Died From Natural causes.

In the opinion of L. Rebel of Chart
ton, A. j. Raymond, who was found
dead sitting on a bench in the Burling-
ton round house in this city Friday
night, did not commit suicide nor was
there anything suspicious in connec.
ton with his demise The coroners
jury had returned verdict finding
that Raymond came to his death from
natural causes but Mr.. Rebel, in whose
employ Raymond was, investigated the
matter on his own account and return.
ed last evening from Cottonwood, a
small town on the Fit. Madison road
where Raymond boarded the train foI
Ottumwa. Mr.. Riebel says he found
that Raymond walked from Mt. Pleas
ant to Cottonwood, a distance of sew
enteen miles, and procured an order
for an artificial limb, the class OF
goods he was selling for Mr.. Rebel
Seemingly when Raymond boarded the
cars at Cottonwood he was in his
usual health. 1t is thought that the
exertion incident to the long walk from
Mt. Pleasant brought on an attack o.
heart trouble, to which Raymond was
subject and eventually caused his
death.

But it is not altogether in the study
of law that men become great as law
yers; it is the practice of it after
