Man Believed PenniIess Found Dead
and Valuable Stocks Discovered.
The lfeless body of John Bohn, a re-
tired saloonkeeper was found in his
room in the Klondike Hotel in Omaha,
Neb. He had committed suicide. A
search of the room revealed $4,000 in
railroad, bank stock and cash. Bohn had
been i'll for a number of days, but had
been able to be about. Early Saturday
he went to his room and left word not to
be called until night. When the clerk
went to the room and knocked at the
door there was no response. The door
was forced and the body of Bohn was
found lying upon the bed, perfectly cold,
indicating that death had occurred some
hours before. A revolver with one of
the chambers empty was grasped in his
right hand and n gaping wound was In
his breast, just over the heart. Bonn had
been regarded as almost a pauper and
no one knew OF the wealth that he had
secreted in trunks, satchels and boxes.
SO far as is known there are no relatives.
