J. C. Helms of Remsen was found dead in his bed yesterday morning. Coroner Gray was called but thought it unnecessary to hold an inquest. He pronounced the cause of death as heart failure brought on by the excessive use of intoxicating liquors. Mr. Helms leaves a family who are in good financial circumstances. –LeMars Globe.
