HE MAY BE "SCOTTY."
Unknown Man Delirious and Dying in
q Hospital.

Chicago, Jan. 8.-Strapped to a cot in
hospital raving in delirium and dying
from a double fracture of the skull and
hemorrhages of the brain, is an un-
identified man of apparent wealth and
refinement, who was found robbed,
beaten and unconscious in the zero cold
of Wednesday night.
The police are inclined to discredit the
theory that the man was struck by an
automobile, or that he fell out of one,
for the reason that there was no dirt on
his clothes. Then, too, his wounds are
not such as he would have received in
such an accident.
1t was believed he might be Walter
Scott. the Death Valley miner, who
was q guest at a local hotel recently
with a man of the name of Campbell
He left some days ago and his where
abouts since are unknown.
The dying man wore collar on
which was the name Campbell" and
once in his semidelirium, when ques-
toned he gave the name Scott" In
quiry among the westerner's acquaint-
ances disclosed that in his build and
general appearance he differs from the
man at the hospital.
The police admit that all indications
In the case point to brutal attempt at
murder. From the fact that all identi-
flying marks were removed from the
victims clothes and that no papers of
any description were found in his pock-
cts he may have been attacked by an
enemy who had reasons for wishing to
kill and remove all possibility of

The property was purchased by j.

"At the time I purchased The prop

paid for it.
''It win be only question of time
when we will be compelled to have

TO SEARCH FOR COOK.
An Expedition Is Being Organized in
New York

New York, Jan. 8.-A relief expedition
to search for DR.. Albert J. Cook, the
Arctic explorer. who left New, York on
July 4, 1907, seeking the North Pole, is
being organized here. A Brooklyn min
lister, the Rev. DIR. John Lewis Clark,
has charge of collecting the necessary
funds to fit out a ship, which will
amount to about $4,000. Dillon Wallace,
who has had some experience in the
Arctic and Chester Beecroft, both of
New Rochelle, will jointly command the
vessel if the plans are a success. Mrs.
Cook is said to be deeply interested in
the proposal
1.-THE last news from Dr. Cook was
brought by Rudolph FRANKIE. of the
Peary expedition, from Cape Hubbard
in the early part of 190S," said Mr.. Bee
croft, land since then Mrs. Cook has
had no word from her husband. She
is confident that he has either discov-
cred the North Pole or has been strand
ed in Ellesmerland, Grantland, or on the
small island known as Crokerland,
which was discovered by. Commander
Peary. When DR.. Cook delivered the
letter to Mr.. FRANKIE he was some dis
tance to the north Of Ellesmerland.
