H. BAKEMAN showed the "Tom" had died of alcoholism. Nobody knows anything about him, except that once he was a railroad employee, whose appetite for drink brought him low and made him a outcast and a confirmed drunkard. The county will provide burial for "Tom." None knows of a relative of the fellow, whose family name even has been lost in the abandonment of his life to drink.
