LAS VEGAS AGE
11/11/1916

DIED ALONE

    Pearl R. WILSON, a well known resident of this city, was found dead 
in room 7 of the Las Vegas Hotel Tuesday morning about 9:30. James 
CLARK unlocked the door of the room to find out why WILSON did not reply 
to knocks and found the dead body lying partially against the door and 
covered with blood.
    Coroner HARKINS held an inquest and from the evidence adduced it 
appeared that  WILSON was not seen alive after Sunday evening.
    The jury, composed of A. R. ANDERSON, foreman, J. H. LIGHTFOOD, 
Howard CONKLIN, D. A. POTTER, Lou MARTIN and J. A. DELAMETER brought in 
a verdict that death resulted "from a hemorrhage of the pulmonary canal 
superinduced by the excessive use of alcoholic stimulants." The 
deceased was 40 years of age and a native of Ohio.
    The funeral was held Thursday afternoon from the Chapel of the Las 
Vegas Undertaking Company.
