William Sexton, an employe of the
Big Faiur railroad was found yester-
day about noon, lying in an uneon-
scious condition in little shanty
which he calls his home near the head
of the incline below the Halliday
hotel.
A two ounce bottle labelled car

Coroner McManus was called upon
to look into the case and had Sexton
removed to St. Mary's Intirmary

recovered consciousness and seemed
improving. But according to the
general opinion there was not much
hope for his ultimate recovery.
Sexton was an old resident Of
Cairo; has been here over so years.
His age is about 60 years. He was
a brother-in-law Of the late William
McHae, his sister being McHales
first wife.
Sexton has been an employe of the

considered mentally responsible for
his acts for some time, especially
during his periods of insobriety.

o'clock this morning was that Sexton
was resting well and seemed to be
