Muter William M. Allison,
ucond too of Mr·. W. M. AI·
Ibo·, bad his left arm broken
list Friday afternoon. The
fracture it a very ugly one and
ia calculated to give not a tittle
trouble before it is finally healed.
The interior of tbe court room
presented quite a handsome ap
pearance when court court tied
yesterday morning as the result
of tbe tenets! renovation it has
received during the past few
weeks.
There was quite an important
business meeting of tbe Civic
league in tbe court house last
Friday afternoon and it was well
attended. Tbe secretary report
ed that ■· · result of a canvass
of the town during tbe few days
previous, quite a number of
members had been secured, and
tbe treasurer reported subscrip
tions to the amount of about $75.
Mr. James Miskelly, aged
about sevens-five years, who
lived with hia son-in-law ou a
farm belonging to Dr. W. G.
White and located on the Piack
ney road about four miles west
of Yorkville, died suddenly yes·
terday afternoon at about )
o'clock, presumably from ap
oplexy. He walked out from
the house for some purpose ac
companied by a little grand
child, and from such information
as the child could give, seems to
have aat down and expired al
most instantly. Coroner Ιγοο
tbian went to tbe sçeoe yester
day afternoon, aecompauied by
Dr. J D. McDowell. The Dr.
wsj of tbe opinion that death

e dead body of Mr. Thomas
H. Bludwortb was taken from a
well on the premise* of P. Β.
Smith, at the corner of Congress
and Jefferson streets, at about I
o'clock this afternoon, The dit·
covery of the dead body vaa
pnrely accidental. Long con
tinned effort was made at resus»
citstioa, bat without result,
death having evidently occarred
several hours before
Mr. Bind worth waa a member
of the grand jury and no other
member of that body had seen
him since yesterday afternoon.
The reporter hears that several
people saw him this morning,
but the rumors have not been
verified. He bad employment
with the Yorkvillc Β. & M. Co.
The deceased was a son of the
late John Blodwortb and of Mrs.
M. A. BlndwoTth of Yorkvillc.
There are no braises or other
marks about the body to indicate
foul pl»y. and so far no one
seems to be able to give any
reason why the yonng man
should have committed suicide.
It is quite possible that legal ip
veaiigatiop may throw some
light on the mystery, It can be
stated positively that Mr. Bind·
worth was seen last night at
aboat 0:30 and that he appeared
to be io bis ns«al good spirits.
