Moore, of Portland
Nick Keller. a railroad hand, dropped
. dead on the sidewalk in front of Elmer's
jewelry store, says the Baker City Tribune
The deceased had been drinking for sew
eral days, and just before his death swal-
lowed piece of raw beef nearly as large as
his hand, which stuck in his throat, caus.
ing strangulation and almost instant death.
DR.. Estes removed the meat from the
throat of the deceased, but too late to save
his life. The coroner's jury rendered a ver-
dict in accordance with the above facts.
Deceased was a native of Nebraska, and
leaves three sons to mourn his sudden death
In another place will be found the COM
ments Of DR.. G. R. Earra giving his o2in-
ion and the opinions of other eminent
physicians on the contagious qualities of
scarlet fever. The GAZETTE has during the
last few weeks endeavored ro impress these
facts upon our readers, believing the duty
of q newspaper to deal with all points of
interest to the public and to warn people |
of danger. There have been some doubt |
ing Thomases who do not have any child |
rem to loose, and who care nothing about |
others losses who have ridiculed our re-
marks on this subjec, as well as hooted at |
the idea that it was the duty of city au.
thorities TO take steps to prevent the spread |
of such contagion. The city charter ex.
pressly givea the city authorities power to |
act in this way and to prevent the spread of
such things, and if they will not act when
occurs in such matters we are
certainly unable to find what use there is
in city government.
