On Tuesday morning about 11 o’clock the dead body of a man was found near the railroad tank at this place. It proved to be George Nelson, a poor fellow who had been about town several days, and who had, only a few hours before secured a commitment to the county poor farm. He had evidently gone to the railroad to wait for a train to Caldwell. Tim Driscoll, J. P., at the request of citizens, summoned a jury and held an inquest. Nothing of the man’s former residence or friends could be obtained. The jury returned a verdict that the death was caused from an overdose of morphine, the deceased having been addicted to the habit of using the drug. The deceased was turned over to Messrs. Zimmerman & Adam, undertakers, for burial.
