she had no thought Of the sad news
which was told her shortly afterward
by her friends. The young girl was
Frustrated and begged to be taken TO

When she reached the casket she ran
her fingers lovingly over the features o.
the old man and was led out Of the
room completely unnerved with grief

leave.
The body Of j. e. Howell was
exhumed early Thursday morning
and a post.mortem held by Coroner
Schenecker in the presence of many
witnesses. Besides the coroner.
Doctors Geib, of Groton, Sutherland
and Murphy were in attendance. A
coroner's jury consisting of three
was chosen and a most searching
examination was made, at the con.
clusion of which the jury rendered
la verdict OF death from natural
causes. Considering the ignor
ance, superstition to deal with
a more rigid examination should
have been made weeks ago,
although the general public was sat
isfied from the first. 1t is unpleas-
ant to be compelled to desecrate the
dead for such paltry ends, but, every
thing considered, it was for the best.
We sincerely hope that those who
have been most diligent in peddling
all manner Of reports and accusa-
tions from their imaginative minds
will desist now, yea-henceforth and
forever, remembering that:
who steals my purse steals trashi
Twas something; it's nothing.
Twas mine; tits his!
But he who filches from me my good name
Takes that which not enriches him,
But makes me poor indeedV
