said i "It is tho duty of a coroner to hold

that the decedent was feloniously destroy
ed, or when Ids death was caused by vio
lence." "Tho object of the in.
quest Is to seek information and secure evl
deneo in caso of dcnlh by violence or oth

suspect that death was so caused. It be
comes tlio duty nf the coroner to hold an

rigid to hold an Inquest when It Is known
death resulted from natural causes, and
"there Is no reason why the county should
pay for unuec-essaiy and meddlesome ser-vices."
