J. M. Poe died at Hogan last Sun
day morning. Poe's home was in
Bollinger county and he arrived in
this county, stopping at Ironton, about
three weeks ago. He was selling cleo
trio bells. He spent about four days
in this city and was drinking hard all
the time. He then went to Hogan
where, shortly afterward, he was taken |
sick. Blood poison and erysipelas de-
with fatal results. 1t was
learned that Poe had a son somewhere |
in Arkansas and communication was
with him. But nothing |
definite could be learned from him and |
Sheriff O'Neal went to Hogan and had |
the body inferred. Poe was a man |
about fifty years of age, of short statue
and good appearance. Although a |
stranger here, it was very evident that
his weakness for strong drink had i'm
paired his usefulness and shortened his |
days. A gold watch, 81 in cash and
certificate, showing he was an ex-soldier
aud pensioner, were found on his |
person. A son of the deceased arrived |
at Hogan from Colorado Springs, Colo
rado, Monday, took charge of the per-
sonal effects, and settled his fathers |
bills. The young man came to Iron
ton the following day and highly
praised the good people of Hogan for
the kindness and attention they had |
shown his father-''a stranger in a
strange land"-in his last sickness.
