avenue at 1870 o'clock this afternoon.

sick but about an hour and half.

wagon load of medicines and essences,
selling to those residing in the country.

here, where he disposed of large guam
tity of goods.
The oppressive heat of the forenoon
evidently fastened his death, for he
started for home about 1885, feeling
sick. AS he neared home he grew worse
and had to be taken from his team and
carried into the house. He managed to
say Send for DR.. Brown, Hart or any
doctpr-shock," and then he knew no
more. DR.. Brown was summoned, but
saw that there was no hope.
Deceased has not been in robust
health for quite a while, but has been
able to attend to his work. ApopleXy
was the cause of his death.

member of the G. A. r., having been its

ter, and came to town some thirty years
ago. The day Of his death was the 3Sd
