Asphyxiation Caused Death Of
George III. Craig.

w. w. Craig returned Saturday
from Riverside, Iowa, where he was
called last week to attend the fur.-
eral of his brother, George Fl. Craig.
who was found dead in his room at
hotel at Davenport, last Wednes-
day morning. The following ac-
count of the tragic death of Mr.
Craig is taken from the Davenport
Democrat: --
The body of George H. Craig of
Riverside, Iowa, was found about
7:45 this morning in his room at
Inter Den Linden by the housekeep-
err. Asphyxiation, as the result OF
inhaling Illuminating gas, was the
cause of death He was IS years old.
That the mans death was an acct
dent, there is very little doubt, as all
appearances in the room point to
turning on the gas and forgetting to
turn it off. The man came to the
Linden about 1890 in the evening.
He was Immediately shown to his
room. The man must have arisen
in the night as he had disrObed and
the bed had been disturbed. He
turned on the gas, and it is thought
that it did not light Immediately. He
llCil III ACu oH taO OASS-
trio light, forgetting the open gas
jet When discovered the body of
the man was lying on the floor near
the bed He had been dead for sew
eral hours.
The gruesome discovery was made
by the housekeeper She attempted
to enter the room early this morning
but was unable to get in or get an
q m nninO Mr. Coo2ichn
an entrance was effected to the
room. There they saw the body. 1t
was cold.
Coroner Rudolf was summoned.
On viewing the body, DR.. Rudolf
stated that there was very little
doubt the man met death accidental
ly.
Craig came here to serve on the
federal grand jury, which opens ses-
sion today, and had a subpoena in
his pocket. He was here two years
ago and stopped at the Inter Den
Linden. Craig is about SIS years old
and was quite prominent resident
in Riverside. The mans brother
will arrive this evening and make
arrangements for the funeral.
After celebrating for some time,
the coroner's jury at the inquest on
the death of George H. Craig, who
was discovered dead yesterday morn
ing in his room returned verdict
of accidental death, caused by in
haling illuminating gas. The in
quiry was held at the Nissen & Hart
wig undertaking parlors.
CorrobOratiVe testimony on the
part of all witnesses examined was
the reason for the decision. All of
the witnesses who testified, gave
clear and concise statements. I'D
Ensigner, who forced the entrance to
the room in which the man was
found dead, stated that he knew
nothing of the case, with the excep-
ton that he saw the man lying on
the floor when he went into the
room.
Other witnesses who testified were
Orville Stamm and c. Cook, playing
this week at the American theatre,
| Mrs. E. Fisher, housekeeper, and
Adolph Kuelke, owner and manager
of the Inter Den Linden.
The jury was composed of John
Littig, John Kambach and Charles
Lepper.
The body of Craig was sent to
Riverside, Iowa, at GAO o'clock this
morning, and interment will be made
in the family lot there. The remains
were accompanied by two brothers of
the deceased, w. w. and C. S. Craig,
who came to Davenport yesterday
afternoon to complete the arrange

 There are Henkels manicure sets, scissor sets and all kinds of razors.
 Chaf1ng dishes and perculators, both electric and alcohol, also casseroles of all kinds are displayed. In brass there are artistic jardinieres, umbrella racks and smoking sets, while what could be better for the open fireplace than the andiron or fre-set or pretty screen?
 An interesting display is of imported novelties in hammered iron. Beauti- full trays are made of wood, copper and nickel and have either plain or tapistry backs. 4
 Automobile lunch sets range in price from s15 to $zOO, while chocolate sets come at all prices. Electric Christ mas tree outfits for both battery and city current, also electric torches, Ian terms and handlamps are shown.
