Corpse is Found at Coney Island

  John B. Davis, aged about sixty years, according to undertakers, was found 
dead in his cabin at Coney Island early this morning.  Death is said to have 
been caused by pneumonia.  An inquest will be held before Justice J.F. 
Cunningham, ex-officio coroner of Sparks at ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
  With no known relatives, according to Sparks officials and undertakers, 
Davis has lived alone in his Coney Island cabin for years.  He was last known 
to have been seen last Saturday night.  He was found this morning by a man who 
went to his cabin to see him, who saw the corpse through the window.  Justice 
Cunningham said he did not know the name of the man who found the dead man.
  Davis is said to have been the owner of some property in the Coney Island 
district.  Among his personal belongings was found evidence he had been a 
member of Shenandoah, Penn., I.O.O.F. Lodge No. 591.  No funeral arrangements 
have been announced.
