The little son of Mr. and Mrs.' Albert: Cox, living near Beardstown in thin county, died Saturday of diphtheria. The cases at the home of Alvin Zellers in Winainac are improving. J Three adjusters, representing the nine insurance companies interested in the loss of the Myers elevator, were here last Friday—just six days, after the fire —-and settled in full ar $ 10,047.90. John W. Burget, formerly one of the aggressive and enterprising citi-j zens and business men of this corn- j munity, was here the first of the week visiting with his son Garfield and family and old friends. He has been living on their old home place near Newman, 111., hut he is contemplating a change to Valparaiso. . j The Tribune is in receipt of the Irorpiois County Democrat, mailed to! this office by Mrs. Grace Musgrave Taylor, a former resident of this] community. Across the top of the paper is a large headline in black type stating That the recent cyclone I which started in that country and swept across Indiana injured fourteen people there,, three of which re-] suited fatally since then, and damaged property to the amount of $('>00,000. The point hardest hit was Beavervilie, where scarcely a build-1 ing was left untouched by the ravages of the storm. The tornado struck there about 0 o’clock and about 10 it sw.ept through White i county below us which will give, the] readers some idea as to the velocity' it was traveling. The damage in, the two states is estimated at over j $2,000,000. A sudden and unexpected death was that of Mrs. Albert Anderson which occurred at the family resi- j dence in Francesville Saturday even ’ ing about 6 o’clock. The cause of her death was uremic poisoning, the re’sult of having been almost asphyx- ] Sated on Thursday morning from the fumes that escaped from their base burner. The night before when Mr. Anderson returned front town the lire was burning rather low and he, put in a bucket of coal as it was then below the magazine. About! 2:30 the following morning he and 1 her sister were awakened by her screams as she was overcome by the escaping gas; they were all affected by it, hut her condition was the more critical because she had a goitre which had been giving her much 1 trouble. Dr. Ives was; called there to give them relief, hut Mrs. Anderson failed to rally from the Shock and, the complications that followed resulted fatally. The death of Charles E. Culp, for- 1 merV.v of this place, occurred at his, home in Lacross Thursday night at 10 o’clock. The information received here that he was dead came as a great surprise because very few people knew that he had been sick. The cause of his death was heart failure following a two weeks’ Sickness from pneumonia. Charles ward Culp, son of James and Elizabeth Culp, was born in Jasper
