An inquest was held on Saturday, at the
Germantown Hotel, by the district coroner,
Dr. Forster Shaw, on the body of a man
named Auguste Triebler, who died early on
the previous day. The wife of the deceased
deposed that a little over three months
since the deceased had an attack of con-
vulsions, and complained of his back and
stomach being very bad. He was given
some ginger and gin and got better for a
time, but eventually got worse again, and
Dr Donaldson was sent for. He gave him
a powder about noon, and told his wife to
give him another at bed time. On last
Thursday night he was again taken, ill
with convulsions and the pains in his
back. The Rev. P. G. Jacobsen went for
Dr. Donaldson, but the doctor complained
of being tired and of having rheumatism in
the leg and said he could not attend. Dr.
Sibley was then sent for, and on arriving
about 3a.m. on Friday, found the de-
ceased suffering from tetanic spasms of a
very general character. The muscles of
the mouth were slightly congested, but
the muscles of the stomach and chest
were most contracted. The doctor stayed
there for about half an hour, having pre-
scribed powders to induce vomiting. He
then left to send other medicine, but the
deceased died about 6 a.m. on Friday.
From the fact that the deceased had been
working at the tannery in winter
doctor thought he might have died of the
idiopathic tetanus, although death is not
usually induced so quickly in that. Dr.
Carstairs deposed to having made a post
mortem examination, and gave it as his
opinion that death was caused by convul-
sions resulting from congestion or inflam-
mation of the kidneys. The fact that de-
ceased had been working in the water
would favor the opinion that idiopathic
tetanus was the cause of death. Constable
