out OF his room since Friday evening.
A short time afterward. however, they
heard Riley snoring as IL he were
sleeping comfortably and they decided
he was alright.
1t was not until afternoon that they
became alarmed that something was
wrong and at O'clock Olston went In
and attempted to waken him. He
could not arouse Riley and sent for a
physician, who made an examination
and at once ordered him to be taken
to the hospital Every effort to
arouse the sleeping nan failed, how
ever, and he passed away at $3.50.
1t is the belief OF Mr.. Olston that
Riley took a heavy dose Of morphine
to relieve his feeling Of sickness and
to enable him to sleep and that later
he got up and took another dose, be-
ing partially under the influence of the
drug, he took too much the second
time.
Riley has no near relatives living in
the west. He has two sisters, Miss
Lou Riley and Mrs. A. Cole, both liv-
ing at Rochester, NJ. Y They have
been wired and an answer is awaited
before funeral arrangements are made.
Coroner Skelsey decided today that

Fargo has been turned over to merry
makers at shutdown for the past two
nights and pranks practiced for gener-
arons with others not so aged, were
worked without any great property loss
while Halloween was celebrated AS
Ia whole there was little evidence Of
righteousness on the part Of the youth.
With no intent to injure or harm
anyone, a bunch Of youngsters on the
northside made one individual think
that the end of the world had come.
Encouragement had been made by the
organization to disturb structure in
the rear of a residence. A rope was
noosed about the top by an advance
committee.
1t happened that when the gang ar
rived. the place was occupied by the
gentleman of the household. That was
unbeknown 10 the boys and over II

scampered off. Neighbors came to the
rescue Of the imprisoned man, the
structure was rolled over and he was
rescued, little the worse for the ex-
perience.
Had Narrow Escape.
The pranks of a bunch of boys near
ly cost the life OF one youngster. A
gang OF boys picked a pile OF lumber
between the Y. M. G. A. and the Grand
theatre. A little fellow was passing
on the other side, unaware OF the dan
ger that he was in. Men passing by
rescued the little chap, just as the
pile toppled over. 1t was by the mar
rowest margin that his life was saved.
