              Practically Starved Himself to Death.
              
              CAPT. WALTER S. KELSEY, well known in
            marine circles, dropped dead in his room
            at the Hotel Whitcomb, St. Joseph, aged
            60 years. He leaves a large estate, con-
            sisting of property in New York City and
            New Jersey, and vessels on Lake Michigan.
            His wealth is estmated at $500,000. CAPT.
            KELSEY was always well until a year ago,
            when he fell in love with an adventuress
            from Chicago. She jilted him and he re-
            sorted to many excesses to drown his sor-
            row. He had not touched a bit of food for
            six weeks. He leaves no family.
