resident of Forty Acres, discovered the dead body
of stranger partially lying upon the ground.

kind. The man was lying on his back, with
his legs crossed and one hand was on
his breast the other by his side. The stranger
had evidently placed himself in comfortable
position to rest. but being seized with the fit or
whatever else it was that produced death had
died without stirring. The body was neatly
dressed in dark clothing. Near by Philadelphia
newspaper and Pipe were found. Coroner
