INLAY DEATH THOUGHT
TO HAVE been SUICIDE

The remains Of Mrs. George Geiger,
who was found dead in bed at Inlay
Wednesday evening, were brought to
Winnemueea on an early train Thurs
day morning, and shipped to Green
vile, Texas, on Southern Pacific No.
20 Friday morning.
While it is claimed that coroner s
jury returned a verdict that deceased
came to her death from natural causes,
it is believed by many to have been a
case of suicide There was no postmor-
TEN examination held, and it is not
known what facts the jury based its
verdict upon.
There is considerable mystery sur
rounding the case. When the body was
brought to Winnemucea, it is under.
stood that one or two persons who ac-
cidentally learned of its presence in
the undertaking parlors were enjoined
to secrecy, so that practically nothing
was known here of the aaffir until the
next day.
