FARMER NOT MURDERED.

W. J. Kruger, a wealthy farmer, who, lived near Portsmouth was thought to have been murdered, his body being found by members of the family who had gone in search of him.

A coroner's jury decided that the death was accidental. Kruger who was a wealthy farmer, was found half a mile from home, with an ugly cut on the head. Evidence given at the inquest indicated that Kruger was subject to fainting spells and that he had fallen in a faint and broken his nose and skull.
