body of the man, who had lived and died alone. was placed under earth for ever.
 Few people in Montgomery did not know Harwell by sight He was a picturesque figure always. He con stantIy rode every species of raw bon ed horse that has existed. A broad slouch hat with the rim turned up over his weather.b beaten face and the heavy a man of the plains. He had few as- sociates and lived to himself. A man of property and of means that by many would be considered wealth. he lived in solitary seciusion and denied him self sometimes even the necessities of life. W
 Harwell's ocupation was that of a deputy constable. On the -boned horses he would slouch along the streets from day to day. serving the papers of Magistrate W. C. Fuller He saved whatever he got his hands on and had property scattered over Mont gomery. He was also horse trader and his house on Finley Avenue was used as living place for himself and his horses and mules.
 This man died as he had lived. Tine slouch nat was, on the floor of his room. He wore his boots even in death. His coat and vest were thrown across his body as he rested on a scanty bed. There were legal papers in his pocket. and his mule watched over him
 He was last seen Thursday by neigh bors. He was frequently out of his house for days and no suspicious were aroused by his not being seen in the reighborhood. Yesterday morning. however. a negress. Nancy Pace. who lives nearby, heard a disturbance in the rear room of Harwelfs house. There was an fincessant banging on the sides of the place and the entire neigh. borhood was alarmed.
 Found by Patr01man.
 Patrolman George Cantey was call ed and at o'clock he forced an en- trance into the room. He beheld the familiar form of Harwell on his rough couch The body was in a state of decomposition. The mule was standing in the room kicking against its sides in the hope of attracting the attention of liberator.
 Coroner Tice was summoned and in company with a surgeon. and H. B. Fuller. reached the house in few minutes. There was no sign of a struggle and a careful examination of the body disclosed no sign of wound The only circumstance which could possibly he construed as suspicious was that the big revolver of Harwell which was always hung over his shoulder could not be found in the house. The room was barely furnish ed. few broken chairs and a rough cot were all the furniture in the room.
 There were several business memor- anda and some legal papers but there was no written word to indicate how long he had been i'll.
 Nh Money Was Found.
 A search of the premises was made to discover any belongings of value. It had always been rumored in the that the constable had a sum of money stored away in his dingy quarters, but nothing of the kind was found.
 The remains were taken to the of- flee of Coroner Tice where they were prepared for burial. At three o'clock yesterday afternoon, accompanied by none but Rev. J. M. Rhinehart, pastor of the West End Methodist Church and the undertakers, the body was taken to Oakwood Cemetery and laid to rest.

 The deceased was about fifty years old and had frequently offered himself for sheriff of Montgomery county His candidacy was never taken seriously. however, and his name was never piac- ed on the primary ticket.
