A week before he had injured the index finger of his left hand and infection followed and this was the cause of his death. City Marshal W. R. Shesler/ who lived a farm neighbor to Mr. Bickel, was called over to see him the first of the week and he realized then that death was almost certain to ensue. ’ tMr. Bickel came to Jasper county from Chenoa, 111., about twenty years ago, and he was a man of excellent standing in his community. He ’leaves a wife and five children, three daughters land two sons. The funeral arrangements had not been completed this morning, but it is- thought probable that it will be held Sunday.
