ing money sufficient to pay for the
meals and he was too proud to ask
for charitable assistance.
In many ways the circumstances
surrounding his life in this city were
very pathetic and yet the old man
seemed to look on the bright side of
things in spite of his lonely and
pinched condition. He appeared to
be n man of clean habits, of good
education and genial disposition.
Among the letters of the deceased
were several from an attorney in the
east and these letters indicated that
the old man had some sort of a claim
to II large estate in England and this
attorney was endeavoring to estab-
lish this claim for the deceased.
Coroner Day has made extensive
Investigation of the death and the
circumstances surrounding the old
mans life here and he is not yet GER

There is nothing to indicate that foul
play was committed or that the old
man had Intentionally killed himself
and it seems impossible to establish
the exact time of the death and the
circumstances that lead Linton TO
the corral.

DEATH OF AN
AGED MAN IN THIS CITY
Continued from page H.

Quincy, Ky., these letters were writ
ten i'm AN affectionate manner and the
old man had told a number OF people
here that this girl was an adopted
daughter of his.
What was apparently the last let
ter the deceased had received from
this girl told him that the girls
mother was very low and if you
want to see her alive you must come
soon.' There was another letter
signed your friend, j. n. Gilkerson, :"
evidently "A relative of the girl.
That the old man was veteran of
the war was identified by pension
papers and letters from the war de-
partment showing that he had served
as a private in the l55th regiment of
the Indiana Infantry. L. S. A.
Among the papers was found an
accident insurance policy carried on
his life for the amount of $4,000,
with the Federal Casualty company.
The policy was taken out compare
lively short time ago, The premium
was Sl.50 per month.
A receipt accompanying the policy
indicated that the policy would cX-
pire on November 10, 1905, unless II
certain additional payment was made
before that time and 10 all appear
ances this payment had not been
made.
As Fate would have il the aged
man died either ON the night of
November 18th or during an early
morning hour of November 18th. If
George A. Linton died before mid
night ON Saturday the policy might
be collected. if he died after mid
night on saturday night. then he died
ON November 18th, and the policy
was ineffective. Who can say on
which side of the hour of midnight
he passed from earth?
Again, was death accidental? Who
il was the old man started out to see
cannot he uscertained. One theory is
that he wandered to the east part of
town, ran into the corral fence, il be-
ing dark, climbed up ON the fence,
fell off the fence and inside the COR
raj as the position of the body would
indicate, and was killed by the shock
of the fall. Again, the old man
might have taken sick while walking
and was endeavoring to reach the
hospital, and had fallen as he climbed
the corral fence and died Immediate
ly.
The insurance policy is made pay
able to the estate.
During the months he has resided
here the old man solicited orders for
1.-The Globe Incorporated Association,
of Chicago" a concern that is operat-
ing a clubbing scheme to sell groc-
cries at prices far below the local
market prices. A statement in the
insurance policy, blanks, circulars,
letters. etc, among the old mans be-
longings showed his connection with
the company. Many local people will
remember having been solicited by
the old man to give him orders. He
was familiar figure on the streets.
He was of medium height, white
haired, white mustache and although
about 60 years of age appeared to be
some years younger. He was OF
slender build. 1t is known that the
old man had q hard struggle to pro
vide himself with the necessities oi
| life during his residence here but he
rarely ever complained. 1t is re
ported that he went with but one
meal day very frequently, not hav-

NEW HIGH SCHOOL

Carlsbad, n. NJ, Nov. 16-The
foundation for the new high school
building is being laid. The founda-
tion will be completed next week, and
the cornerstone laid with due cere-
monies on the 22nd. The new build
ing will cost $4,000. It will be sub
stantial two story building with five
oommodious recitation rooms on the
first floor and a chapel with a seat
Ing capacity of 1,200 on the second
floor. The school population has in
creased with jump, and is" taxing the
present capacity. The construction
OF the new building will be rushed SO
that it can be taken into use before
the close of the present school year.
The large stone school house at Nal
aga, at the south end of the project
proved too small and an addition
doubling the capacity, was finished this
fall. At Loving the capacity of the
building has also been doubled. At
Otis the large, commodious brick
school building also received a tho
rough overhauling At the present
rate of immigration, all the schools
under the project will outgraw their
capacity in another year.
