                  FALL CAUSE OF PAUPER'S DEATH
                  
                  JOHN MANLEY WAS INTERESTING 
               CHARACTER AT THE COUNTY POOR FARM
               
        JOHN MANLEY, aged 82 years, one of the interesting
      characters at the St. Clair county poor farm, passed
      away this week as the result of injuries sustained
      when he fell in the county house barn. The aged man
      fell in a stall and before he could pick himself up
      he was stepped upon by a cow. He was buried in the
      poor farm cemetery.
        MANLEY never was married. He was born in Ireland
      and was educated for a Catholic priest, but for some
      reason or other he did not enter the priesthood. He
      came to America many years ago and settled in Port
      Huron. For years he ran a dray, but he did not ac-
      cumulate any money and when he was too old to work
      it became necessary to take him to the poor house.
        At the poor farm the old man took care of the
      horses and cattle and kept everything in order in
      the barns. His excellent education resulted in his
      being able to converse with all visitors at the
      poor house and in the years he lived there he made
      many friends.
        MR. MANLEY'S accident occurred last fall and
      although he was given the best of attention by
      DR. H. C. MUDGE his old age made it certain that
      he could not fully recover.
