Another Instance of the belief among
the forelKn element that "n dead man
Is no good" was brought to light yM.
terdnj', r.nd while the victim still lhvs,
hid chances for recovery wore mater
ially lessened through the hearties:"
conduct of a "boarding boss."
John Yocob, a Polander, residing
With Michael (,'abolle, of Twenty-second
etrcet, was taken violently 111 and
fears were entertained by bis friend
for his recovery. The boarding house
keener feared the man would die and
tinned him out of doors to battle with
his malady tin best he could. A child
was burled from the house yesterday
afterii'i.in and this fact was consid
ered an ill omen.
The unfortunate victim was left to
die, and being In a helpless condition,
lay In the beat of the sun for some
time, .lames Callahan, who keeps a
hotel nearby, endeavoied to persuade
the bonrdlnc boss to take the man In
and secure u physician, but Cubolle
was obdurate and refused to have
anything to do with Voenb, claiming
that ho was already Indebted to him
for board and hu did not want to bo
held responsible for the funeral ex
penses. Callahan notified Lieutenant 'Williams
nnd ho referred the ease to Dr. M. J.
"Williams, who Issued 11 permit for the
man's admission to the West Side
hospital. The victim was nsslsted to
the hospital by Callahan and a fellow
countryman, and will be examined this
morning.
Ho complained of pains in his stom
nch nnd was almost too weak to stand
on his feet when taken to the hospital.
Hofore his friends departed Yo?ob
showed his appreciation of their kind
ness towards him bv giving them all
the money ln had, thirty-five cents.
If the man dies the boarding boss
will be charced with criminal negll-
