HUMPHREY DIED
NATURAL DEATH
AUTOPSY PERFORMED ON BODY
OF LAUREL MAN.
Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
An autopsy performed on the body
Of R. Humphrey, the Laurel man who
was found dead in his bed in q room
under the Blue Front saloon Monday
night, revealed the fact that the man
had died Of a foreign growth on one
Of the heart valves.
All Of the other organs Of the
mans body were apparently in a
healthy condition and 1t was de
termined to a certainty that heart
trouble was the immediate cause Of
the mans death.
Humphrey was almost penniless
when he died, and had passed the age
when he was entitled to draw benefits
from the Eagles lodge OF which he
was a member. It is very probable
that the Laurel aerie Of Eagles will
bury him, or at least the funeral will
be held under the auspices Of the
lodge.
