PHYSICIAN ASPHYXIATED. Dr. J. A. Millhouse Found Dead in 0! Columbia Hotel. g< ?? o) Columbia, Oct. 20.?Dr. J. A. Mill- ci house, of Perry, was found 'dead in *3 his room at the Imperial Hotel here this morning, and the odor of es- sc caping gas in the room showed death had been caused by asphyxiation. He was found in bed undressed and evidently had been dead some time. His V( remains were removed to a local un- ti dertaking establishment and taken 11 back to his late home at Perry on the J * * "* ' - * -- tv V> f ViCk ? midnignt tram lo-uigm., ?uci*; me q remains will be interred. a Dr. Millhouse reached the city yes- l terday at noon, and registered at the p Imperial Hotel. Before retiring he ti left a call for 9 o'clock this morning, fc Along in the night it is said that el some men in the room next to Dr. j? ' Millhouse heard groans and they notified the .office. ( Entrance Xot Affected. *>' A bell boy was sent up to the room, ? but he failed to get any response, tl and returning obtained a pass key and tried to get in that way, but the ^ door was bolted on the inside and he ^ failed to get in. However, by this 0] tifne the groans had ceased and the - 11 Q1 boy left, thinking everything was an i ~ right. I This morning the boy was sent up tl to Dr. Millhouse's rom at 9 o'clock ti to call him as he was instructed. He ^ failed to get any response to his repeated knocks and as the door was o< locked on the inside and he couldn't m get in he went for assistance. This ? **i' 2i was secured, the transom was forced and the boy entered the room over e] the transom. The room was filled with the odor of gas and Dr. Millhouse was found in bed, undress|d and dead. si The theory is that Dr. Millhouse in at turning off the electric light left a gas jet on and the mistake was made * in this way. It is supposed that he p< must have been suffering from indi- v< gestion and that this was the cause iE of the groans heard in the night. Body Taken Home. pi The body was taken in charge by cc a local undertaking establishment. Adjt. Gen. Moore, who was a friend ^ of the dead man, lent what assistance si he could, and the people at Perry be- tt ing notified, E . J. D. Dodenhoff and others wired from there that they would be up on the first train and to p< have the remains prepared for ship- w ment back to Perry. This was done ^ and Dr. Dodenhoff and friends arriv- w ed on the first train and took the el body back to Perry to-night. oi Dr. Millhouse was about 56 years fc of age and a prominent physician of Perry, and came from one of the a most prominent families in the State. His wife, who was a Miss Salley, survives him with several children. DIVIDE REV. WOLFE'S ESTATE. g( S< Spartanburg Minister Disappeared ai from Home Thirteen Years Ago. n 4 Spartanburg, Oct. 11.?Suit has ^ been brought in the courts of this ]i] v county to have Rev. W. P. Wolfe, a ai minister, who disappeared from! ^ Spartanburg thirteen years ago, ad- t0 judged dead in the eyes of the law, l< that his estate may be divided among ai his children, whom he left, and who have not heard of their father since R the day of his departure from home, rc saying he was going to Asheville. lii When he left he owned three lots ?? and two buildings at the corner of is Wofford and Wolfe streets, the lat- to ter named in honor of the depaiHed vi minister. From the day Mr. Wofford qi s left Spartanburg until now no word a(; has come to his family, either di- su \ rectly or indirectly from the man. tn He has been completely swallowed up by the earth. The five children _j heirs want to divide the property W] and settle the estate. tu ti< BLEASE PAROLES BARBER. in n? Gets His Liberty on Condition He a]! Leaves the State. cq Chas; H.
