err Prompted Jury's Remark
able Verdict.

Sisseton, S. D., ian. 29.-One of tbs
most unique verdicts Of the kind ever
returned in the state has been rendered
by a %coroner's jury in this (Roberts)
county in the case of Charles Horn, a
full-blood Sisseton and Wahpeton
Sioux Indian, who was found dead on
the road between the town Of Peeve1
and Sisseton agency. e
Horn was an habitual drunkard and
doubtless died as the result of an ex-
posure while on his way home in his
customary intoxicated condition.
When a coroner's jury was sum-
moned for the purpose of ascertaining
the cause Of his death, ar autopsy re-
Vealed h fact that n dead mans
stomach was filled with water.
Doubtless because it was SO unusual
for the dead man to drink water dur
ing the latter years Of his life the jury
returned a verdict to the effect hat he
had committed suicide by drinking
water,
