This letter, which was opened by the
officers after all hope OF saving the man 5
life seemed 20 be gone, says thar the
writer had known not one day OF happi-
ness since his trouble in Diamondvillc.
three years ago; but there is no eXplana-
tion as to what the trouble was.
Comfort in Religion.
Crosby adds that only the gospel holds
any consolation for him, and then says
10 his brother.
DO anything you can for me In the
Temple IL Is surely mighty and glori-
Gus church"
He writes that no one is to blame for
TO father or mother. God only knows
what Will happen next" The remainder
OF his farewell message is rather ram
bling and incohcTent. He speaks OF blood
poisoning having developed In his leg, but
there was nothing in his appearance 10

WAIF OF the Street
DIES IN OLD SHED
John Monroe, Tamaie Man, Is
Seized With Hemorrhage
and Expires.

John Monroe. aged "a, a cripple, la
male man, consumptlye and Victim Of al
cohol. homeless. frlcndlcss, ponnllcss,
died Saturday afternoon of hcmorrhagc,
in an old shed at the rear OF 2j2 South
State street The remains. after being
viewed by acting Coroner II. T. Smith,
were removed TO the morguc of Under
taker 5. ID. Evans, where they now lie
Death Came Quickly.
About o'clock Monroe was observed
by William Davies, n youth. Of l57 West
First South street to be standing in the
doorway OF the shed smoking Il pipe and
looking as well as usual. Questioned as
TO what he was doing there. Monroe said
he was about TO change his clothes lie
stepped Into the interior and began to re-
move his outer garments, when he Was
seized with the hcmorrhaEc. He rushed
to the door. blood flowing from his mouth,
thcn staggered TO the reor OF the build
Ing. fell down and died before medical
aid could be summoned.
Officers Notified.
James a. Clinkenbcard, a tobacconist,
whose State street stand is only few
rods away, notified the police station as
soon as the mans plight was discovered.
but he was dead before the officers could
reach the place. Coroner Smith was
then notified and had the body removed
TO the morguc.
Monroe was a typical waif OF the street,
Of whom little Is known. lie had no reg
ular rooms. but spent his nights on the
street selling tamalcs and slept during
the morning hours I'm out OF the way

tie kindnesses he stated that he had
neither family nor relatives.
Came From Idaho.
Monroe came here about three years
ago from Idaho where he had been en-
ploycd a shcepherder For several
months he has plainly been I'm the last
stages Of consumption. and he was also
victim OF alcoholism. II is not likely
that any Inquest Will be deemed neces-
sary The body Will probably be buried
at the expense of the county
