About noon while sitting in the store of Badgley & Hall he was taken with a chill, and was assisted home oy Mr. Warder. As soon as he arrived home he was put to bed and Dr. Everingham summoned. He | sank rapidly and at 4 o'clock Mon- day morning breathed his last. The , were conducted | funeral services at the Baptist church, of which he was av honored member, at 2 o'clock | yesterday evening, conducted by Rev. | Stockton, after which the aged re- mains were laid to rest in Oak Hill cemetery. Col. Heath was in his 83rd year, and has been declining in health for several months. He came to the city from Kentucky several years age, and was several times in suo eession elected constable of this township. He was a democrat in politics and always took an active part in the deliberations of his party. No mau was better known in this community and no man stood higher as a good citizen and neighbor. He realized this failing condition of his bealth, and often made the remark that he nad ben permitted to live and enjoy life over the allotted time and that he had long since made! preparation for the future and stood ready to obey the summons at any moment. He is gone now, and, al | though he had been permitted to. live to a ripe old age, it was with | sorrow his many friends followed hi remains to their last resting place. Last week Henry Chrisman, a sa- loon keeper at Rich Hill, and James Harkins, deputy sheriff of Baten | county, got into a fight when the latter was stabbed in the abdomen. For a time it was feared that Har- kins could not recover, but later ree ports are that he is getting better. The knife used was a new double edged dagger. The cause of the trouble, as near as we could learn, was over the arrest of Chrisman by Harkins for selling whisky without a | license. Chrismas escaped from his captor and Haskins claimed he vio- lated a trust. Chrisman claims that | Harkins had been following him all } the afternoon threatening to whip! him and that he acted in self defense. | He was arrested but no one appear- | ing against him he was discharged. | Messrs. Walton and Tygard have | jreturned from St. Louis, where they went last week to purchase the{mains ; for the watrr-works.
