SUDDEN DEATH IN UNION.

Coroner Wright was called to Fair Oaks Wednesday by the sudden death of Jameß A. Caldwell, of Pontiac, HI., who died at his farm some two miles east of Fair Oaks at about 2 a. m., Wednesday of heart disease. Mr. Caldwell had come to the farm from Pontiac only Tuesday and retired that night in his usual health. About 2 o’clock in the morning he called to his tenant J. L. Myers, and the latter started to go to his room, but Mr. Caldwell had gotten out of bed and met him in the sitting room and fell into his arms, expiring without uttering a word. The coroner decided there was no need of his servioes in an official capacity, but assisted in preparing the remains for shipment to Pontiac, whioh was done Thursday.
