Mystery Still Surrounds Cause Of De-

Mystery Still Surrounds Cause OF De-
mise of James Robb.
Soecial to Times Republican.
Mason City, Jan. 21.-The mystery
surrounding the death of James Robo
here yesterday morning is still mys-
terry, none Of the events since the dis :
ccyery Of his body having tended to
shed any light on the affair. Mrs 4.
IS. Catlin, who found the man lying at
the side of his bed dead when she
called him as usual at in the morn
ing. says that he did not leave the
house on the night of his death after
o'clock. Two men called yesterday at
tho undertaking rooms where the body
is kept and stated that they had played
pool down town with Robb until IL
o'clock on the night when his death
occurred.
Word has been received from his
wife in Kansas City, Kan, ordering
that the body be shipped there. A post
mortem failed to indicate any evidence
of foul play or violence but the testi-
rnony at the inquest, which Isl being
held today, may bring out facts which
will tend to clear up the mystery. Robb
had been perfectly well and healthy
and apoplexy, which under the cir
cumstances, seems improbable, appears
to be the only likely cause OF his
death.

Toronto. Ont, Jan. 21-James J. Hill
of the Great Northern railway has
given $4,000 to the new Friends col

a Canadian, and his interests in the
Friends dates back to his boyhood,
when he attended a Friends seminary
at lockwood, Ont, near which place he
was born.
