believed that his fortune was in sight. and
confidently told his friends that he ex-

every one with whom he talked was con-

This morning he was in Cans & Klein's
store on North Main street. He endeavs

sent for an officer.
He was taken to the city Jail, where he

| The First National bank of this city has
in Its vaults 81, $3.50 which it is anxious to
dispose of, but in the absence Of proof OF
title it canno let go. The money was
transferred from the Hibernia bank Of
San Francisco for distribution among the
Brays-Edwin F., John z. and Lucy
Bray, brothers and Sister, but the latter
have been unable to decide the manner in
which it should be divided. 1t formerly
belonged to Their father and was by him
handed to their mother, who in turn is
alleged to have left it to the children. Ed
win F. and Lucy claim their mother left
it to them exclusively and John E. claims
he has an interest in it by actual owner
ship and is also entitled to his share of
the balance. In order to have the matter

several years ago brought suitagainst the
Brays and the trial of the action was
commenced in Judge Clancy's court to-
day. AS the bank has no interest in the
case further than the determination of I'll

II don't see what right the bank has to
bring an action of this nature" remark

that the bank was not represented.
Mr.. Wines then explained the matter.
He said among other things hat If the
bank paid the money to job e. Bray the
other two would object and if it paid the

]. l, .R0DDICK DIES
IN COUNTY JAIL
OF ALCOHOLISM.

James L. Roddick was found dead in
a cell in the county jail about midnight.
On Saturday afternoon Roddick was
arrested by James Ledyen of the police
department and deposited at the jail in
a hack, his helpless condition necessi-
tating the use of an ambulance in trans
ferring him from the place he was found
to the Jail. He was booked under the
name of John Jones and it was not until
after his death that his true name was
known. A charge of vagrancy was
placed against him.. Although not drunk
when arrested, it was evident that Rod
dick had been drinking heavily, for he
was on the verge of collapse. He had
doubtless gone without fod for several
days. Realizing his condition, Jailer
Walsh gave him a "bracer," a supply OF
which is always kept ON hand at the
Jail for just such cases, but 1t had little
effect in the direction of restoring the
sick mans nerves to their normal CON-
ditfonl Last night 1T was noticed thai
Roddick was restless and laxative tn
such a degree that he disturbed his cell
partner, a man named McAuley. About
II o'clock McAuley heard him fall. and
on making an investigation found him
ON his face in his bunk. McAuley placed
a coat under his head. BY and by Nc
A~uleytheard Roddick moving i'm the bunk
and on looking up found him in a sitting
posture. Roddick said he was cold and
asked McAllley to cover him up. but Nc
Auley is alleged to ave told him to go
to a traditional hotter place, as he had
covered him several times but he would
not remain covered. But he covered
Rodditk just the same. It was manifest
to McAuley hat Roddick was not right
in his mind, for as soon as he was COW
cred he got up and said he int nded to
sleep at the Butte, as he had stayed there
the night before. McAuley told him to
lie down and he complied. McAuley then
rolled into his own bunk and a few min
utes later heard a rattle in the throat Of
his fellow prisoner. Surmising that Rod
dick was dying he examined him and
that life was extinct. The taller
was notified and the coroner called. The
latter turned the body over to E. H.
Sherman, but will hold an inquest on 1t
before it is consigned to 3he grave.
Roddlck was about 40 years old, and

ENGLAND AND HER STARVING

Russia has never been charged with
enlightenment, but England is so far
advanced that she considers it neces-
sary to extend her beneficent rule to
the Beers in South Africa. She has al
ready spent $4,000, 900 to conquer a
territory upon which she has no claim
whatever, while philanthropists are
appealing to the American people to
send money and food to the conquered
races of India. The Americans should
be generous. They cannot afford to
remain mute while millions OF Gods
creatures are being stricken down for
lack Of bread, but charity should be to
England's victims rather than to Eng
lish subjects These people are dying
because of maladministration A sim
gle item in the long count against Eng

natives Of India have been compelled
by law to grow opium for the British

BOYD IS QUIET
WILL NOT ACT UNTIL COUNTY RE
FUSES TO PAY HIS BILL.


Mayor Evan G. Boyd, of New Castle.
who mas come into prominence Of late
because Of his attempt to collect from
une county charges for committing to
New Castle jail prisoners whom he
never saw, was in this city again this
morning. He was in consultation with
Sheriff Taylor at the Court House rela-
tive to the bill now in the hands of
the Levy Court, and their talk was a
long and earnest one.
When a reporter for the Evening
Journal spoke to Mr.. Boyd about the
action Of the Levy Court in refusing
to pay the bill, and concerning the pub
lished statement that he would bring
suit against the county to collect the
amount which he says is due him, he
refused to enter into a discussion on
the subject.
THE bill is in the hands of the Lew
Court. and until it finally acts in the
matter l will not do or say anything. j
he said.
He also said It was the intention OF
the members Of the court to allow the
claim when he presented it, but init.
mated that so much outside influence
had been brought to bear on the com.
missioners that he now does not expect
to receive the full amount of the bill
unless a court of law establishes his
right to the claim.
