SETTLE ESTATE OF
INTERIOR MAN WHO
WAS REPORTED DEAD
The ertate of Harry Monroe is bo
ng administered without his consent.
Tom Aitken, paitner of Monroe, re
ceived a telegram while on his last
trip to Fairbanks, stating that Mon
roe had committeed suicide in S.m
Francisco, and in the wire the re-1
juest was made that Aitken go
hrough the necessary formality and
through the press, began the closing
f the estate.
Now a letter has been received
*rom a well known Fairbanksan in
San Francisco, who was a personal
friend of Harry Monroe, that he had
been called to identify the remains.
He found that it was not the Monroe
in question, as the suicide was a tall
man with a heavy black mustache and
bore no resemblance to Aitken’s part
ner, although correspondence was
found on the body intimating that the
man had at one time been a resident i
of Fairbanks.
The writer of the letter just receiv
ed had been called upon by a friend
of Monroe to make the identification
and arrangements for the burial, as
the latter was 111 and could not at
tend to the matter. It is thought that
the wire to Aitken was sent by h:m ;
immediately after he had been noti
fied of the suicide, and that he has
v >t since bnen able to got in commu
nication with Aitken.
In the meantime the matter of the
closing of the estate will rest , until
such time as Harry Monroe may be
heard from and his wishes in the mat
ter be made known.— Fairbanks
