Mystery in Death of Reinbeck Child

County Coroner L. H. Carpenter from this city was called to Reinbeck Thursday to look into the case of the death of a two months old child. The child had not been sick and was found dead in its bed Thursday morning. The mother, Mrs. Moffit who is keeping house for John Ohrt says the child was well when she got up in the morning to get breakfast, and that after breakfast when she went to look at the child it was dead.
