Warner says he believes the man had i ntered bis place for the purpose of se curing a suit of clothing, for when he examined the shop after the robbery, he foend most of the suits and overcoats l ing scattered over the floor, and sev eral articles appeared as though they had been hurriedly tried on.

Warner requested the man to leave him -ents for his breakfast, to which the robber replied. "With the greatest of pleasure. I hope I have not inconvenienced you to any great extent, but I have a pressing need of your slight donation. Good night." With this announcement tho fellow hastened away. He Is described as being about 5 feet 6 inches in height, wore a light brown suit of good texture, a soft light Kaster hat. and a pair of gloves protruding from the upper pocket of his coat.

Spends Last Cent for Brink and Ends Life in Boxcar After Prolonged Debanch. Joe Villa, a blacksmith, of St. Johns, committed suicide yesterday afternoon, by crawling into a boxcar and cutting his throat with a pocket-knife. Despon dency and drink are supposed to have been the causes of his act. There was not a cent of money in his pockets when his body was found. Villa was dying when found In the boxcar in front of the Standard Oil Company's warehouse on the East Side by C. S. Malley. the night watchman. A string of boxcars had just been switched Into the yard, and Malley was going around to look them over. Noticing a stream of blood dripping from one car. he- looked in and cried "Hello!" "I have cut my throat." came in a weak voice from the interior of the car. Malley did not stop to investigate, but ran to a saloon at the corner of Haw thorne avenue and East Water street, where he told of his discovery. E. T. Grazier, who was in the saloon, tele phoned to police headquarters. while others ran to the car. When they reached it Villa was dead. Patrolman Gitttngs and Jailer Endicott took charge of the body until the Coroner arrived. Villa, it is supposed, boarded the car at the Peninsula warehouse of the Stand ard Oil Company. He was fairly well dressed. Villa leaves a wife in Browns ville, Or., and has a brother-in-law work ing as a cook In some restaurant in this city. About six weeks ago Villa bought a blacksmith shop In St. Johns, on credit, but lost It. Saturday night he was In a saloon on Yamhill street and asked the bartender for a drink. He was given two. but did not have money with which to pay for them. He had been around town "broke" for the past three weeks, and it is supposed that he spent his last cent for drink. No inquest will be held. The body will be kept, awaiting word from the widow. WIRE-TAPPING SWINDLERS Four Men Under Arrest in Cleveland on Fraud Charges.
