he had been taking morphine. of which
he had stock in the house.
Mrs. Gordon returned from Augusta,

Spear. After searching for sometime
she found him lying on the bed in an
unconscious condition. City Physician
Cobb was called in company with City
Marshal Drake After working on the
man he was restored to consciousness
and Thursday was pronounced out of

The mans unconscious condition
was due to so a grain morphine pills
