Baby Found Dead in Bed; Slept With Its Parents.

County Coroner Dr. C. E. Johnson was called to the farm home of Bert Mitchell, 5 miles west of Medaryville and in Gillam township, this Saturday morning. A baby boy two months of age had been found dead in bed when its parents awoke in the morning. Dr. Johnson found that the baby had smothered beneath the covers and the verdict was accidental death from strangulation. The parents have three older children.
