Matters OF interest PuOlSheu IN Inc
Now what caused the mans death? Did
water enter the5 bronchial tubes in his efforts
of respiration IN sufficient quantities to
destroy life, or would not the spasmodic
closure of the rima glottidls upon the con-
tact of the water prevent this to any consld-
erable extent? Besides, as remarked, there
was a good chest sound, or resonance, under
percussion, except in the lower part of the
right lung. Could apoplexy or epilepsy
cause his deathP The usual signs of these
we're absent-stertor and conyulsive move
ments of the muscles. Or can his death be
accounted for from the physical shock upon
the nervous system, causing syncope or
f%aintlng Immediately after the immersiouP

Just Thirty-three Years Ago This Week.
Sad Death.-Mr. August Broeker, a Ger
man, tobacconlst, was found dead IN his bed,
at one of our hotels, on Sunday morning last.
Mr.. Broekman was a very Incorporate man,
or rather was given to occasional ''sprees,'
as it is called IN the drunkard's parlance.
and had been on one of these for several
days previous to his sad death, but whether
death ensued from this cause or poison, we
believe is not known. Mr.. Coroner CLAYTON
held an inquest, but so far as we have
learned, nothing was elected TO decide the
point. Many stories are alJat as 10 the
probable cause OF the apparent suicide of Mr..
Broeker, some saying it was purely an affair
of the heart, a love matter, and others that It
was the legitimate consequence Of intemper-
ance. To US, and to most of our people. Mr..
b. was a stranger, having settled here only a
short time ago, from ST. Louis, where, in
former time, he is said to have been con-
cerned In a tobacco store at the corner OF
Third and Vine, opposite the old city hotel.
