DEATHS

John Henry Canter, about 10 years
old, was found dead in his bed San
day morning about 1880 o'clock when
Mrs. W. P. King, in whose residence
on E. Promenade Street he lived, open
ed the door to his room, having become
alarmed about him after not having
seen him for two days. 1t is thought
that he died some time Friday night,
and heart disease is supposed to have
caused his sudden death, as he had ap-
parea.!y been in good health up to
the time.
Mr. Canter's wife had been away
from home about five weeks and dur
ing her absence he was living alone,
in the par. Of the house which he
rented from Mrs. King. He worked
as a farmer for f. VI. Lawder, and
It was his custom 70 walk back and

day. He made the trip Friday and as
far as any Il knew was feeling we'll
when he returned from work in the

morning or evening, but other persons
in the house thought nothing Of that
circumstance, as it was his habit to
leave early in the morning, and it
would have been possible for him to
have returned Saturday evening late
without being seen. However, when
