BRAVE FIREMAN ALONE AND POOR TAKES HIS LIFE

Suffering from injuries received while working for the city, alone in the world except for a sister, and his ravings almost gone, Philip Riley, for many years a member of the fire department and captain of. No. 5 company when he left the service, three years ago. committed suicide by shooting himself through the head, probably some time yesterday, afternoon. Riley killed himself in a room in the Orand hotel. Main street, where he had been living. The" body was found by the housekeeper this morning when she entered the room to make the bed. Coroner Finds Notes. Three notes written by the veteran fire fighter, each one almost illegible, were found by Coroner Morrow. In one letter written to his, Bister, Mrs. Thomas Morris, wife of a police sergeant at Logansport, Riley informed ker that he was tired of living, having almost exhausted his funds and s suffering great pain froma spine fnjury received while a member of the fire department. Rjley, the coroner believes, was about 65 year old. About twelve years ago Riley, while a member of the No. 1 fire company, performed a feat of gallantry which earned for him the recognition of the city council and which, left him a crip

ple for life. Seeing a runaway tpnni,

dashing along North Enghth street Riley seized their, bridles and was dragged for nearly two blocks before the frightened animals were stopped. Ills spine was so badly injured that for months he was a hospital patient. Lost His Position. After he "partially recovered from his injuries he lost his position with the fire department, being incapacitated for such service at that time. Following the Colonial building blaze, when several firemen were injured, Riley was reappointed to the department and became captain of No. 5 company. It was necessary for him to quit the service three years ago. Riley had saved about $6,000 but he spent his money liberally and bis funds soon became almost exhausted. While a member of the fire department Riley was several times hurt in fighting flames. "One of the best and gamest firemen I ever knew," said Assistant Fire Chief Frank Carter when informed of Riley's tragic death. Riley was a bachelor.
