The condition of William Davis, colorcd,
residing at No, 1906 King street. during the
last few days has aroused the suspicion in

morning Officer Travers was dispatched to
the premises to make an investigation He
saw the sick man at a,distance, and con-

DR.. German will probably examine the pa
tient and report on the case this afternoon.
