from cancer threatening him, the old
millionaire, E. ]. Baldwin, better
known as Lucky" Baldwin, is in an
obscure lodging house, being treated
by cancer specialists. He has been
there since the day after Christmas,
but his identity has been hidden under
the assumed name of Edward Jackson.
His family has been calling on him
daily The old man is suffering from
cancer, and there are no less than
three gru.vths developing. The most
serious is in the middle of the lower
lip, and the Others are under the chin.
His,doctors say he will recover, as the
two cancers under the chin were
caused by X-ray treatment, from which
Baldwin derived no benefit, but as the
patient is over seventy the danger of
complication is grave. Baldwin did
not tell the doctor who he was but the
doctor says he drove very shrewd
bargain with him for treatment.

space of 5000 square feet.
The settling. was gradual and the
people in the affected territory escaped

who were at work in the mine beyond
the fall encountered flooded depres-

just in front of the hotel property. The
brick pavement was seen to be work

along the curb were noticed to be
webbing. The cause was apparent
and the alarm was spread. Two sick
guests were removed from the hotel.
Twenty minutes after the disturb
ance was first noticed the opening had
widened until it reached across the
street and halfway beneath the hotel.
Then, with terrific crash the building
pitched forward, turned over and land
ed on it's roof in the bottom of the
abyss.
An immense amount of earth from
the edge of the hotel went down with
it, and a moment later the adjoining
double dwelling of Mrs. Evans fell over
the edge and was demolished on the
ruins of the hotel. The Akerly store
