“ENGLISH NED IS DEAD.Thf Well Known Old Hunter PaMrd Am my \Yntrnliiy at llntpltnl.Edward Austin. better known na 1 “English Ned, f«*r the past twenty-five years a well-known character of this city, is dead. Where he came from ; no one knows, and of his past not one word. slt;* far as known, was ever i spoken. He was probably s venty-five I years of age, an ardent hunter and with his well-trained dog was a dally visitor to the levee. During the hunting season he managed to kill enough game, the sale of which supported him. He has for years occupied a room In the upper story of the Henry building ! on Third street. On Sunday morning he was found by Doug Hammond and D. D. Kobinson lying on the stairs leading to his room. William I Gardner, who has always befriend* d | the old man. suggest d that as he appeared sick he be sent to Sfercy hospital. D. D. Robinson sent for a carriage and the old man was tak- n there. Elis old dog, which for years had be - n his constant companion, whined mot piteously when the old man was carried away, and he in turn seemed similarly affected. To Louis Lau he entrusted the dog for safe-keeping. Just liefore he died he informed the nurse that he left his gun and dog to D. D. Robinson, and then passed away, the secret of his early life unrevealed.“English Ned was probably the best known hunt*-r In th.s section of the country, and his unerring aim and knowledge of the whereabouts of small game made him a hunting companion much to be desired. The only reference ever made by him of his past was that he came from Chicago, but whether that city was a temporary residence or his real hlt;»me, no one can say. His clothing and much of his food was furnished hv his hunting friends in the city. His ro-tm contained only a small bedstea l. a husk mattress, an overcoat and gun. The body is at Prugh’s undertaking establishment on North Fourth street.
