There is. however, one officer to whom
this rule does not apply, and who is
not only in the harness at the eXcep-

glories in the activities and response
bilities OF his position. This unique n
dividual is none other than Admiral

DIES OF NATURAL CAUSE.
Mccaffrey Of Fort Dodge Found
Smothered in Aches

Mccaffrey Of Fort Dodge Found
smothered in Ashes.
Fort Dodge.-The coroners jury re.
turned a verdict of death from natu-
raj causes in the case of O. H. Mccall
rey, found dead in an alley. The
Yerdict ran: I'VE, find that deceased
came to his death from asphyxiation
by unconsciousness,' cause unknown"
Members of the jury said that they
meant by this that it was asphyxia-
ton and not foul play which led to
the end of the man.
Mccartney, when found, had his
face and head buried to the ears in
pile Of ashes and there were a
number of bruises on the, hack of the
head, which led to the suspicion that
he might have been done away with.
AS It became known, however, that
he had been drinking heavily, the
murder theory rather lost force. Nc
Caffrey was As, years old and unmar-
ried. He was the local agent for the
American Life Insurance company Of
Des Moines, where he was we'll known
in business way.
At one time he lived in Jackson
county at Maquoketa and served a
term as sheriff.
