Cortrights Death
The Stroudsburg papers do not
state tbe facts in relation to the ac
tlou of District Attorney Bull with
respeot to investigating the cause of
death of C. W. Cortright of Porter
He did not refnse to do so but asked
that soma complaint or definite in
formation be given him, and as we
understand the brothers and sister
were satisfied that his death resulted
lrom natural causes. If there was
suspicion of violence it was the duty
o' the physician in attendance to re
fuse a death certificate' As there is
do ooromr in this county under the
ruling of tbe court a justice of the
peace should have something besides
unfounded rumor before be under
takes to make an investigation. Mr
Bull after inquiry of those best qual
lfled to know found there was no res
eon to apprehend anything of a criui
ioal nature connected with Court
rlghl'sdeatb. FOR SALE!!

for Surrogate a year ago, was prtsi.
d.mt of the Board of Education, cor
poration couusel and attorney for the
Erie. It. is hard to understand why
a mau so generally esteemed sad re
spected in a community, and with,
such excellent prospects and having
the aid of substantial triends should
precipitate himself and his family
into such a deplorable condition.
PossiVily he may return and clear
up tbe situation and it la sincerely
hoped such will be the case, but it
appears to be a sad affair of another
trusted mnn gone entirely wrong.
It is said his whereabouts is known
to bis family, that be Is now sick,
but will return and adjust bis affairs.
