Shepard P. Hazard. for many years
with the firm of j. C. johnson & Co.,
Wholesale grocers, and we'll known to
travelling men throughout the country, ia
insane. This news will be an awful blow
to his many friends. Mr.. Hazard is SO
years of age and was known throughout
the country as travelling man OF wide OK
perience. A year and half ago his
mental faculties began to fsil him. His
doctor attributed his mental depression
to overwork and advised him to take
recreation. He never was himself again,
however, and grew worse and worse un-
til last Sunday night, when he was re-
moved from his home in South Mime
apolis to the Asbury hospital for treat
ment. Monday night he became deliri-
Gus and had to be taken to the county
Jail. y
Mrs. Jacob Barge died at Ii o'clock
last Monday night at her home, 1904
Chicago avenue, after an illness of several
weeks. Blood poison, resulting from an
liberated tooth, was the cause of death.
She had been lingering between life and
death for the last week, and consequently
her death Monday night was not wholly
unexpected. Her health was of the best
until three weeks ago when she expert
enced trouble with one Of her teeth. She
went to the dentist and had it extracted.
The poisonous matter from the tooth was
absorbed into her system and although
the best medical aid that was to be had
was procured, her death soon followed.
She rallied last Saturday night and Sun
day was resting quietly. Monday fore
noon, however, there was change for
the worse and she seemed to realize that
her life was fast ebbing away. She was
conscious until the time of death. Mr..
Barge was sent for shortly before his
wife passed away and arrived just as she
was breathing her last. The deceased
was middle-aged and had been resi-
dent of Minneapolis for great many
years. She was formerly Miss Louisa
Gessart. She leaves two children, Louisa
and Emma.
The board of county commissioners
held an adjourned meeting Monday.
The most important business transacted
was the decision of the board to prose-
cute the sureties of the American Ex-
change, Farmers and Merchants and
State banks, and the Bank of New Eng
land for the amount of county funds they
held on deposit, approximately $4,000,
lat the time they became insolvent. The
Citizens Bank has already paid divi-
dend to the county of $4,000, and the
Commercial has also paid a portion.
County Attorney Nye was directed to
bring suit at once 30 that the cases may
be tried at the next general term Of
court. The Wyzata road, contracted FOR
by Tobin & Gleason, came up again.
James Tobin was present and it was
found that there was $6l5 due the firm
for work done this summer, while the
expenses footed up $500. The board Of
equalization met 2 o'clock and began
the examination Of assessors returns of
personal property, completing it in about
two hours. But few changes were made
in the returns. W. r. Cowan, of Mime
tonka, appeared before the board, plead
ing that as light valuation as possible
be placed upon property in that town.
The death of Miss Mary Hoey, which
occurred at the family residence, 337
Second street northeast, at 3 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon, was particularly
sad occurrence. The deceased lady was
% years Of age and the Oldest daughter
of John Hoey, who recently came with
his family from Oooperstown, N. Y. to
Minneapolis to reside. Joseph Hoey, q
brother of the deceased, has been a resi-
dent Of this city for number of years,
and it was through his earnest solicita-
tions that the family, consisting of his
aged father and three sisters, removed to
this city, thus uniting the family once
more with the exception of son and
brother, Mr.. William Hoey, who arrived
here from Montana before his sisters
death. During their short residence in
this city they have already formed a
large circle of warm friends, and the
happiness and contentment which pre-
vailed in their new home is now turned
