DEATH OF Mr.. EMMETT HUNT

Mr.. Emmett Hunt, a farmer living
about four miles from town died last
Friday night, and was buried next
day at Zoar Church.
At the time of his death it was said
that he died of pneumonia and the
burial permit was thus made out
Immediately after the burial reports
were circulated that at an egg boiling
Saturday night before his death Hunt
and one of the fifteen or twenty
young men at the egg boiling had had
a fight, in which Hunt was beaten up
pretty badly, and was left in bruis-
ed and suffering condition.
So persistent were these rumors
that Sheriff Douglass had the body
exhumed and thorough examination
made. This examination revealed no
bruises, and except scratch on the
forehead, no evidences of a fight.
The attending physician was sure that
Hunt died of Pneumonia.
Mr.. was a married man, leaving
seven children, several brothers and
sisters, and an aged father and
mother.
