cure any debt then existing or that might
thereafter arise, and at that time he be-

Trying to Account for His Fractured
Skull-The Coroner Investigating.

George Mcpherson. the legless man who
died from a fractured skull at the City

takers Collier & Murphy. and will be sent
10 Mooresville, Ind, for burial. Last night
his relatives were located, and they called

that the dead man had never been able to
read or write. He also said Mcpherson al
ways carried pocketbook in which was

home in case he should meet with an acci-
dent. Neither the pocketbook nor the card
was found on his person, and the absence
or these articles has led McPhersons
friends to believe that he was fouly dealt
with. Coroner Beck thinks that the wound
on the dead mans head could hardly have
been caused by a fall. and will give the
matter close investigation. The people at

living. say that there was a cuspidor In
