Yesterday afternoon John How

local police station and complained
that he was i'll. He was able to walk
and was directed to the Office of DR..
]. c. Souders, county poor physician.
Howminsky never reached the doc
tor, but according to reports, spent
the night in the east end bluff Sec
ton, where he visited saloons. Early
this morning a cali was received at
the police station that a man was
lying in the gutter near Forty-fourth
street and Tenth avenue.
The ambulance was sent to the vi
cinity and located Howminsky at
Forty-third street and Seventh ave-
nue.. He was taken to st. Anthony's
hospital and attended by DR.. Soud-

weak and this afternoon at 1880
death occurred. 1t is thought that
the man was suffering with rheuma-
