Cramps Kills South Forker
Coroner E. L. Miller went to Sonman on Sunday to investigate the death of Daniel Brown, aged 43, of South Fork, who was found dead on the porch of a store at that place. It was rumored that the man had been poisoned, but an investigation proved this to be false.
Dr. Miller found that the man had been to Jimstown on Saturday night and was on his way to Sonman to visit his relatives. When he at last arrived in the town he was evidently seized with cramps, when he was found his face was drawn as if he had gone through great agony and both hands were pressed over his abdomen. The coroner's jury empanelled by Dr. Miller found that the man came to his death through natural causes. |
