VINO died in that city recently.
The body of Matches Louis" whose
correct name was Louis CASTOR, was
found by the police of Rochester lying
in a shack in all advanced state of de-
composition. 1t is supposed to have
been there a week or more before be-
ing found.
In the same house with the body was
found an insane friend who. when ques-
toned by the police, stated that he
had been feeding the corpse several
times each day. He was sent to an
insane asylum.
Is An UNCLE.
Both Mrs. Cochran and Mrs. Clay
horne are nieces of the dead man,
their mother being a full sister.
Their attention was called to Cas-
tons death by an aunt living in Ro-
chester. Both Immediately notified
the coroner at that place that they
were relatives Of the man and were
ordered to presen. tsoir claims. They
are the only heirs.
Mrs. Cochran states that she will
have no difficulty in proving the au-
thenticity Of her claims She has an
aunt living at Toddville, Iowa, who re-
members her mother as being a sister
OF Caston's. The only opposition tc
her claims she declares likely to come
from her uncle's housekeeper.

Matches Louis" has history that
is decidedly unique. Born in France,
he came to this country when he was
Is years of age and settled at Roches-
ter with his mother.
Both were inmates of the almshouse
at Rochester in the early SOS After
spending several years in the institu-
ton, CASTOR secured permission to ped
die matches, and for many years he
was a familiar figure on the streets of
Rochester.
Several we'll known families took an
interest in the young man A certain
Judge Selden was especially kind to
him. and a short time after the judge
died CASTOR assumed the name of Sell
den.
For many years after he assumed the
name OF Selden, CASTOR occupied a lit
tie house in Rochester, and had cards
printed and sent broadcast announc-
ing tha- Louis l.. Selden was the sew
enth son Of a seventh son and was
possessed of supernatural powers.
HAD BIG FORTUNE.
As he grew older CASTOR apparently
became badly deranged mentally.
while his misery tendencies grew
stronger each day. The manner of
his death is not known.
In looking over his possessions, Off
Gals found one bank book containing
a certificate of deposit for $4,000.
two other totaling $4,000, real estate
valued at $4,000, and mortgages which
brought the total up to $4,000.
This entire amount will be awarded
to the two Rock Island heirs, unless
others with better claims are found.
Mrs. Cochran today stated that
while she had not yet started to plan
what she would do with the money,
she was certain of one thing-none
of it would be wasted.
