MELVIN ADAMSoN DEATH

Huron, s. D., Jan. 19.-The follow
ing verdict was returned by the cor
oner's jury in the inquest into the
death OF Melvin Adamson. Of this city:
I'VE, the jury impaneled on the In
quiry over the remains of Melvin Ad-
amson, find that he died from strang.
ulation while in a helpless condition"
No trace Of poison was found In
the stomach, and the examination Of
the lungs corroborated the statement
OF Huron physicians that death was
probably due to suffocation. Whether
there was alcohol in the stomach or
iginally could not be detected, as the
organ was shipped in alcohol, some OF
which would have diffused through its
walls.
Adamson was picked up, supposedly
intoxicated. on November 20. 1915, and
put in the city Jail. In few hours ne
was found dead He was not reputed
a drinking man, and much mystery sur
rounded his death.

equipment to get below. Everything
he found on the upper deck was as
sound as the day the boat was sunk.

company fer the use of the machinery
they have been using to pump gravel
out OF the bottom Of the Big Sioux
