pected to die before long. Finn SAYS
that prior to his residence in Mn
neapolis the man lived in PHILADELPHIA
Outside Of the above, Finn knew but
little about the dead man.
Dead on the Floor.
About 8 o'clock this morning, the
cook at the Hotel Webster found an
old man known as GRANDPA" Fox
lying dead on the floor of the kitchen.
He at once notified the proprietor uf
the house who in turn notified the
coroner and the body was taken 10
the Gard morgue.
One evening about three weeks ago
an old man stopped at the rear win
dow of the hotel and asked for some
thing to eat. He said that he had
come here from Devils Lake and that
ne wanted a place to work for his
board and lodging.
Although the Webster was not need
ing man, kind hearted people about
the hotel gave him a place to sleep
and all he could eat and he in turn
did odd chores about the place. He
slept in the kitchen and last night on
account Of the intense heat and TO get
more air he placed his mattress on
the floor, and he was lying on it dead
when discovered this morning. 1t Is
supposed that he died from heat pros
tration.
He never talked much about himself,
but said that his name was Fox He
was about 65 years Of age and was
called Grandpa" by the people about
the hotel. He was a Dleasant old MAJ,
and had made friends with all The
Undertaken will endeavor to ascertain |
T he has any relatives.
The old man had evidently been en-
oying a smoke before ,he went to his
'ed, for his pipe was tightly cIenched
n his hand when he was found.

by l.. r. CLAWS, former chief
of the field division of the
land office, Attorney Gen

made public the report Of his
investigation of the case, at
the direction Of President
Taft.
Wickersham declared that
the insinuations and charge
of improper action on the
part of Ballinger and other
officials were, in his opinion,
entirely disproved.
He takes occasion to score CLAWS
severely, and declares that the
charges against Ballinger were
filed as the result of CLAWS "exag-
gerated idea of his own import
ance"
Wickershain also scored CLAWS
for not pressing the investigation
Of the Cunningham Alaska claims.

for from the interior department
had been Immediately forthcoming
and all the data in the case was in
his hands"
CLAWS, he stated, continually pro-
crastinated and put off the compile

tinual ground that should the case
be taken Immediately to trial he
would be compelled to prosecute
without adequate evidence. He re-
cites CLAWS connection with the
case and concludes with a lengthy
summary, completely clearing Bal

A Scarcity
of Bana mas
in Spok ane

There is scarcity of banan-
as in Spokane, and some of the
retail groceries have not been
able to obtain them for several
days. This Is due to the rail-
road strike, which tied up the
refrigerator cars, in which the
bananas have been shipped to
the commission houses. Many
of the commission houses are
out of bananas or have but a
very limited stock, and there
is no relief In sight.
During the holidays many
stores sold bananas that had
refused to ripen in the proper
way because of exposure in
delayed shipments due to the
strike. Instead af the bright
yellow of the ordinary banana
this mis-ripened fruit had a
reddish color, as though it had
passed through fire sale.

CHICAGO, Jan. 6.-The
boldest black hand murder
in the history of Chicago was
1sMmitted shortly after day
Tight today. Three men en-
tered the home of ,Benitto
Cienni, a rich Italian dry
goods merchant, held hia
wife off at a revolver's point
and deliberately shot Cienni
to death as he lay in bed.
Mrs. Cienni opened the
door at the bell call. Three
unidentified Italians enter
ed, one of them Selling her
and holding a revolver
against her head. His COM
panions entered the bedroom
where the merchant lay
sleeping. Mrs. Cienni heard
three shots, then the couple
emerged, holding a smoking
revolver.
The three strangers left
the house by the front door.
Rushing into the bedroom,
Mrs. Cienni found her hus-
band dead, with three bullet
holes in his body. Two years
ago Cienni received a Black
Hand letter, demanding pay
ment of $4,000, on pain of
death. He ignored the de-
mand. The last letter was
received a year ago.
The police believe that the
murder was planned at that
time, the assassins awaiting
a favorable opportunity for
carrying it out.

day to be arraigned.
Roehl will not recover, according
to physicians.
