this place died at the state asylun
last month. Walker. was sent owe
there from here in December on &C.
count Of q suicidal mania that be had
developed in the town Jail. He en-
deavored to kill himself in various
ways and finally attempted to beat biz

sary to confine him. He was in q very

mise was reached this week between
the promulg ators of the Phillips coun,
ty bill and the people of the proposed

date of enactment of the Phillips coun
ty bill, in case it becomes a law, has
been set for April 18th. which viii
give the new county OF Sheridan am

set At rest the fear that the passing o.
the Phillips county bill would invali
date the Sheridan county division
election.
