on a cruise. The rooms the
couple occupied were in sickening con-
dition.

Free Cure For Men.
A MICHIGAN MAN OFFERS TO
SEND HIS DISCOVERY FREE.

Mankind.


Mankind.
There 10 Always more or Iess suspicion
ttached to anything that is offered free
but sometimes man so Overt1ows with
generosity that he cannot rest until his
iscovery is known to the world, in order
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. 1t is upon this princi-
lie that resident Of Kalamazoo, Mich,
desires to send free to mankind a pre-
scription which will cure them of any
orm of nervous debility; relieves them of
II the doubt and uncertainty which such
men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and vigor. AS
it costs nothing to try the experiment ii
ould seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
eeply interested in a remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and
igor, without which they continue to live
an existence of untold misery. AS the
remedy in question was the result of
1any years research as to what combina-
ton would be peculiarly effective in re-
toring to men the strength they need, it
would seem that all men suffering with
any form of nervous weakness ought to
write for such a remedy at once. A re-
.uest to FL. G. Odds, Box 1922, Kalama-
Mich, stating that you are not send
ng for the prescription out of idle curl
osity, but that you wish to make use of
the medicine by giving it trial, will be
answered promptly and without evidence
to where information came from.
The prescription is sent free and al
hough some may wonder how Mr.. Odds
can afforG to give away his discovery,
there is no doubt about the offer being
nuine. Cut IS out and send to Mr.
dds that he may know how you came to
write him.

RUN OVER AND KILLED
Unknown Man Mangled by Train
at Palmdale

An unknown man was run over on
the Southern Pacific railroad near Palm
dale by the conductors special train
at o'clock yesterday morning. The en-
gineer noticed what he thought was
mans coat on the track when at dis
tance of about 400 feet. He did not slow
up. When within few feet of the OBJ
ject he discovered that it was the pros
trate body of man lying across the
track. He then threw on the air brakes.
but it was too late, and two cars had
passed over the body before the train
was brought to stop.
The body was pulled out from under
the wheels and was found terribly man.
gled. The skull had been crushed in
and the left hand severed from the arm.
Several articles were found lying on the
ground close by which are supposed to
have belonged to the victim of the ter
rible accident. A 3S-caliber revolver
with all the chambers loaded and a
butcher knife lay near the track. A
white sombrero was also found on the
ground short distance away. The body
was still warm, showing that he had
not been dead long. Tne trainmen are
of the opinion that the man was
brake passenger on the train that
passed along two hours earlier, and that
he fell off and was knocked senseless.
The body was brought to this city and
taken to Orr & Hines undertaking par
lors, where an inquest was held by the
coroner last night. The jury returned
verdict that the man came to his death
by being run over by Southern Pacific
train, but attached no blame to the
train crew.

heated discussion about some matter

point where the force Of argument
seemed unavailing, and then mixed for
a rough and tumble fight. The set-to
was carried on with a vim on either side,
and proved very amusing. A good sized
crowd gathered and enjoyed the fun.
Finally Smith proved. too much for his
antagonist. and before the end of the
first round Forman was compelled to re-
turn to his corner. bleeding furiously
from a number of cuts about the face.
Forman .brooded over his grievances
for period of about two hours. when
he was unable to contain himeslf longer.
and decided to have the matter out. He
crossed the street to the Rock Island

Smith. The latter could not bear his

SALOON IN DISPUTE
Two Mem Claim the Ownership Of the
Berlin

A rather queer war is In progress for
the possession of the Berlin saloon, near
the corner Of Second and Broadway. The
lease Of the building, which fronts on
Second street, IL owned by the agent OF
the Pabst Brewing company, while the
license and the lease for the building on
Broadway II owned by Joe Hetherihg-
ton, who has always been supposed to be
the owner Of the entire establishment.
Early yesterday morning the brewery
agent secured possession Of the keye, and
ousting Hetherington's employees put in
his own. AS soon as Hetherington
learned this he closed the Broadway en-
trance and locked the door with a big
paddock. at the same time starting up
business on his own hook in his part of
the building. Later in the day the brew
cry agent removed the Broadway door
from its hinges, when Hetherington se-
cured carpenter and boarded up the
entrance. The matter will have to be
settled in the courts. Hetherington says
that he has built ur a profitable bus:-
ness. and that the brewery people are
trying to freeze him out and capture the
place. a

with danger to one who has been improvi-
