FOUND DEAD IN BED.

  On Saturday morning about 7 o'clock, Mrs. Mary Dingeldine, widow of 
the late Carl Dingeldine, residing in the neighborhood of Crawford
avenue and Fifth street, fed her 1-year-old daughter Mary and laid it on
the bed while she went to attend to some household duties.  At about 10
o'clock it was discovered that the child was dead.  Later in the day it
was thought best by some parties that an inquest should be held and
Coroner Glenn was accordingly notified.  This was about 7 o'clock.  He
repaired to the scene and impannelled the following jury, which after
viewing the remains and taking testimony rendered a verdict to the
effect that the cause of the child's death was due to convulsions:
Robert L. Gracy, Isaac Oatman, John Griffith, J. F. Meck, J. W. Fleming,
jr., and Joseph Fisher.
