THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH
or Colonel Jesse order, sheriff OF
Crittenden County, Ark.


or Colonel Jesse order. sheriff Of
Crittenden County, Ark.
Intelligence was received yesterday
that Colonel Jesse S. Order, sheriff of
Crittendeu county, Arkansas, had sud.
denly died at Marion, his disease being
pronounced bilious collie" by the at.
tending physician. whose name is not
given.
The death was so sudden and unex-
pecied that the friends and relatives of
the deceased suspected, or believed, that
his death was the result Of foul play, and
consequently it was decided that a post
mortem examination of the body should
be had in this city. The remains of the
deceased was placed in the undertaker''s
establishment Of Hoist & Bro, and the
post norton examination was made by
Dr.. Rogers and sou, assisted by DR.. He.
Der Jones. The stomach aud contents
were removed, but nothing Of q suspi-
cious character was discovered. The
contents Of the stomach will undergo a
chemical analysis, and the result will be
anxiously awaited. The physician who
attended Sheriff Order OF the time of
his death was moi present to give a de.
tail Of the symptoms developed previous
to death. Yesterday afternoon the re.
mains of Mr.. Order were sent to Hele-
ma, Arkansas, for intermeEt, via the
steamer Illinois, Sheriff Orders wife
and brother are buried at Helena.
Colonel Order was a brave and gen
erous man, noted for a warm and i'm.
puIsive disposition and an honorable
character, which made him fearless in
the discharge Of his duties. He was
elected sheriff last year, and since then
has been prompt and faithful in attend.
ing to the duties of his office. The even
ing before his death he supped with
Mr.. Lewis, who was his opponent in
the race for the shrievalty. So far
as we know these gentlemen we're
on friendly terms and this suspicion Of
foul.play, vi hope, will not, for it should
not, affect the character OF Mr.. Lewis.
There is cause to believe that certain
affairs Of an official nature in Crittenden
county rendered Colonel Orders hon
esty and integrity of conduct distastefdI
to parties interested. AS the matter will
undergo a rigid and thorough examina.
ton we withhold comment. In the death
Of Colonel Order Arkansas loses a good
officer, a brave man aud a respected citi.
zen.

cles of trade With our red predecessors.
