Coroner’s Jury Fails to Find Cause AN UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR Last Saturday evening, Marshal Benschoter arrested Gotlieb Laier, who was claimed to be under the in fluence of liquor, and after some diffi culty placed him in jail, where about 10 o’clock Sunday evening he died. Such are the facts in the main. On Monday morning, about 10 o’clock Dr. A. S. Main, coroner of the coun ty, at the instance of German friends of deceased, called a jury and after the day had been occupied in listen ing to witnesses in regard to the death of deceased, followed by an autopsy of the remains, the jury brought in the following verdict: State of Nebraska, l „ County of Sherman, f At an inquisition held at the office of Lewis A. Williams, in Loup City. Sherman county, Nebraska, on the 19ih day of November. A. D. 1900, before me. A. S. Main, coroner of said county, upon the body of Gotlieb Laier, lying dead, by the jurors whose names are hereto subscribed, the said jurors upon their oath do say that said Gotlieb Laier died on the 18th day of November. I90fi. in Sherman county, Ne braska. and that he came to his death by reason of a fracture uf the skull, resulting in a rupture of a blood vessel aDd a blood clot on the brain, from causes unknown to us. In testimony whereof, the said jurors have hereunto set their hands the day and year aforesaid. Loris Rein, Frank S Robbins, LebC. Everett, J. P. Leininger, D. M. Gue, William Rowe. Juro-s. As near as we can ascertain from listening to the evidence before the jury and from what we could glean from those cognizant of the facts, Gotlieb Laier. who owns a large farm of three-quarters of a section, lying a few miles southwest of Loup City, came to town and indulged more or less in ardent spirits and when under the influence of drink, being of a quarrelsome nature, and having form ed an enmity for .Marshal Benschoter, sought out that officer with trouble brewing in his mind. According to reports and the evidence, the marshal and he came in contact two or three times in the afternoon, each time the marshal trying to get Laier to go home. About dusk, the marshal at tempted the arrest of Laier, and in so doing, Laier resisted, but was later placed in jail with the assistance of an outsider called by the marshal. After being placed in jail, Laier was found later lying on the floor, with his head resting on an iron rod along the wall, on which he seemed to have fallen. Finding the man in this con dition upon returning to the jail, the marshal placed him upon his cot and again left him alone. A little later he returned and found the prisoner had falle/i from the cot to the floor ana pjacea mm on the cot, propping the side up with chairs to prevent rolling off. The man still remaining in the unconcious state he had been since found when tirst returning to the jail, the marshal remained watch ing him until past midnight, when he went home, the prisoner not re turning to a conscious state. In the morning, when the marshal repaired to the jail with breakfast, he found the prisoner as he had left him the night before, evidently having failed to return to consciousness. This con tinued till noon, when the marshal becoming alarmed over the state of affairs called a physician, who found Laier breathing heavily and in a comatose state, and bringing his medical skill to aid found the patient in a serious condition and death im minent, said condition so continuing till 10 o’clock that (Sunday) night when death ensued. There is a great deal of talk over the case, but the Northwestern ab stains from printing any of the com ment, only aiming to give the bare facts, which appear substantiated. Whether there will be anything fur ther done in the case, we are unable to say. We understand our German citizens nave taken charge of the re mains and will attend to all details. Just what disposition will be taken with the body of deceased and when the funeral will take place is so far undecided, as relatives have been written and are still unheard from. We understand Mr. Chas. Scliwaderer has been appointed administrator of the dead man's estate, which is said to amount to some $15,000. Latek—As we go to press, tele grams have just been received from a sister of deceased in Canada that she will be here in a few days, and from the home of a brother in Brit ish America that the brother is awav from home, so that probably, by ad vice of the undertaker, the funeral will not be postponed later than to morrow (Friday). This editorial household is enjoying a visit from the editor’s niece, Miss Bertha Burleigh of Hemingford, Neb., who arrived last Friday evening and will remain the winter at least. She has had entire charge of the telephone exchange at that place for several years past, but resigned her position for a much needed rest. She is the eldest daughter of Rev. C. H. Burleigh, for the past twelve years or more secretary of the Northwest Nebraska M. E. Conference. Rev. H. S. Wold informed the Northwestern yesterday that he had decided to accept the call from South Dakota to act as district missionary and will take up the work about the tirst of January. In the meantime I he will remain pastor of the Baptist church at this place, the membership endeavoring to find a pastor to take up the work here by the time his resignation takes effect. Rev. Wold is an earnest, energetic Christian minister and has made hosts of friends outside as well as in the church, who will regret his leave-taking, but will wish for him and his estimable fami ly success in the new field of labor. We received a pleasant call on Mon day from Wm. Hunker of Bristol, who had just returned from Taylor, in Loup county, where he had been spending a few weeks with his friend, A. L. Holmes, son of our good friend, Geo. Holmes of Bristol. Young Mr. Holmes has a sectional homestead near Taylor and is doing finely, says Mr. Hunker, and in evidence brings some immense samples of potatoes grown by A. L. on the sandiest soil on the homestead, which weigh in the neighborhood of a pound each. We are always glad to hear of the enterprise and energy displayed by the young men of our country and in the above case wish for the young man unbounded success in his new home. avfc.L.'V' '<i __c i ^ ^ _*l ’1 »i v < » \ u \\ PERFECT SATISFACTION is enjoyed at all THANKSGIVING DINNERS when the TURKEY is baked in a GREAT MAJESTIC RANGE.
