MCCONNELL - An Irishman, a stranger, on Sunday morning last, went to 
the culvert, near the residence of Mr. Peter Empfield, in Logan 
township, and fell into the creek.  Some of Mr. Empfield's family saw 
him and went to his assistance, when it was discovered that he was 
laboring under an attack of mania-a-potu and he struggled in one fit 
after another until five o'clock, when he died. Coroner Humes held an 
inquest, and the jury rendered a verdict according to the above facts. 
He had in his possession a bunch of keys, and was supposed to be named 
McConnell. He was buried by Undertaker Hickey.
