To the HERALD ADVANCE.
On Jan. Cd 1895, DR.. Clark OF this
city was hurriedIy called to .he home of
Karl kaufman of Vernon Township
where he found Mrs. Kaufman dead.
He pronounced it . case Of coal gas
poisoning and foead Mr.. Kaufman,
husband OF the deceased woman. suffer
ing from the effect Of gas. He at one
time was undoubtedly very near deaths
door, but upon being aroused in the
morning managed to walk to his fathers
about three tourlhs Of mile from his
home. The interested parties requested
that an inquest be held, and as the Coro-
ner was not qualified, Z. II. Clark, J. p,
was called on to perform the duties OF
a Corner. which he did.
There was very careful and thorough
investi CATION made of the house, stove
and stoveplpes; there was found to oe
two dampers i'll the stovepipe, both of
which had been closed and the fire
covered with ashes when the couple had
retired on Jan. LIST. The corpse was
found TO be lying in natural position
as though sleeping and was e&amlntd 10y
the jury and DR.. Daniels
She had spent new years day with
her parents, while her husband made a
trip to Milbank: returning in the evening
he brought her some new year presents
She had never been sick a day in her
life and as far can be learned she was
in a very happy frame Of mind on the
evening in question and there is no
question but that the young couple We're
living happily together, and she will be
sa1diy missed by her husband
Several witnesses we're called and
examined very thoroughly, but the jury
could not find cne spark OF evidence
that showed that the deceased came le
her death by violence or any other tou
means. The jury rendered a verdict
of death by coal gas poisoning.
The afflicted husband should have the
sympathy Of all, and it IS the duty @
his neighbors to lend helping hant
TO help him bear up IN his ai1iiction.
This sad accident should be a Warnn:
to every one who burns coal. The write
was one Of the jurors in the case All,
believes this to be the sentiment OF til,
Jury after investigation.

STATE EKEASUEEER DEFAULTS
The Amount Oi his Shortage
said to be from s2DO. 600 to
100000.

Redfeld, S. D., J;A. 9.-Probab the
most startling failure that has occurred
in this state was revealed this morning
IN the news received from Walter w.
Taylor, outgoing state treasurer and
president of the First National bank
here, that he would not appear to make
his settlement AT Pierre with Treasurer
elect Kirk Phillips. This news and the
thunderhoit because both bank and Mr,
Taylor were regarded as unquestonablv
firm. The news from Pierre demonstrate
es that no money is held there 10 the
credit of the state treasurer, and mono IS
held IN the bank here. It is estimated
that about s35O.0OO is missing. Aside
from the financial loss the action Of Mr..
Taylor is felt terribly by all who have
done business with him, and the finan-
cnl enterprises with which he has been
connected III the pas, Years. He and his
enterprises have handed many thonsands
of Eastern capital, and his bank here has
ways been regarded as one Of the firm
, md safe institutions OF the state.
1t is utterly impossible to tell any
thing about the amount. All state funds
are deposited to the credit OF w. w.
Tay lor. individually at Redfield. There
are no records to show where the money
| is deposited. Taylor should have had
on hand S34G.0Uo He had set aside
| 100000 to pay funding warrants which
were due IN New York Saturday
Whether he paid them is unknown. Puo.
lie examiner Myers found al his ac-
counts correct III April last but has mad.
no examination since. Mr.. Myers has
for thirty days been somewhat suspicious
and has tried TO get list of depost-
tory banks, bu. has been put off on one
pretext or annher. Three weeks q gt
Taylor went to New York, and it is u3
derstood that he hns been trying 10 rais'
