just right about the place and Mr..
Harrison managed to get a look
in the house and saw the man w.
ing on the bed dead. He immedi-
ately notified the coroner, DR..

which was done Wednesday even
ing. The verdict of the corners
jury was that the deceased came
TO his death from natural causes.
Mr.. Boyer had lived with his
wife and family in Great Bend for
some time, owning their home on
