Coroner Investigating.

DR.. William B. Maxon. o Union veteran
of Morgan County, apparently about 50
years of age. died at the Kyle House on
Monroe Street at about Il o'clock yes
terday. The manner of his death is a
mystery.
A hyperdermic syringe and small
vial of cocaine was found near the bed
of the dead man. but no marks on MS
skin indicated that the drug had been
injected into the body. Papers on Max
ons body showed that recently he has
lived in Morgan County. He hears life
registration certificate as a voter of Nor
gan County and a license to practice den
tistry, granted by a board of dental ex-
aminers. 1t is thought that the syringe
and cocaine may have been part OF mis-
dental apparati.
The body now lies in the Office of Cor
oner Tice. awaiting instructions for re-
moval.
Maxon came to Montgomery several
days ago. apparently under the influence
of whiskey. He took lodgings in the Kyle
House and shared his bed with dog
which he had brought to Montgomery
with him. The dog has strangely dtsap-
peared. He has not been seen since the
death of the master.
The body of Maxon was found by a
negro servant girl when cleaning up The
door was locked and had to be broken
down before an entrance could be Sc
cured.
Honorable discharge papers from the

papers showing that for the last year OF

dictate cannot get the land until il has pro-
vided settlers for it,
Each settler is to have the Gust omary allot =

as not to interfere with the ordinary inflow

was no law against robbing graves, that il
WAS an honorable business and that science
was advanced through the practice
