Coroner Zimmerman of Marshall county, held an inquest last Wednesday at Lawn Ridge over the body of "Short" George Jackson of the south county line, who died suddenly at the house of Jim Campbell the night previous. The coroner's investigation developed the fact that Jackson had been down to Chillicothe on Tuesday, where he had drank considerable liquor, and on the way home he had stopped at Campbell's place with two or three others, all more or less intoxicated, when he suddenly sank down and expired.
