Jones telegraphed to Sheriff Farr, (who by the way bad been quietly at work searching for his man) whereupon Farr tele graphed to tbe Sheriff of Knox co. to arrest Buskirk. This tbe Knox county official flatly refused to do, and so Farr sent Deputy Sheriff Wilson after the man.

form of heart trouble. Sharp's father was a cigar maker, and many years ago resided in Bloomington, in the bouse at present owned by Recorder Talbott, and kept shop where Bass' barber shop now is.

It was found that tho deceased had euffercd from fatty degeneration of the heart, and Unit a tumor had developed in the left a twior portion of the brain, and had pressed over on the right side, causing softening: of the right anterior portion of that organ. Tbe immediate cause of death, however, tbe physical pronounced to be the fall upon his fiico and bead at. Fort Wayne about a month ago, though Dr. CI. I. Fletcher said that death would have ultimately resulted from the heart and brain affections mentioned. Sr. W. B. Fleother stated that in all his practice he bad known of bat one other case in which the heart was in such a degenerated condition. AtrShnrpe carried considerable life and accident insurance. It is known that be had $2,000 in tho Commercial Travelers' Mutual Association, and $5,000 accident insurance with a New York company.

The entire Bloomington township tax is 54 cents this year, just as it was last, and not higher, as some seem to think on the contrary it is lower than in 1887, when it was 56c. Last year,and for several years, the tax for township purposes was 20 and 23 cents, while tbe tuition tax was but 10c. As a result the schools of the township could only be held tliree or four months. Mr. Massey, at the request of many tax-payers, has this

year placed the township fund tax at o. and the tuition tax at 84c., so that the schools may run six months. But tbe total tax is precisely what it was last year 54 cents. Trustee Massey deserves credit for making this change, as it gives the various districts of the township longer school terms, while the expenses of the township are at the same time fully provided for without increasing the taxes. Fifty years ago last Thursday John B. Buskirk was married. It was intended that there should be a family reunion at the home here last Thursday, but the aickuess of John W. Buskirk prevented this.
