The CRISTY BABE.
Coroner Haly Makes His Report.
He Finds That the Infant Died From
ASphyIia.
Charges OF Neglect and Improper

After exhuming the body of the infant
child of Edward Leonard and making q
thorough examination with the assistance of
DR.. bloomfield, DR.. Haly, coroner, made
the following report: j..
COroner's Report. e.
/, the undersigned, Coroner of Henry
county, Ohio, having duly inquired into, as
to whom and by what means the infant
daughter of Edw. Leonard, whose dead body
was found buried in Forest Hill Cemetery
on the 18th day of July, 1893, came to her
death: stS
After having examined said body and
heard the evidence, do dnd the deceased to
have come to her death from condition of
asphyxia or in proper aeration of the blood
which was produced BY some cause that in
terfered with natural breathing and which
am unable to discover. am Of the opinion
that the babe did not have the proper care
and treatment while it lived; in fact, it had
no treatment, and while the parents aud
other members of the family claim the babe
was sick, they at the same time admit that
they did not use any means Whatever to re-
leive or cure it.
Us. HALY, Coroner.
The coroner also took evidence from DR.
Marvin, Jessie Cristy, Rachael Fritz, Mrs
Jessie Cristy and Mrs. Mat Bigford, which
he attached to his report. 1t.
This evidence was substantially the same
as the investigation given in last weeks
NORTHWEST.
Both report and evidence are filed with
the Clerk of Courts. The Coroner has com
pleted his work and it now rests IN thu
hands of the Prosecuting Attorney for fuith
or proceedings in the matter. G

Death OF Oscar q. Mann,

Oscar 8. Mann, bricklsyer. whose home
was in Albion, died suddenly at the Ply
mouth Institute. Warsaw, Ind, at an early
hour last Wednesday morning.
The facts as developed at the coroner's in.
quest are as follows:
Deceased was brought to the institute last
Tuesday evening BY his brother-in-lav, Mr..
Elmer Prickett, Of Albion. Promptly upon
his arrival the physician in charge gave him
a mild sedative TO induce sleep, and sup
piled him with a dose of tonic. At about
8 O'Clock he retired to his room and was fire.
quently seen during the night By the attend
ant. At O'Clock Wednesday morning he
arose efTeshed-dTessed himself and came
down stairs and walked to the flowing we'll
where he drank cup Of water. He took no
medicine Of any kind and returned 10 his
room after arranging with Mr.. Pickett 10
call and see him before returning TO Albion.
Frank Shaw, the night attendant, accom-
panied him TO his room an removed the
patients shoes, leaving him lying upon his
back, ready for morning nap. That was
the last time he was seen alive.
At O'Clock Charles Northam, the day at
tendsnt, went to the sleeping rooms to call
the patients for breakfast. Mann had turn.
ed upon his face, his nose being buried in
the bed clothing. He failed to respond to
the attendants call and the latter gently
rolled him over. To his great horror the
man was dead. The sheet was marked with
sputa from the mouth, and there was no
sign of struggle. Sleep had heightened
into death.
The coroner was sent for and conducted a
searching examination in the court house
and rendered finding that death was due
to asphyxia or suffooation. He had strange
presentiment that he would soon die from
excessive dissipation and it is thought that
imperfect heart action had much to do with
his sudden taking of.
Mr.. Prickett returned to his home with
the remains on Wednesday evening and Mr..
W. P. Cooper, secretary of the Plymouth
Institute Company. accompanied him.
OHis mother, Mrs. A. E. Mann, arrived at
Albion at 8 o'clock Thursday morning to
take his remains to Napoleon for interment
Oscar 8. Mann was born in Napoleon May
9th, 1856. died July 18th, 1888, aged 81 years,
months and 10 days.
He leaves a wife, mother and father to
mour nhis departure. *.+

sPAFFoRDIN HARRISON TP.
Amer Firing the Buildings They Rob
the House OF $40.

A. N. Spaford, living in section % Har-
Fison tp., owned two large barns in the rear
Of his house, both filed with grain and ma
chinsry. To-day, with siI their contents,
including horses aud q calf, they are
smouldering ruins.
Wednesday evening about 8 O'Clock. fire
was discovered in the east barn, and not
withstanding force of fully rs men was
quickly summoned, 90 rapidly did the FIRE
burn that all was destroyed.
II was with the greatest labor that the
west barn was saved, 1t being situated snly
forty feet distant.
On returning to the house IL was discov-
cred that some $40 had been stolen. Who
the thieves were, it is hard to conjecture.
Several neighboFs claim that as they ran to
the FIRE, they met team travelling in the
opposite direction, and inasmuch as the oc-
cupants said nothing and had come past the
frs, it was presumed that they were the fire.

Barn No. 2.
Misfortune follows misfortune.
The next morning about 8 O'Clock, the
second barn was discovered in blaze and
but short time elapsed before it was razed
to the ground. How II caught is a mystery,
but Mr.. Spafford thinks sparks from the
previous hre the cause.
The loss will reach about $2,5OO with $l,-
800 insurance. Among other articles is 80
acres of wheat and 10 acres of rye unthresh-
ed, 30 bu, oats, 35 bu. corn and a small
amount of seed wheat; buggies, self rake,
reapers, mowers, roller, five plows, etc., etc.
% cords of wood near the barn, pig pen and
a number of sheds were also burned.
The implements, horses, etc., were owned
by Lester Spsfford, who had them insured.

BURNED OUT !
A Napoleon Fishing Party That Came
to Grief Near Grand Rapids.

The young men who comprised the Grand
Rapids fishing party came home Saturday
covered with ashes and most ungratifying
thoughts. Everything went merry as a mar
risge bell mp to Friday night. On this fated
night "Camp Tired Feeling" met its doom.
The French lost Waterloo through the lying
of peasant; the above camp was destroyed
on account of the campers tarrying several
minutes on the outside of fence listening
to the sirenizing voice of a maiden within
lifted in song.
This was at 10 O'Clock. Hearing a cry
they saw in the distance q sheet of fame.
1t was their tent. They legged it, but too
late. They arrived only in time to awaken
Chas. Rummell and Ma'ly Siford, who were
left in charge.
The 10, will reach 800, with no insur.
ance. Tent, expensive fishing tackle, (most-
ly borrowed), camping utensils, clothes,-
all fell prey to the destroying element.
The boys see in their loss history repeat
ing itself in case of the cold storage FIRE at
