Coroner L. j. Addition was sum
moned to Kineo last Saturday to in
vestigate the circumstances concern
ing the death of Albert Nistlom, who,

lake about the first of September.
Nistlom was a native of Sweden, who
had been in this country about two
years. He was employed as section
hand on the Somerset railroad and
left Kineo station one night in canoe
to go to his boarding place about one
mile down the shore of the lake. The
overturned canoe was found a few
days later, but nothing further was
seen of Nistlom until his body was
found last Saturday by John E. Lamb
whose farm borders the west shore of
the lake about four miles south of
Kineo. The lake shore is the county
line, dividing Somerset and Piscata-
quis counties at that point, and this
necessitated summoning a Somerset
county coroner.
