There is the case of Johann Gerber, a man who had worked at Degner's brewery, on Blum street, for several months. Yesterday morning he was apparently quite well and drunk rather freely. He dined with the Degner's, and was then apparently all right. He went for a walk with George Rilling, and soon after said he did not feel well, his head ached, and he would go back. This was about 3:30. An hour later he was seen by Charles Degner lying in the brewery yard. Degner spoke to him, but failed to get any intelligible answer, and as he had seen Gerber drinking he came to the conclusion that he was drunk. He had taken off his coat, vest and collar, and thrown them into the yard. Degner tried to get him to bed, and as he could not do so he drew him to the gallery, put ice water to his head and he seemed easier. About 6 o'clock some children went near him and found that he was dead. Information of the death was conveyed to Justice Adam and an inquest was held. Evidence having been given in accordance with the foregoing the Jury returned a verdict that the deceased died from natural causes, his death being doubtless due to sunstroke.
The deceased came here from Germany and has no property. He is related to the Epps family.
