Ter, Of the Northern Methodist Church,
and a refugee from Memphis, died Of vel.
low fever here at l2 o'clock last night,
producing much excitement. While all
agreed that his body should be quickly
buried to prevent the possibility OF the
infection spreading, it was with the ut
most difficulty that anyone could be found
who was willing to assist In the interment.
A grave near the isolated house in which
he died was hastily dug by the aid OF
lamps, candles and brush fires, and at 2 A.

quickly buried by four men, who, finding
no one else would do it, performed that
office.

burial, when it became generally known
to the people oi Shelbyvflle this morning,
created widespread CONSERVATION, and the
excitement increased 10 such an extent
each succeeding hour that threats have
been made to burn the house in which he
died, and which will probably be done.
