Depository for Unidentified Dead a
Gruesome Place. ~ .
1t is a gray building nesting along
the black and drear water front Of
the East River at the foot of Twenty
ninth street-a building from which
emanates an affluence of shuddering,
creeping horror, writes O. o. McIn-
tyre Of New York. Now and then the
neighborhnod rings with q shrill
piercing scream. Followed by muffled
means of white faced men and women
wringing hands in despair
Hobbling ghouls in brown-denimed
sack suits sit in thick and lethargic
silence about the doorway waiting
for black wagons-wagons that come
and go with the regularity of clock
beat, leaving their gruesome loads,
At night vagrant bats from nearby
warehouses beat against the walls.
And off in the river the soft swish of
lonely paddle or the sound Of a
boatman's night song.
The building is the depository for
the city's unidentified dead-the NOR
que. In the gloomy interior as for
bidding as the tomb, are rows upon
rows of drawers, to each one of which
is thumb tackled a white card bear
ing an almost illeglble scrawl and
number.
Perhaps girl of the cabarets
washed up from the over flowing
waters. The gangster pistoled through
the skull. 4 woman in silks and sat-
ms with acid-seared lips and all iden-
tifcation removed. The disillusioned
from all walks Of life. All are there
in numbered drawers in various
stages Of decomposition.
Into the waiting room, feebly light
cd, come the trembling relatives with
faces of ghastly pallor-the aristocrat
and bourgeoisle. All hoping against
hope. Sulen phlcgmatic attendants
take them one by one into the Hall of
Death to gaze upon the hotsam and
jctsam-thc human offal of a great
city.
Veteran reporters Injured to the
sordid and tragic, never go to the

Mrs. Worth s. Lee.

Mrs. Worth Lee died Saturday
morning at three o'clock, after d
lingering illness covering a period
OF about three years. The sad news
of her death came as shock to the
community.
Cecilia Murphy was born at Calu-
met, Michigan, April IL, 1884, the
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. d. d. Muir
ply. She attained her education In
the schools of Calumet and Detriot,
training especially in kindergarten
work. She was talented musician,
and music played very important
part in her life. Coming to Mountain
Home she taught the primary work
for two years; was married Septem-
Der 25, 1907 to Worth s. Lee. Sho
was Past Matron Of the Eastern,
and was an influential club worker.
Mrs. Lee was loved by all who
knew her and was quiet and un-
assuming in her way, slipping quiet
ly and tenderly into the lives OF
every one. To her, life was a goodly
place where JOY and laughter en-
tered into the growth OF living,
whether in sunshine or storm. Her
influence will linger long in the
memory of her words and the frag-
rance OF her deeds and service OF
love.
Besides the husband there is left
father and mother at Calumet,
Michigan, and three sisters, Mrs.
Angus Kerr at Springfield, ILL.,, Mrs.
Minnie Bayne at Seattle and Mrs.
Frank Blackinger of Boise. The
brother, Bert Murphy died the past
February.
The two sisters, Mrs. Blachnger
and Mrs. Bayne just returned to
their homes the past week. Mr.. Lees
sister Miss Margaret Lee Of Tenn
essee has been here the past four
months taking care Of Mrs. Lee.
During the flu epidemic in 1918
Mrs. Lee was stricken with the mall
aday, from which she failed to en-
tirely recover. A sanitarium in
California was visited in hopes of
beneficial results, without success,
and also trip east with the same
result. Funeral arrangements await
the arrival of Mrs. Blsckinger.
