luary 18, 1906Dies of Lock-JawB. J. Peasley and wife of this city received word the last of fast week of the illness of the latter’s brother, Levi Paekett, at Calumet, in the form of a message calling Mr. Peasley to his bedside.

The wound healed up quickly, apparently, and Mr. Puckett paid no attention to it, until last week, when he was taken with pains and cramps in his neck, and the partial closing of his jaws.
