J STRANGE EXPERIENCE atin KENNEY, AGED TORONTO| MAN,' ' DIED- IN THE HOSPITAL. Had Drawn Money to Enjoy Vaca- tion at the Seashore, But Was Tak. en Ill and Lost His Bearings -- Thought He Was in Montreal on Regaining Consciousness at Local Hospital. David Kenney, the aged Toronto man, who was taken off a G.T.R. train a few days ago, in a helpless condition, and who had $1,360.27 in his possession, died in the General Hospital on Friday morning at three o'clock. Ascording to information he gave at the hospital, Kenney had a strange experience, When he reached the hospital, on to be running a hizh temperature, and the whole system had been inactive for several days, but with a little toning and clearing up, he regained consci- ousness and told how it all happened. He bad drawn his money from the Bank of Toronto, intending to spend some time at the seashore, went to Montreal and from there to Quebec, but concluded that the cool breezes were not agreeing with him, hence returned to Montreal, where he con- sulted a doctor, who recommended him to go to the hospital. At that time he apparently lost his bearings, as he thought he was in the Montreal General Hospital, when he regained consciousnes. He was never able to even guess at how much money he had, but told of being in the employ of the Rennie, Seed Company for twenty-eight years. He is English born," unmarried, and has.given no indication as to where his relatives are, The Rennie Seed Company was. no- tified some few days ago of his ill- ness, and on Friday of his death. The body has been handed over to S. 8. Corbett, undertaker, awaiting orders from Tgronto. He was seventy-three years of age. Military News Major<Gen.
