Attorney General Richard M. Milburn Dead.

Richard M. Milburn, attorney-gen-eral of Indiana, died suddenly at his home in Indianapolis Tuesday after a general decline in health for the Past year, although he had been confined to the house only a few weeks. The funeral was held from his late residence Wednesday morning, and the body taken to his old home at Jasper, Ind., for burial. Mr. Milburn sought the nomination for attorney-genenfT three times, but was only successful in receiving the same in the 1914 campaign. He was elected by a good plurality with the rest of the Democratic ticket, but his health began to fail soon after entering upon the duties of his office last January. He visited Rensselaer while making his Campaign for the nomination and met quite a number of our local Democrats while here. He was the choice of Jasper county for the nomination in his last campaign at least, and his friends here will be sorry to learn of his sudden death. Mr.. Milburn was a native of Dubois county, Ind., having been born upon a farm there Sept. 24, 1865. He leaves a wife, one daughter and four sons. His successor will be appointed by (Iqyernor Ralston.
