Wealthy Recluse Dies From Wound; Thought Suicide Dying from a gunshot wound through the head, H. R. Bocott, 80- year-old civil war veteran and wealthy recluse of Benson, was found early last night about fifty feet from the county road, near Chris Lyck’s saloon, 5202 Klililary avenue. Apparently the aged man had shot himself, as the bullet entered through his mouth, in which the muzzle of a new revolver had been placed. The pistol was found at his side. He died at St. Joseph's hospital a few moments after he had been re- ceived. Nels Robertson, brother-in-law, as- serted this morning that Bocott had been worrying over financial matters lately, despite the fact that he always asserted that he was worth lots of money. He borrowed $4 from a neighbor with which to purchase the revolver that ended his life. In his effects were found stock certificates and other papers to show that up to a few years ago he had been worth much 'money. Robertson was at a loss to explain where the money went, as Bocott had lived with him in recent years and had spent little. He was a widower and is survived by a son, Herbert, in Montana, and a daughter, Mrs. Beatrice Shaner of Beaver, Pa. An inquest will be held Friday morning at 9 o’clock. American Mediators (ve in a Little and Agreement Awaited Atlantic City, N. J, Nov. 23— With the announcement tonight that the Mexican-American joint commis- sion would meet again tomorrow, “as usual,” the prospects were be- lieved to be better for an amicable agreement. It became known tonight that the commissioners have considered a slight alteration of the American pro- posal, which, if agreed to, would make probable an agreement. The sug- gested alteration would not change materially the real meaning of the program_submitted to the Mexican commissioners but would save them tlie ~humiliation of signing a docu- ment in which there appeared the formal consent of the Mexican gov- ernment for the violation of its ter- ritory by troops of the United States. West Side School District Patrons Form Organization A largely attended meeting was held at the West Side school on Tues- day evening by the parents of pupils, and friends of a movement to further social, business and educational fea- tures in this district. Paul McAuley, probation officer for many years past, presided and ex- plained the objects of “The Commun- ity Center Work.” The large delegation of women present indicated that they desire to co-operate, although apparently some- what timid to begin with. Officers as follows were elected: Judge George Collins, president; vice presidents, A. J. Bandola, Walter Fur- long and Mrs. H. O. Wilson; John J. Nightingale, secretary. The vice presidents elected were delegated to act as a committee of three on entertainment. The appointment of committees on publicity and on other business per- taining to the welfare of the organiza- tion was left over. Business meetings e are to be held every Tuesday and en- tertainment sessions every Friday: Judge P. C. Caldwell and other speakers spoke briefly. Jeisn S. Swenson Visits Old Friends in Omaha John S.

OMAHA LAD KILLED IN ROBBERY FIGHT John Davis Shot in Pistol Bat- tle as He Attempts to Rob | Drug Store in St. Louis. 3 FAMILY LIVES IN OMAHA John Davis, aged 24 years, 1512 North Twenty-cighth strect, son of Mrs. Hannah Davis of the above ad- | dress, was shot and killed in a pistol battle with a drug clirk and police- man following an attempted robbery of the Compton pharmacy. St. Louis, Mo, carly yesterday morning. A com- panion was wounded. Young Davis was born and raised in Omaha and beside his mother is survived by eight brothers and sis- ters. A telegram was received by Mrs. Davis this morning informing her of her son’s death. Surviving the lad in Omaha are Mrs. Charles Klinger, Mrs. A. T. Taylor and Mrs. J. F. Dailey, married sisters, and Mary and Veronica Davis, who live with their mother; and two brothers, George, employed in the stock yards in South Omaha, and William, work- ing at the Union Pacific shops. An- other married sister, Mrs. Catherine Campbell, resides in Memphis. Did Not Write Home. John Joseph Davis, the boy who was shot, left home some eight months ago after a little difficulty here. He went fo Montana, where he engaged in work on a railroad. From the time of his departure up to a few days ago, when his folks re- ceived a postal from him in St. Louis, he had not communicated with his parents. : . The wounded bandit, who was shot in the hip, gave his name to the St. Louis police as {ohn Alfred Lewis of Sacramento, Cal. John Davis of Omaha was identi- fied by means of his name in a coat bearing the stamp of the Glasgow Tailors, 310 South Fifteenth street, Omaha. The date of the suit’s sale was December 10, 1915, The shooting followed a series of holdups and robberies by automobile bandits in St. Louis within the last few days. The men were in a stolen car when the shooting occurred. Lewis was shot by Francis J. Cur- ran, the drug clerk, and Davis was killed by Police Sergeant John Fla- herty. The automobile/ bore a Nebraska license 4,435. Secretary of State Pool says the number was issued to J. W. Latta of Clay Center. Inquiry made at Clay Center failed to determine if Mr. Latta’s car had been stolen. Lewis is 25 years old, five feet seven inches tall, weighing 160 pounds, and has a fair complexion and brown hair, The initials, S. P., were engraved on a watch found on the body of Davis; there also was the date, De- cember 25, 1912, William Davis, brother of John, was brought before Judge Foster about a year ago in regard fo the theft of an auto, but because of his youth was not sentenced to jail. Joseph Riha, salesman for the Glas- gow _tailoring establishment, who sold Davis the suit by which he was identified, offered a description that tallied perfectly with that furnished by the St. Louis authorities, 2 At police headquarters Detective Devereese revealed a photo of the man, which was taken when he was arrested on suspicion last April as being a member of the J.
