looking and fairly well-dressed man en-

morning. and sitting down at a table,

swallowed the beverage when he was seen
! to suddenly pitch forward to the floor, and
when picked up was found to be dead.
The Coroner, upon receiving notice of the
fact. removed the body to the Morgue.
Nothing was found upon the dead man
which would lead to his identity, and it is
supposed that he was a stranger here. He
was a man of medium build, of sandy
complexion and wore n heavy red mus
tache. He was apparently about 35 years
| old.
