DYING And WANTED SON
Mother Anxious to Hear from
Her Boy, Whose Whereabouts
We're Unknown.
Son Was Albert Fassett, Whose
Sudden Death Occurred Here
Thursday.
Publication Of Accident Brings
About Location Of Fassett's
Relatives.

The relatives of Albert Fassett, the
Young iourneyman tailor who died in a
room over SundelIs cafe at o'clock
Thursday morning, as the result Oh
either being pushed over or having
fallen down on the sidewalk late the
night before and sustaining a bad frac-
lure of the skull, have been located.
Word to the T.-R. from Nevada THIS
morning, from an employing tailor ..
NJ. Dean, who read the account of Fas-
setts death in the T.-R. Thursday
evening, is able to give the information
80 much desired.
Mr.. Dean had been employing Fas-
sett for five or six weeks until recently.
He knew that the young mans habits
were dissolute, and that his worst 1aull
was his tendency to over indulge in in
toxicating liquor. yet he was good
workman and he kept him as long as
his work demanded the extra help.
Mother Is Dying; Wants Her Son.
Mr.. Dean says that he had just re-
a
Nevada, from Edward Fassett. of 24O
Queen street, Toronto, Can, asking for
the whereabouts of his son Albert,
whom he knew to have been
working for Mr.. Dean. Tne
letter was in effect that
Mrs. Fassett was very i'll and not ex-
.pected to live, and that she kept con-
stantly calling for her son. wanting him
TO come to her or else write her. The
letter had hardly reached its destina-
ton in Nevada before the son was ly-
ing cold in death in this city.
Father Is Wealthy.
The eldest Fassett, 50 Mr. Dean
states, is wealthy and prominent man,
and will undoubtedly want the body OF
his son shipped to Toronto for burial.
the undertakers were appraised OF the
later Developments in the case and at
once wired Mr.. Fassett. asking as to
the disposition of the remains.
Conduct Post Mortem.
Coroner f. p. Liere, assisted by DIR.
Chesire, conducted a post mortem this
forenoon to ascertain the exact nature
of the wound that caused Fassett's
death. 1t was found that he had sus-
tanned terrible fracture clear thru the
base of the skull, extending from q
point back of the left ear to a point be-
hind the right eye. The brain showed
evidences of bad hemorrhages. being
completely filled with blood clots. 1t
is surprising that Fassett lived as long
as he did after the injury.
Inquest Is Postponed.
The body was prepared for burial af-
ter the post mortem and will await the
disposition as directed by the answer to
the underwriters telegram. Coroner
Lierle has decided to postpone the in
quest until Saturday morning. 1t will

of the Central Looking Tor

Robert Batty. Aged IS. Who
Lived with His Father Here,
May be Dead.
Thought to Have Been Kid.

Vigorous Search.

The many friends of Mr.. George $
Batty. for three years, until recently,
general passenger and ticket agent of
the Iowa Central in this city, now gen
eral manager of the Street Western
Stable Car Company, of Chicago, Will
be grieved to hear that he has been
sorely afflicted by the strange disap-
pearance of his son Robert. aged 10.
Master Batty made his home in this
city with his father all of last winter
and attended school here. making his
home with DR.. and Mrs. III. l.. Getz. The
case is a most peculiar one and 1T is
feared that the lsd was kidnapped and
that perhaps he may have been the
boy found in deserted canal boat in
Paris, almost dead from starvation, ana
who died shortly after being taken to
the hospital. This mornings Inter
Ocean says of the strange case:

ert James Batty, the 15-year-old son
Of George S. Batty, general manager OF
the Chicago branch of Streets Western
Stable Car line, almost three weeks ago.
coupled with the report of the death
of a boy of about the same age, named
Beatty. in a Paris hospital a few days
ago, is causing much excitement at the
parents summer home in Candy, Ore.
THE search of the missing lad had
been vigorously prosecuted all along
the Pacific coast. but the striking SINH
larity between the names and the de-
scription of the dead boy in Paris has
led the father to turn to the Partisan
authorities for further particulars re-
sro riding the hoy. who was found in an
advanced state of starvation compli-
Gated by pneumonia. He was found by
the police in deserted canal boat and
hurried to the hospital, where he died
without regaining consciousness.
THE American colony upon hearing
Of the case started q subscription for
his aid, but the youth died before the
money could comfort him. 1t will now
be used. according to dispatches, to
give him a decent burial.
Young Batty. who may be the same
as the Paris youth. disappeared from
his fathers summer home in Candy,
Ore, before daybreak on the morning
of Aug. IS. No tidings of him have
since reached the parents, and the as
sistance of the police departments in
every large city across the country has
teen sought to find a trace of him.
Thinking that the boy might have
gone to California, for which place he
always exhibited liking, Mr.. Batty
went to Santa Barbara last week and
took up residence. He kept up a hunt
for his child, but his efforts have been
fruitless. Mr.. Batty only recently took
