Saltwater, Mimi, July 2S.-Coroner
Freleigh conducted an inquest to-day over
the remains Of Alfred Clauson, drowned
in Lily lake, and the jury returned ver-
dict of accidental death. There was no
evidence to substantiate the charge of sui
eide. Clauson is believed to have been
of unsound mind because Of excessive
drink and to have wandered into the
swamp and lake while he imagined some
one was following him to do him harm.
Witnesses heard him cry for help.
A telegram from Davenport to-day in-
structs the coroner to prepare the body
for burial. A brother in-law is coming
from Iowa to claim the remains and take
them home. Clauson's father is an old
resident of Davenport and was once
mayor of the city.

one of the doctors gave his views as fol-
lows:
1.-THE success of DR.. Littlefeld's expert
ment seems problematical and official
confirmation must be awaited. It Is
thought here that a confirmation will not
be forthcoming. Life certainly was found
during DR.. Littlefleld's experiment, but
it could only have come from an outside
source. The organisms either were at
lached to the walls Of the tube or were
present in the substances used in the
experiment. 1t formerly was believed
that meat in state of putrefaction gave
spontaneous birth to maggots, but DR..
Revi, in 1888, made some interesting ex-
periments in this connection and showed
that those maggots came from eggs de-
posted by flies. Pasteur also demon
strated the origin Of the infinitesimal
germs In some conclusive experiments"
