Sun STEoKE-A very severe case of sun
stroke occurred here on Monday afternoon last.
Mr.. Thos. Barnard was at work on vette's new
brick building At about 3 o'clock he suddenly
began to perform some rather queer antics, and
on being spoken to seemed to recover his facul.
ties, and sayiug that he was sick started for
home. As he entered the house. which was near
by, he became violently insane for few moments,
tearing everything to pieces in his reach. Then
he was quiet for short time. The neighbor-
came in and medical aid was promptly called
During the afternoon he had q number of
spasms, during which three or four of the
strongest men were required to hold him, and
at his request during ono of his sane intervals,
he was tied with ropes. Towards evening the
fits became lighter and less frequent, and at
midnight he fell into deep but natural sleep.
At last accounts yesterday he was getting much
better.

About two weeks ago Mr.. John Stack, man
possessed OF an inordinate love Of liquor, was
made the subject of serious Joke, which ended
fatally with him on Sunday morning last.
Mr. Fredenburg, the isilsr, had occasion to
clesp up the bedsteads in the Jail. He procured
a bottle of bed.bug poison-corrosive sublimate
and alcohol. The bottle was labeled Poison
He took it to the steps Of the Jail, to be used
upon the bedsteads, which were near by in the
yard, and, not being ready to use it immediate.
ly, put it away under the steps mentioned
Some young fellows who were at their usual
lounging place, on the fence of the Court House
yard, saw him with the bottle and where he put
it. Just then Mr.. Stack came up, and the boys,
knowing his fearful appetite for drink told him
they had just seen Fredenburg hide bottle of
whisky under the stepe, and advised him to 20
for it," He took their suggestion quickly and
in moment found the bottle and put it to his
lips, and was in the act of drinking when Mr..
Fredenbury appearing on the scene. seized the
bottle out Of Stacks hand, telling him that he
hal been drinking poison. Stack much fright.
ened, spat out some of it that was in his month
and running to the we'll riused his mouth with
water He went to au old warehouse, it appears
afterwards, where he WAS seized with pureipu
snd vomiting, and, after being intensely sick for
several hours, appeared to get better In day
or two he proved to be fesrfully salivated, his
mouth becoming very sore and his teeth coming
out He gradually gave way, his whole body
seeming to be gradually eaten up by the corro.
sive action of the poison. He died on Sunday
morning, as stated. His age was about 35 years
He leaves some orphan children, his wife having
died some time ago.

A Venerable and DistinSuished Visitor.


Some two weeks ago 1--WE have not had an
earlier opportunity of noticing the fact Judge
A. W. Cavalry, of this city, had visiting with
him Judge Samuel d. Lockwood, Of Batavia,
Kane county. Judge Lockwood has arrived at
the advanced age of SO years, is hale and hearty,
and in full possession Of his mental powers and
of wonderful vivacity. The biography of the
Judge is intimately associated with the history
of the State, having immigrated to kasksskia as
early as 1918; consequently he was among the
first settlers IN Illinois In 1926 he was elevated
to the Supreme Bench, position which he re-
tanned until he retired under the constitution OF
1S49. It may help to throw the mind back to
those now distant ii mes by stating that Judge
J. D. Cation, Judge T. Lyle Dickey, John V. A.
Hoes and George w. stipp all passed their exam
nations before, and received their licenses to
practice as lawyers from, Judge Lockwood. In
1852 Judge Lockwood was appointed Trustee of
the Illinois Central Railroad lands, position he
still holds.
In 1929 Judge Lockwood and Judge Cavsrly
rode on horseback, then the best means of transit
from Springfield to where Ottawa now stands
Arriving at the south bluff, they surveyed the
beautiful scene, but only one hut was visible
which WAS occupied by DR.. Walker, as Indian
Agent, and father of the Walkers now living
here. From here they proceeded 10 Chicago, en-.
countering only one house, or hut rather. in the
whole distance. Having good horses they ac.
complished the journey in one day, three others
who started with them from here having to camp
for a night on the hanks of the river. Chicago
then consisted of only three houses, and such
was the uninviting nature of the swamp at the
mouth of the Chicago river that the party, who
could have bought the whole of the present site
Of Chicago for a mere pittance, refused to invest
in speculation which offered such barren in.
ducements, and accordingly returned to the
southern part of the state. Judge Lockwood,
although an unambitious man, is possessed OF
considerable means. Many years ago he bought
two hundred acres of land in Kane county.
Since then the city of Batavia has sprung up
upon 1t, and he is said to be worth in conse.
quence some 100000. Few public men have
ever lived more eminent for integrity than Judge
Lockwood. He is literally unimpeachable, either
As public functionary or private individual,
while bis decisions as Judge Of the Supreme
Court are lasting monument TO his legal
acumen and scholarship.
