Saginaw News, July 23, 1898
Cheboygan, July 23, 1898
Artie Horton, a 4-year-old child died suddenly Wednesday afternoon, a short time 
after being taken to a doctor. The doctor ordered the child taken home at once 
and prescribed. Soon after reaching home the child died. Poison was suspected. 
The coroner, Dr St Amour, impanneled a jury and held an inquest. The examining 
physicians, Drs Williams and Tweedale, gave as their opinion that the child died 
from compression on the lungs and pressure upon the heart from the distended 
pleural cavities, and not from poisoning or any contagious disease. The jury 
returned a verdict in accordance with the facts. The doctors who made the post 
mortem examination were astonished at the condition of the body as the mother 
said the child only complained the day before, while the condition of the body 
showed disease had been present for some time.
