Loran, Feb. 2L -The remains of Al- bert Carty, whose mother and sister live on concession 10, Biddulph, two miles from Granton, were brought home from Chicago for interment on Sunday. Accompanying the remains was a woman, who claims to be the wife of the young man, and who tette rather a conflicting story regarding the cause of his death. It is suspected front a► letter received by the young man's mother from a very close ft iend of Cat'ty's that death was caused by suffocation from gas; that tbere is evi- dence of hod play, and that the woman who accompanied the remains is not the young man's wife. Dr. Chas.Iatng, of Granton, made a most thorough ex- amination of the body and found a suspicious -looking bruise on the temple and n)u' side of the face was badly marked. Dr. Lang is making every effort by telegraph with the authori- ties at Chicago to clear the mystery. Albert Carty was about. 28 years of age and left here five years ago for Detro- it, where he remained for about a year, going from there to Chicago as night clerk in one of the hotels. Last sum- mer he made a two weeks' visit to bis t n here, and was apparently ros- pt-runs and satisfied with his life in Chicago. He is supposed to have had on deposit in one of the city banks in Chicago between $800 and $1,000. He also has his share in the farm now be- ing managed hy his mother and ynnng- er brother. His burial took place on Tuesday at 2 p.m. at St. Janes ceme- tery. Clandeboye,and was followed sty a large number of friends. LATER.—The relatives at once began an inquiry to ascertain whether Carty was married and Tuesday night a tele- gram was received from Chicago that the deceased was legally wedded to Miss Cora Sainsbur to that city some time ago, and that Mrs. Carty had ac- companied the bodyto Biddulph. Then it transpired that Dr. Lang, who ex- amined the body, had found no evi- dences of foul play. The only mark on the deceased was over the temple, but it was only a superficial abrasion and in no case could have caused death. To Dr. Laing the widow stated that Carty and herself occupied seperate ronatts in a flat in Chicago. On Friday' night one of the pipes in the bedroom occupied by Carty burst, allowing the gas to escape. iu the morning when she awoke and went to Carty's room she found him suffocated. Mrs. Carty is about 38 or37 years of age. 1 Zurich Greenway Misses Alice and Carrie Wilson left Thursday on a visit to their brother in London, and also to attend the annual CortserVa'Liolle at Alma College, St. Thomas. -The special services con- ducted by Rev.
