LINCOLN, May 9. (Special,) At the fu

nounced to be held at tho family residence,
202 S street, this afternoon, Deputy Sheriff
Nicholas Hess suddenly appeared In the
ofllclHl role of uctlng coroner and de
manded the person of the dead body tor the
purpose of holding an Inquest and ascer
taining the cause of his sudden taking oft
Tho matter was finally compromised by
the relatives placing the body In a vault
and agreeing to nllow the Inquest to pro
ceed tomorrow.
Last Monday Arthur, who was only 14
years of ago, was playing ball with com-

It was generally believed that heart dls- i mncou. leal n-soclatlcn concluded their meet
ease caused his death. Somo said that nf? wlth an nthlctlc contest on the uni-
the boy was a cigarette victim and died
from the Injurious effects of overlndul
Recce In ,thts hnblt. but there Is no evi
dence to show thai he was addicted to tho
vice. Today It was reported that the
bo had caught his foot In a defective
sidewalk nnd was thrown to the ground,
the shock causing Injurle3 that led to his
death.
Shortly beforo the funeral was scheduled
to leave the houso City Attorney Strode
heard this rumor. IIo Immediately scented
a damage suit against the city and began
looking for Coroner Graham. This officer
was nut of town. The attorney dashed to
the sheriffs office and demanded an In
quest. The sheriff could do nothing but
obey nnd sent Deputy Hoss to request that
the parents, sign a waiver relieving the
city from all damages, or deposit tho body
in a vault nnd allow the Inquest to bo
held later. They chose tho latter course
and tho coroner will try to ascertain tho
tnuso of death tomorrow.
Selection ft Slnte I'nlr Site.
Tho members of the Board of I'ubllc
Lands and Buildings this morning turned
their attention to tho selection of a state,
fair site and spent tho most of the day In
a shopping tour, visiting the two proposed
sites. In the morning they took a trip
out to the old state fair grounds and In
vestigated the buildings and explored every
nook nnd corner of the grounds. This sltn
has been offered to the board for $22,300.
The state officials were led to berlcve that
this amount-represented about 50 per cent
of the nctual cost of the land and build
ings. Furthermore, It was nsserted that
the common people of Lincoln owned a
controlling Interest In tho site. It sluco
appears that one J. D. McFarland pos
sesses i rich chunk of the stock, In tact, a
controlling Interest, nnd that ho bought
most of his shares at 10 cents on the dol
lar. At least this Information has been
transmitted to tho board nnd the members
seem perfectly satisfied concerning Its
truthfulness.
In the afternoon Burlington beach was
visited. Hero the leaso right to 500 acres
of land, without buildings, has,, been ..offered.
! to the. sta,te,for Jip.000. Tho members tir
the State Hoard of Agriculture aro anxious
to have tho matter settled, as no further
state fair preparations can bo made until
the site Is selected. The Board of Public
Lands nnd Buildings will probnbly come to
some decision tomorrow.
.Morton Ridicule Slnrch Humor.
J. Sterling Morton, who spent last night
in tho city attending to private business,
ridicules tho statement printed in tho fu
sion papcrn that ho trust octopus has its
(cntaclcs clasped about his starch plunt at
Nebraska City and will eventually crush
from the enterprise all life. He scouted
tho rumor that the startling campaign
prophecy of ex-Attorney General Smyth,
tclattvo to the ultimate closing of the plant,
would omc true, and the Argo factory
ceaso doing business. !! Insisted that
summer was tho dull season for the stareh
makers aud was therefore the time chosen
by all wise manufacturers for making
necessary' repairs. To a Bee reporter ho
said:
"The starch factory always idoscs for a
short tlmn each summer. This season of
the year U always dull and the price of
cereals high.' About this time wo usually
repair tho plant and get ready for the
new crop. Permission has been secured
from tho city authorities to extend the
building across another street nnd in a
month or so we "will be employing raoro
men than ever. All our help will be kept
busy In making tho Improvements and will
notjr thrown on of work."
