WIN. KIERSTEAD.

VIM. Kierstead employed for the
past four years as engineer at the
tannery, died Saturday night. He had
been ailing for some time and for about
a week had been receiving medical
treatment. On Saturday evening A.
M. Peterson, of the John Kiefer Furni-
ture Co., was notified by Mrs Kierstead
that her husband was dead and he went
over to prepare the body for burial.
When he arrived at the house Mrs.
Kierstead informed him her husband
was still alive and upon visiting the
bedside Mr.. Peterson found this to be
the fact. Next morning he received
another call and after ascertaining for
certainty that the man was dead, he
notified the coroner. Several stories,
current at the time, aroused sus-
picions of that official and he deemed
that an inquest was advisable. Accord
ingly an autopsy was made yesterday, a
jury summoned and evidence taken.
The principal witnesses were the two
physicians who made the autopsy and
they declared that they found the heart
and kidneys is such diseased condi-
ton that death was due to the condi-
ton of these organs alone. The lungs,
also were coated with coal dust The
jury brought in verdict in accordance
with the above facts
Deceased was thirty-seven years of
age, a native of Canada and had been
employed by the company three years
before coming here. Besides his wife
he is survived by two children. He was
beneficiary member of the M W A.
and NJ b. A. societies. The funeral
