IT is rumored that there may be

to be giving satisfaction, and we
have heard of no cause for such a

the past few months, but we do not

Bob Moody, who was taken to the

weeks ago, passed away at 8 o'clock
Saturday night. He suffered a para
lytic stroke some days ago, which
caused his death Strangely enough
when Mr.. Moody was seized with the
paralytic stroke his reason was re-
tored. His vocal cords were para
lyzed and he was unable to converse.
Mr.. Moody was a unique character.
He was about so years of age and was
worth in the neighborhood of $4,000.
He began life without penny start
ing as a newsboy ON a train. He early
developed remarkable business talent
and it was not long until he began to
amass considerable property. He has
made two fortunes, but the first, which
was gotten in California, was lost.
The second was made in Canada lands,
and Notwithstanding the report that
this had also been dissipated he is yet
considered quite wealthy. ..xs Z -.
