AQUEKR CHARACTER.
NICK Aarkrt, The HlckSter and Junkmdn Dies.-
Some 894 Found AnnOn1 HIS effects.

NICK Adrksrt The Huckster and JitnkmdR, Dies
Some S94 Found Among HIS effects.
Old Nick Markert who for several years past
made his home in the old shed on stabler's stone
yard in the Fourth ward, died in the stable Of DR.
Mathews, last Thursday morning about three
O'clock man named Rooms, who had charge
ofthe horses In the stable, was the only person
present. He said that for several months past
NICK had made the stable his headquarters. For
week or 80 previous to his death he had been
complaining Of lung trouble and DR.. L. slusser
bad been attending him. The Coroner took
charge OF the remains and reported death from
congestion Of the lungs Among his motley az.
sortment OF effects were found some s94 in money.
NICK came to Stark county, from Germany
NUMBER OF years ago and settled In Bethlehem
township where he followed his trade, that of
blacksmith. About three years ago 1t seems that
MS wife deserted him. and since that time, Nick
followed the career Of buckster and Junkmsn in
canton with his rlckety wagon and old horse. Nick
was o common sight on our streets. He bartered
with the farmers and sold the butter and eggs
and produce which he thus obtained, In Canton.
II Will be remembered that Nick was the same
party VINO was suspected Of the murder OF Henry
Pecher because blood marks had been found on
his Wag IN, and who was terribly frightened by a
gang OF masked men, who carrIed him several
miles below Canton, where Pecher was supposed
to have been murdered, and threatened him with
hanging unless he confessed. Personally, he was
quite sight to behold, HIS lorg hair struggling
beard, and general dilapidated attire formed
quite an interesting sight, and when mounted on
his wagon, with his old horse made picture
seldom equaled for vagAbondlsm. His shed on
the stoneyard, when he occupied 1t, was filed
and surrounded with all sorts OF old rubbish and
trash Anything and everything which Nick
could lay his hands on was taken to his Sbode'
The variety of the articles which he collected
would have rlvaled the far.ismed Curiosity
Shop" OF Dickens, To the man Koons, Nick said
before he died that he had mother In Vermont
and relatives In the West, and that he was 81
years old. His remains were buried Friday by
undertaken Barkley in the Potters field adjoln.
ing the cemetery. No mourners followed the re.
mains OF this queer character to the grave.
