CORONER CALLED TO TEFFT

Wednesday Morning to Investigate Death of Herman Dahlmann. Coroner Wright was called to Tefft Wednesday morning to investigate the death of Herman Dahlaeann, who had been found dead that morning at the home of Ernest Trelchel, the Tefft groceryman, with whom he had made his home for the past 38 years. "Herman,” as lh.e was generally known —few people knowing his last name—had evidently died of heart trouble during the night, and in a death struggle had rolled out of bed, taking the bed clothing with him, and was found lying on his face dead next morning. The body was shipped to Hammond, we understand, for burial, he having a sister residing there. Deceased was a German Pole, and used to work as a farm hand years ago for the /father of J. J. Hunt, John P. Ryan and others in Gillam # township. He was about 58 years of age.
