Christian Baier a 35 year old barber was found in an alley behind Matt's saloon at 38 East Marlott street Monday morning.

The coroner examined the body and the case was placed in the coroner's hands as investigators noted life insurance papers and naturalization records among Baier's belongings. Baier, a longtime city resident with a sister in town, had not worked for weeks and reportedly suffered epileptic fits.
