ed to be suspicious circumstances. Cor

was employed in the livery stable OF

him sympathy, he was made as COM
Portable as possible In the place where
he died. In the eevning it was seen
that the man was breathing with ap-
parent difficulty and DR.. Andrews was
summoned. but when he arrived the
man was beyond medical aid.

tives, as far as known, and according
to the State law. the remains will be
