DR. 0- W. BURR1ER
JL-OUND   DEAD  IN HIS  OFFICE
LAST EVENING.
Some .Mystery Connected   With
"The Occurrence, But No
Foul Play.
The citizens of the city were shocked
about 7*30 last evening when the body
Of Dr. George W, Burrier, which had
evidently Iain lifeless three days and
was in a state of purification, was
found in his office in the bank building.
The doctor had announced that he
intended going to the southern part of
the state Tuesday morning, and this
being generally understood no -one
seemed to think strangely of his nonappearance upon tbe street, He
seemed well, and Monday evening attended the garden party, after which
he visited with several of his friends
and parbook of icecream. He retired
to his room and evidence shows that
about 11.30 p. m, he retired". Usually
he had some of the boys sleep with
him, as he liked company and preferred not to be alone, but this night
he had no room mate,
Dr. Burrier bad a iineteam which he
kept in the barn just north of the
Calkins where be took his meals, and
heretofore when going away he took
great precaution to leave his barn key
in the hands of some one who would
take the best of care of his horses.
Thursday noon it was discovered
that the team had been in tbe barn
without water or feed since Monday
night, and thru the hob weather the
beasts were nearly famished. This
kind of treatment to dumb animals
was so unlike the doctor's that suspicion was aroused In the minds of those
Who came in contact oftenest with
him that he hadn't gone south, and
this fact was mads more evident in
bhat no one saw him depart. Miss
Sophia,/ Stoll of the Calkins noticed that ohe windows of his sleeping
apartment were lowered from t_e top
and the o)inds were down, also a
loathsome odor filled the air in that
locality. Slie asked F. B, Doherty at
supper time if be would go over and
try to get into tbe office. Both doors
were locked and bhe rear transom was
open just far enough to allow Frank
to pull it wide open, which he did, and
there on the bed,with no covering, lay
the body of the doctor, colored, bloated, disfigured,—one of the ghastliest
sights ever witnessed. Ib is very
probable that he had been dead ab
leasb bhree days.
A coroners' jury was empaneled consisting of Dr. B, A. Gray, J, F, Tatman, B. H» Jenney, Henry Alger, Asa
Aldrich and L. JB. Davy. Tbe jury
investigated, after which they placed
tbe corpse in charge of 'undertaker
Thurston and adjourned till 10 a. m.
today. On the second convening of
the jury several witnesses were examined and while as we go to press the
jury have not reached a verdict, it
will doubtless be that he came to his
death from heart failure or from the
effect of a nervous chill, both of which
he is subject to as shown by evidence
of witnesses.
As we go to press arrangements
have not been completed for the funeral services, bub the remains will
doubtless be taken to his home for interment. His sister and Oscar Fish-
ley arrived from the southern parb of
bbe sbate on the afternoon train and
the remains will be taken to his home
on the 3 p, m. train, the Masonic
order accompaning his remains to the
depot. • We will give a biographical
sketch nexb week.

Baths.
Many people do not take proper care
of the body because of the inconvenience of bathing. This difficulty is now
overcome. Mr.O.J. Linendoll of Grand
Rapids was in Clare this week, showed
us the outfit, and we now nossess one
of the mosb convenlenb baths we 07er
saw. Tbe Claie Hardware Company
was given the agency and Mr, Linen-
doll will be here nexb week to help introduce the work. Following are testimonials which are self-explanatory:
FAitWE__, G—0—'99.
I have examined and unr-chased one
of the Phoenix lnclucbreal Go's bath
outfits and consider ib a very imporfc-
ant,and necessary addition eyen, to my
bathroom. The proper Use will insure
cleanliness and comfort during every
month of the year and should bo in
everv family. It has its especial advantages over the bath tub in winter
bathing, with friotional heat.
L. L. KEtxaay, M. D.
Haying examined the bath outfit in
question, I can say I heartily endorse
what Dr. Kelley u&s to say on tbe subject. Dk, F. O. Sansohd.

This is true when it comes to binders and mowers.
A farmer will either be pleased or .displeased
with his machine for years. So.a few dollars
extra for a CHAMPION MACHINE is a good
investment.
