o'NEILL SAYS DR.. VANCE HAD
NO RIGHT TO SIGN DEATH GER.
TlFlcATE OF MRS. EMILY REED.
PToMAINE POISONING 2
Coroner Returns From Investigation
of EddyyilIe Case and Reports That
No Examination Of the Contents OF
the Woman's Stomach Was Made.

Coroner S. E. O'Neill returned yes
terday afternoon from Eddyville where
he investigated the facts surrounding
the death of the late Mrs. Emily Reed,
whose death was said to have result
ed from ptomaine poisoning. Mrs.
Reed passed away early Monday morn
ing, supposedly from poison received
through eating canned meat. She was
buried Tuesday afternoon at o'clock
in Eddyville. DR.. f. E. Vance signed
the death certificate, which gave
ptomaine poisoning as the cause of
death, and the time of death as Mon
day morning at 1 o'clock.
Dr. O'Neill stated this morning that
after fully investigating all details Of
the case, that Dr. Vance had over
stepped his authority in signing the
certificate without making an examin-
alton of the woman's stomach. He
said that on Dr. Vance's own testi-
mony. no one was with her when she
died and therefore no one could testi-
fy as to the hour of death. Mrs,
Reed was seen Sunday evening and
then found dead Monday morning. So
far as can be ascertained, Dr. O'Neill
states, no one saw her in the interval.
Dr. O'Neil collected all facts in the
case and sent them to the state board
of health. He is awaiting the instruc-
lions of the state board.

COLD WEATHER
IN THE PAST

The appended communication from
w. H. Cooper bears testimony to the
fact that this spring is not the coolest
one that has been known within the
memory Of local residents and those
who are now complaining may feel
that they are fortunate not to be af-
fiicted as were the people of the east
just 4S years ago yesterday:
81 we'll remember forty-eight years
ago today. At that time l was living
IN Green county, Pennsylvania, and
On the evening Of the fourth and
morning of the fifth day of June in
1853, a cold wave from the north
swept over the state and extended in
to Ohio, Indiana and Virginia and
parts of the eastern and middle west

to replant their corn, and many did
not finish until the 26ta OF June. The
fall season was about a month latter
