all about him. After the accounts
were all arranged and the written
statement made out. Mr.. Shields left
It lying on the desk and went out 10

As 1t developed later a gust Of
wind from an opening door must
have blown the box once statement

gazed toward the ceiling. then did
quite good deal Of thinking for a
hull dog. "Here," said Bunk, ''is

game" As "Bunk's" ideas Of real
ization led to assimilation, he
promptly put them into effect and
swallowed the statement Of the re-
ceipts Of the show.
This ended the first act of the
tragedy. The sequel came when
Manager Himmelein and Treasurer
Shields started to settle up. AS W
know the statement was gone. M

of sigh. Light broke upon Mr.

over. Upon his lower lip was 9

|HANOR FOUND DEAD
IN LAFAYETTE, IND.
Wei Known Bartender and Saloon
Man Is Taken Suddenly By
Heart Failure.
Mr.. Hanor Formerly Resided in
clarksburg. Being Employed at
Arlington and Other Hotels

Erie Hall Hanor. proprietor Of the
saloon at 422 Main street, Lafayette,
Ind. was found dead in the bath
room at his home. SIS North Fifth
street in that city at 12:45 O'Clock
Christmas morning by his wife.
Mr.. Hanor had not been feeling
well all day. but remained at his
place of business until midnight,
when he was feeling so bad that he
called a carriage to take him to his
home. After he entered the house,
he went up stairs and was almost ex-
hausted when he reached the second
floor. He called HIS wife to the door
Of her sleeping apartment and asked
her to take his coat as he intended
to go to the bath room. He re-
NAMED in the room long enough to
arouse his wife's suspicion and she
went to the bath room. The door
was closed and she called to him. He
did not answer and she opened the
door. She found him sitting on a
chair perfectly motionless. He was
unable to talk and Mrs. Hanor Inn
mediately called DR.. Webster. When
he arrived he found that Mr.. Hanor
was dead.
Mr.. Hanor had been suffering
with asthma for some time and his
heart had been giving him some
trouble. He was a very large man
and was suffering from the effects OF
"a severe cold Monday. It is be-
'lieved that his sudden death was
caused by heart trouble. Charles
H. Powell, deputy coroner. was noti-
fed of Mr.. Hanor's death and went
to the residence to make an investi-
CATION.
Mr.. Hanor was born in Hudson.
N. Y, on January 2, 1851, and was
reared In that city. He went to
Lafayette on July 4, 1906, from
Clarksburg, wehre he had been con-
nected for some time with the Arl-
ington hotel. Soon after he went to
Lafayette he purchased the saloon at
429 Main street from Paul Metzger
and remained in charge of It until
his death. He was a man Of genial
disposition and made great many
friends during his short residence IN
that city. A widow alone survives
and the sympathy of the community
goes out to her In her sudden be-
reavement. The remains were TAX
en- to Washington, D. c., for inter-
ment.

The drug store Of D. L. Grove.
on West Pike street near the Union

The exact hour of the burglary Is
not known, but was between 1890
O'Clock. the hour the store was
closed. and { O'Clock Thursday
morning. when the store was opened
for the business of the day.
Thur Brooks, who has charge of
the drug store during the absence of
Mr.. Grove closed the store at 1880

it Thursday morning. and discovered
that burglary had been committed
The rear window was broken in.
through which the burglar entered.
The cash drawer, other drawers and
receptacles were standing open and
articles were missing. An investiga-
ton disclosed the fact that two bot
ties Of cocaine, a half dozen bottles
of morphine. and quite an amount of
chemicals had been stolen, though
no money was taken as what there
was in the store was concealed In a
drawer, that had been opened by the
burglar.
The services of Nv. scarade-s

the Imperial saloon. thence to the
Corner saloon. thence down the al
ley and across to the Oak and Man
haitian, thence through to the rear of
the Latstetter place, where they lost
the scent and did not regain 1t.
On account of the rail that fell
and the sleet that formed after the
burglary the dogs were unable to
successfully keep the trail. and,
therefore. failed to run down the
burglar.
Several persons we're under suspic-
ion all the day as the influences of
coke were plainly and freely visible
AS Mr.. Brooks closed the store for
the night, he was approached by a
suspicious looking person. who re-
quested him to reopen the store and
sell him some cocaine. The request
was refused. 1t is thought this may
have been the one who broke into the
store. He was short in stature.
wore dark clothes and had on a
crushed hat.
H. L. Harry, co1ored, was arrest

him $4,000 and sent him to Jail for

taken to the jail and tried to get into
his cell.
