Ex-Treasurer Herbert Dead.

William Herbert, a leading citizen of
New Castle, Del, died Thursday even
ing after long illness. William Her
bert was born in Philadelphia. July
1929, moved to New Castle with his
parents in early boyhood, and remained
there the rest of his life. He learned
the trade of machinist, but afterwards
entered the mercantile business. which
he successfully followed.
In 1866 he was elected Sheriff Of
New Castle county on the Democratic
ticket, and during his term of office
distinguished himself by preventing
the prize fight between Collver and
Kelly, which had been arranged tn
take place in this State, close to the
pennsylvania line. Alone and upaided
sheriff Herbert went to the place. and,
entering the ring, threatened to arrest
the hrst combatant that attempted to
night. His determined attitude over-
awed the pugillsts, and they went into
Pennsylvania and had the fight there.
Mr.. Herbert was elected Treasurer
Of New Castle county in 1875, and held
lhe office for 20 years. He was elected
State Treasurer in 1887, and held this
'mce four years. AS a shrewd and
'hle politician Mr.. Herbert had no
in the State. He was chair.
nan of the Democratic County Com
nittee during numerous campaigns
lnu also served on the State Commit
ee. He was prominent Mason and
Odd Fellow.
