DEAD in
HIS BED
CHARLES STRUTHERS
Is FOUND LIFELESS
THIS MORNING

Charles Struthers, who has been in
this valley for q number of years do
found dead in his bed this morning in
the Central Lodging house about II
o'clock, due it is thought, from heart
failure. Struthers engaged a room in
the early hours of the morning and
when he was called at later period,
ne response could be obtained from
him. An investigation then revealed
his death.
Coroner George MacMart1n was at
once summoned and the body turned
over to his charge. 1t was taken to
his morgue where an autopsy will la
ter be held. From superficial evil
dence however, it is surmised that
the death of Struthers was brought
about by natural causes.
Struthers was seen last night about
town by various people and he seemed
in excellent health When found this
morning he was lying partly on the
bed and partly on the floor and it
looked as if he had been sitting on
the edge of the former when he was
suddenly stricken and toppled over
backwards.
He has no known relatives in this
country and has always been looked
upon as a worker at odd jobs, doing
anything he could find
In appearance he was somewhat
large and had a heavy stubble on his
face. He is judged to be about 80 or
35 years of age.
No funeral arrangements have yet
been made.

claimed the election by majorities
ranging from $50 to $50. Whitman and
Clarke precincts had been regarded as

Whitman had rolled UP a majority of

Clarke, the only precinct carried by

was apparently a painless death.
The process Of skin grating, where
in the attending physician endeavored
to prolong the vitality of Crews, was
the means of keeping him alive for
such a long period, for had not this
means been employed, he would have
died within a few days after the ac-
cident Appeal after appeal was made
to the people and these were answered
so that sufficient skin might be OBJ
tanned to save the life of the victim.
Another call had been issued yester-
day evening for 300 additional volun-

came to them as a very severe shock
this morning. Already over $50 people
have submitted to the skin grating

1t is known the Danish experts were

Therefore the absolutely fiat decision
