Michael McShane, aged 80, miner
formerly of Ely, New, was found dead
in his room at the Beulah apartment
house, $40 Ruth avenue, shortly after
8 o'clock yesterday morning.
A ragged bullet hole in the right
side of his head and a pistol lying on
the floor near the bed told how the
man came to his Death.
McShane left note to his sister,
who also had apartments in the house,
asking her to bury him in the cheap
est manner possible.
McShane and his sister, Miss Nc
Shane, arrived in Los Angeles three
weeks ago, coming to this city direct
from Ely. The dead man had been
in ill health for some time. He came
to Los Angeles thinking the warm
and healthful climate would benefit
him.

Fifth and Ruth streets Thursday said
Miss McShane yesterday. HE was a
man who was reticent about his bust
ness affairs and 1 know but little re-
garding his interests in Nevada. lie

never discussed his mining deals with
me or my father and l cannot say how
large an amount of property he was in
terested in.

erly lived in Leadville, Colo. My
brother went from there to Ely last
March. My father and myself followed
a short time afterward We remained
there until we came TO Los Angeles.
My father remained in Ely.
my brother was Respondent because
of i'll health and worried greatly.

notified him of brothers DEATH"
A man living next door to the apart
ment house heard a muffled shot
about IL O'Clock Saturday night. He
gave the matter no attention, thinking
it might be some other noise. Nc
one in the apartment house heard the
report.
The bullet that ended McShane's life
is supposed to have been fired into the
mouth, as the jagged wound In the
right side of the head indicated the
exit. but no point of entrance could
be found.
The body was taken to the undertake
ing establishment of Pierce Bros.
where it will be held until the arrival
