Girl Dies at Barnesboro

  As a result of the investigation into the death of Miss Dollie Tyger 
of Gypsy, Indiana County, who died in Barnesboro on Sunday, apparently 
from the effects of criminal malpractice, Dr. J. C. Miller of 
Jeannette, will be held to answer the serious charge of having 
performed a criminal operation and Harry Patterson of Arcadia, Indiana 
county, will be held as an accessory.
  The inquest into the death of the young lady was conducted Friday 
afternoon by Coroner Miller.  The testimony aside from that given by 
the father of the dead girl, who apparently had been kept in ignorance 
of the girl's condition prior to his having been notified by the doctor 
at Barnesboro a few days ago, was all of a professional nature, being 
intended to prove that the girl had died from the effects of 
malpractice.
  In the ante-mortem statement, Miss Tyger told that the operation 
which was responsible for her death had been performed in the office of 
Dr. Miller of Jeannette and that her expenses at that time and since 
then had been paid by Harry Patterson.
