Held. s.-a..ss Y. .--.

r., L. Elder. whose home is said to be
in Fargo, N. D.. where his wife and child
rem now reside, was found dead in bed
at the Windsor hotel this morning.
Deputy Coroner H.G. Twins was sum-
moned and ordered the remains removed
to the county morgue where an autopsy
will be held. ~ ~
Elder went to the hotel last Saturday.
He remained in his room all day yester-
day and when he failed to appear this
morning, the door was forced and his
lifeless. body was found. A bottle lying
under the pillow caused the servants to
think that the man had committed sui
eide. 1t was afterwards found that this
bottle contained alcohol which had been
used in treating rheumatism.
From Thomas N. Blake, sos Franklin
avenue E, who was acquainted with Eld-
er. it was learned that the man was in
the city hospital during March where he
received treatment for the rheumatism.
Elder told Blake that his wife and child
rem lived in Fargo, N. D., but that he
was not on good terms with his family.
| Elder had no money and unless the
relatives at Fargo send for the remains
they will be buried at the county's ex-
pense. is-@ 5<&
