Schlegel the county cases were

and gather up all funds which
might be secured from relatives
of deceased persons. Now the
county must pay $40 for each of
the 100 or more cases which is a
fair average for year, and if
Coroner Schlegel persists in his
present course the county will pay
considerably more than $1,000 for
the burial of its paupers.
Believing that Messerville, the
suicide of a few days ago, had
sufficient funds in the bank for
burial expenses, Coroner Schlegel
had the body taken to the Turn
bull undertaking parlors. 1t was
discovered that a bank book in the
pocket of the deceased belonged to
another man, as did the coat.

claim his property. Then the

was caught in the coupling and

of death when switchmen saved

His family knew it's first great
grief when they brought him home

cared for him there, for they could
not hire both doctor and a nurse.

That was not the worst.
