A special from Lincolnton says the body of young Percy Link was found dead by the roadside two miles East of town at 7 o’clock this morning. A coroner’s jury was empaneled, and according to evidence given, the young man with several companions had been drinking more or less the night before, and it is thought perhaps they might have gotten hold of some new brandy and took too much with fatal results. The verdict of the jury was alcoholic poisoning.
One of the sad features connected with the tragedy was the fact that he was to be married next week.
