Impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
OF skin on his whole body that was not
affected. he was one mass OF sores.
The bandages used to stick to his skin
and In removing them it used to take
the skin off with them, and the screams
from the poor child were heart-break-

never get well, but after the second
application of Cuticura Ointment

other guests of the Occidental, when
she finally made the surprising admis-

that she was not married. but had met
her male companion in Seattle and had
journeyed TO this city with him.
1t developed later that Graham, when
he visited the Palace, went direct to
the Office. where he asked for a room,
but his inebriated condition caused his
request TO be denied by the clerk. He
then crossed the street TO the Grand

traced TO the Lick House, where he en-
gagged a room, registering as A. NJ.

last seen or heard of the missing man

that the man is temporarily insane
from the effects of excessive drinking,

fesseS They Are Not Married

After a futile effort to end his life

the Occidental Hotel, supposed to be
Frank Graham. son of wealthy resi-
dent of Riverdale. one of the aristo-
cratic suburbs of New York City, yes
terday disappeared in a mysterious
manner.
The woman, whom he claimed as his
wife, is now prostrated by nervous ex-
citement at the hotel The police were
called in yesterday to assist her to To-
cate the missing man.
Graham is about 80 years of age, of
robust figure, and is supposed to have
been drinking heavily of late. In COM
pany with a young woman he arrived
from the north on Sunday and regis
tered at the Occidental as IF. Gray
and wife, Seattle" En- route to this city
he told several of his travelling COM
paniors that he was engaged in the
lumber business in the north and was
coming TO this city on business. At
times he acted rather peculiarly, fact
which was remarked by others on the
train. on Tuesday he and his compan-
ion made a trip through Chinatown.
Later at night the woman summoned
bellboy 10 her apartments and asked
him to fetch a doctor, explaining that
her husband had attempted suicide by
locking himself in the bathroom and
turning on the gas. DR.. f. K. john
ston. who resides in the hotel was
called and after several hours work, in
which he was assisted by a trained
nurse. the patient was pronounced out
of danger, but it was decided to keep
the patient under the watchful eye of
a nurse. for he had shown symptoms Of
delirium.

Barney, aged about IA, and a younger
brother, ran on ahead of the older
boy, Jack, aged about II.
1t was near dark, and when, within
about 200 yards of the house, Barney
told his brother to go on and he
would hide and give Jack scare. He
concealed himself behind fallen tree
near tn eroad, and as Jack came along
he made slight noise. The older
boy could just catch a glimpse of
a sleeve and part of his hat below the
log, and thought in the dusk it was
o polecat He supposed both his
brothers were at the house long be-
fore. He always carried a gun, and
raising the weapon, fired at the object
under the log.
Going to see what he had shot, he
found his brother writhing in the ag-
onies of death, the entire charge of
No. shot having taken effect in the
left side Of his head and his left
shoulder. He never spoke after his
brother reached him, and only made
one convulsive movement.
