AGED RECLUSE DIES IN
SQUAL0R AMID SCORES
OF STARVING ANIMALS

SWAN, .Neb. Feb. 1l-When Silas
Breen, GS, recluse who lived on a
farm 20 miles from here, failed to
appear at the postoffice for his mail
for two weeks, neighbors decided to
Investigate. Entering his tumble
down shack, the found 1t swarming
with dogs, cats and white mice. On
a neglected bed they found Breen s
body. 1t appeared that he had been
dead for days, maybe weeks.
Among the animals found about
the place were eleven small poodles,
one daschund, two water spaniels,
one 81. Bernard, eleven bulldogs,
three Scotch collies, five Airdales
and sixteen mongrels. Altogether,
there were fifty dogs, thirty-seven
cats, a cellar full of white mice and
the remains of dozen canary cages,
several broken bowls of gold fish
and barnyard of domestic animals.
All were in deplorable condition.
Breen was apparently normal. No
one knew until his death of his hobby
for animals, because no one had
ever visited him at his farm.
In his writing desk was found an
envelope containing S4500 in bills
and note asking that the money be
used in providing for the animals in
case Of his death.
Breen came to Holt county, Nebras-
ka, many years ago, with pretty
wife. Shortly after buying the farm,
his wife ran away with another man.
After that Breen had very little to
do with his neighbors, or with any
one for that matter. Several years
later, however, he married another
woman. She died during their hon
eymoon.

attempt at matrimony. With the birth

"The dress is orchid net over char

feminine effect is given by pantalet-
