Police Ryan, Assistant Chief Lane and County Jailer Boone Peak
believe the unknown man, who dropped dead near the Union Depot

establishment of Weiland and McCreary, is named Evans. The officers
viewed the remains yesterday, and all are of the opinion that
the unknown is a man who was arrested several weeks ago and sent
to jail on a theft charge. The accusation was in connection with
the loss of a lot of wash from a laundry wagon, and a charge
of theft was sworn out against a man named Evans by the driver
of the wagon. Evans remained in jail about three weeks, and was
later released when the charge was dismissed by Judge Whitehurst. - o o o -
CHARGE MADE _____ NECTION WITH DEATH OF WIFE. Charged
by complaint with murder, Willis Munden, the young Dallas
county farmer, whose wife, Alice, was found dead in the
sitting room of their home last Wednesday morning, was arraigned
before Justice of the Peace Looney of Cedar Hill, this morning,
and held in $1500 bail to await the action of the grand jury.
Mrs. Munden came to her death from the effects of a target rifle
wound inflicted in the breast near, or through, the heart. It
was at first thought that she had committed suicide. A scribbled
note found on a table in the room, in which mention was made
of an intermittent estrangement between husband and wife, lent
to this theory. - o o o - "Pop" Woodard, the aged negro man who was found dead in the back end of his restaurant at Jefferson and Jackson streets some two weeks ago, came to his death from natural causes, according to the coroner's verdict returned by Justice of the Peace T. A. Work, this morning.

by a small boy, who was passing through the park. He notified
his mother, who, in turn, notified the police. Mounted Officer
E. R. Williams answered the call. He realized, at once, that
the man was in a serious condition, and sent in a call for Dr.
W. M. Lively. An automobile was secured, and the man carried
to his home, where the doctor did all that human skill could
do to save his life. The fiery acid, however, had done its work,
and death came in a short time after the doctor reached the stricken
man. - o o o - The body of Mrs. Martha M. Roy, who died yesterday at the Baptist Sanitarium, was shipped this morning to Sweetwater, Texas, by the Chas. F.

one of the best known Jewish residents of Texas when G. A. Levi
died this morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. N. F. Wertheimer,
on South Ervay street. For years, Mr. Levi had been prominent
in the affairs of Victoria, where he resided for many years,
and was also prominent in state affairs. He was a well known
philanthropist and gave much in the name of charity. Up to a

street. Rev. William H. Greenburg of Temple Emanu-El will officiate
at both the home and the grave. Interment will be in Emanu-El
cemetery. - o o o - The death
of G. A. Levi is a most serious loss to Texas. In recent
years, little known outside of a circle of friends who appreciated
his efforts to help his fellow man, Mr. Levi was happy in his
modest efforts to assist in relieving the sufferings of his less
fortunate neighbors. Early in life, he made a fortune in by quiet
industry. During his declining years, Mr. Levi spent that fortune
in the name of charity. Trained as a business man from early
youth, his philanthropy in later life was along the same practical
business lines. Although reared in Victoria, where he lived for
many years, and enjoyed the love and affection of his fellow
citizens, he decided to come to a larger city, where his opportunities
for charitable work offered a wider field. Although he had been
a resident of Dallas only about two years, he was at the head
and the most enthusiastic leader in the Jewish charitable organizations
of this community. Often, charity is the stepping stone of some
rich person to higher social position. Frequently, alms are selfishly
given by clever climbers to earn for them a higher rung in the
ladder of fame. Not so, with G. A. Levi. The best evidence was
from one of his dearest friends, who telephoned The Times Herald
yesterday of Mr. Levi's death. This friend said: "Don't
say much about Mr. Levi. He would not want any extended write-up.
Just put in a modest little notice that he has passed away. It
would be his request." - o o o - ON STREET CORNER _______ known in Dallas, Was Found Dead Last Night About 10 O'clock. M. Doorley,
of Cedar Falls, Iowa, was found dead at the corner of Wood and

rendered a verdict to the effect that death was from natural
causes. - o o o - George Miller, aged thirty-two years, died at St. Paul's sanitarium this morning at about 1 o'clock. He lived at 2013 Cabell street and is survived by his wife.

H. Evans, aged fifty-nine years, died at St. Paul's sanitarium
about 1 o'clock this morning. He was born in Alabama and had
come to Dallas ten days ago to visit his sister, Mrs. Katy E.
Henderson, of this city. He was taken sick shortly after his
arrival here and was taken to St. Paul's sanitarium, where he
died this morning. He is survived by two sisters, Mrs. E. J.
Butler, Bryan, Tex., and Mrs. Katy E. Henderson, Dallas, and
one brother, J. W. Evans, of Abilene, Tex. - o o o - The body of Frank X. Deckelmayer, who died last Tuesday, was shipped to Galveston last night at 11:15 o'clock by George W. Loudermilk, undertaker, where interment will be made this afternoon.

B. Murphy, the 5-year-old son of A. J. Murphy, died yesterday
at the St. Paul Sanitarium, as the result of swallowing a "four-penny"
wire shingles nail a little over three weeks ago. When the little
fellow swallowed the nail, it passed into his windpipe and down
into his lungs and did not cause him any pain at once. Later,
the boy's parents decided to bring him to this city for an operation,
and he was taken to the St. Paul's Sanitarium, where he was operated
upon about a week ago. The nail was successfully removed, and
for a few days, it seemed as though he would recover, as he was
