Vpuece.sary Ipoue.,s by Ceroner.,


At the inquest held upon the manner of the
death of James Price, yesterday, DIR. L. p. Bush
having slated the obvious cause Of the death read
the following
wish to justify myself before this jury, for
refusing to testify voluntarily, on the summons
of the Coroner in person. The ouly part of the
law. as 1 read it, which seems to apply to this
case is as follows " il the dead body OF per-
s)n be Iound, and the circumstances of the death
bs unknown" the Coroner shall summon, &c. As
understand it, the whole tenor and intent Of
the law 1t lie to make inquisition whenever a
death occurs, in regard to which there is reason
able ground for suspicion that the person came
to his end by intentional violence and the object
OF the law is to secure the community against
the danger of death by violence
Where any ground of suspicion or violence ex-
lists, the inquest should be made but otherwise
an inquest Is an imposition upon the community
in it's private and public capacity. As said be-
fore, am satisfied that no ground for suspicion
of violence exists in this case and therefore
refused to obey the summons OF the Corner.
And / shall always do the same, under like cir
cumstances. The community has a right to be
protected against what conceive to be viola
ton of it's just rights and privileges especially
under the affective circumstances Of sudden
death in family"

I'LL FIGHT IT OUT ON THIS LINZ" ETC,
HAS AN HISTORICAL PRECEDENT.
From tile Missouri Democrat.
Admiral Grant, of Scotland $4,000, was
one of the first military men of Europe.
He was engaged in the wars at the time
the English were conquering the East
Indies, and his motto, engraved on his coat
of arms, was " Stand Fast" A son of the
Admiral. general, had large possessions
in Ireland, his motto being I'm Stand
Sure" His son, an English general, had
engraved on his coat of arm, 'Immobile.
So that when our General Grant, before
Richmond, said 81 will fight it out on this
line if it takes all summer" he reiterated
the motto of the old Grant family back for
two hundred and fifty years. Miss Nellie
Grant, when in London, was spoken of by
some of our papers as the daughter of a
pebian among royalty, and yet she had
but to refer to the armorial bearings of the
Grant family to show that their ancient
coat of arms was emblazoned with some
ten emblems, being partly their achieve
neuts in wars in the East, the family crest
being but little below that Of the royal
household.
There is more in these hereditary views
than we are generally willing to allow on
this side of the water. 1t is true that in
following up some genealogical threads
they will be found "waxed" at the upper
end.
Lincoln College was founded in England
in 1912, the motto of the family being
Good will to all, malice to none" Tho
Lincolns are an old theological and legal
family, and no doubt our late Presidents
legal mind, political wisdom and sterling
honesty were largely due to the culture of
his English ancestry.
The motto of the Mason family was
"Slow and Sure "-the emblem a snail.
They were a long-lived family. Phillips,
one of the early English biologists, had as
his motto g Simplex Munditns (simple as
the world. 1t is known that of the $50
prominent Protestant preachers in this
country more than one-half of them can
trace their talents and theological ideas
back to the old Professor Dwight family
of New England.
