accountable way he fell down one
fight OF stairs, fracturing his skull
at the base. The hotel proprietor,
Mr. r. J. O'Connell, heard the fall
and at once went TO his assistance,
finding him badly injured. DR..

examination, stated that his skull /
was fractured Everything that was
possible was done for the sufferer
but he expired at 8 p. m. He form
