Quinn, who was a lodger in the Arcata House when it was destroyed by fire, and who Wwas thereafter taken to the County Infirmary suffering. from burns. Another man named Quinn, who was admitted to the institution about the same. time, died on July 15, and, being without funds,.was buried in\the potter's fleld. Howard Osgood, to whom J. C. Quinn entrusted such books ahd papers as he did not want to take to the County In- | irmary, saw the notice of Quinn's death. Osgood sypposed .that it referred to his friend, o, 'he turned the books and pa- pers over the the Public Administrator. Quinn wrote a note to Osgood, asking for some articles in his possession, where- upon Osgbod immediately telephoned to *| the infirmary, and, finding Quinn alive, notified the Public-Administrator. Next Monday morning Quinn will ap- pear in court and ask that the petition for letters of administration on his es- | tate be.revoked on the ground that he is not dead, as alleged by the Public Admin- istrator. —_————————— " Investigates Poverty Plea. , July 3L—The case of Ane who.stolg a bicycle from J.
