Monon News. Dr. Ray Clayton Tuesday received a letter from Arthur Riveland, of Seneca, 111., whose address was on the postal card found in the pocket of the man killed by the cars this side of MonticellQ on the 16th LnSt. Coroner Clayton wrote to Riveland for information when the inquest was held and here is his reply dated June 20th: “Dear Sir: I received your letter today. I at once recognized the card. It was one day last April that a stranger came along and wanted wprk. We gave it to him for a day and he stayed here a couple of nights. At last we found a place for him and he worked here till about a month ago. He left saying he was going to Nebraska. While he was at my place I learned his history somewhat and here it is: ' “His name was Stephen Szeniawfski. His home was near St. Petersburg, Russia. His mother was married again, but I don’t remember her name. He had no relatives in this country. He had been here two years and was 22 years old. He had worked on a ranch near Roselawn, IndL. for Chas. Otis. When he left us I gave him my card with my name on it. * * * Hoping to hear from you soon, Yours respectfnlly, Arthur Riveland, Rural Route 60. Seneca, 111.
