Will Horn dies in Brush Creek Beat - Relatives Suspicious and Have Examination Made. William Horn died at his home in Brush Creek Beat last Thursday nighter after an illness of only a few hours. Mr. Horn was apparently in good health until Thursday morning, and was taken violently ill shortly after eating breakfast. Doctor Jeff Jones was summoned and after a short time it appeared that he was all right. He was taken with another attack Thursday night and died before a physician could reach him. On account of the nature of his illness, his relatives and friends became suspicious, and secured the services of Doctor C.B. Robinson and Doctor John V. Howell, who went to his home and removed the viscera and brought it to Marion for examination. Capt. H.L. Baer made an examination of the contents of the stomach, but found no poison, but it's stated that relatives will also have an examination made by a State Chemist. Mr. Horn is survived by his wife and two children, besides a large number of other relatives.
