EGAN DIES At
5 GRAVE
Latter Attacked by Thugs on
Way to Dakota Was Left
to Die.

Grand Forks, N. D., April 26.-
Stricken with paralysis at the side
of the open grave Of his brother, VII
liam Egan of Port Arthur, Ont, died
yesterday, according to telegraphlc
advices received last evening by rel
atives in this city. Back of the Sec
ond tragedy there is the. striking
story of John Egan's remarkable ex-
perience which ended in his death
just week ago
John Egan, prosperous Port Ar
thur merchant, with about $500 upon
his person, left Port Arthur for
Grand Forks to visit Mrs. w. r. Jack
of this city, his sister. Ten days lat.
er, letters, indicated that Egan had
disappeared, and a search was COM
menced. Not for month was any
trace found Of him. and then he was
discovered in private hospital at
sudberry, Canada, about 100 miles
from Port Arthur. His face had been
frozen and he was not recognizable,
but picture of his mother, found in
his pocket, served to establish iden:i-
fication.
It is supposed Egan was victim of
thugs who robbed him and left him
bereft of his senses by blow, and
that he wandered about in the cold of
winter. When found he could not
talk.
William Egan made the successful
search for his brother, and brought
him home. A week ago the funeral
of John Egan was held at Port Arthur
and as William was standing at the
side of the grave, into which the
casket had just been lowered, he was
stricken with paralysis.

To which wiseacres have replied: "To get upon that other side" She takes her life within her hands when on the other side she lands. and lodging the fast-fy- ing wheels of trolley cars, automo- piles and motorcycles, she will strive into the jaws of death to dive.
