»JLIU II mu nuu uvimuw ml 'V'viu*•I.I ^ —--. ...... ....------News was brought to this city Tuesday morning that Will Begin old, living about eight miles north of Fairbank had been found dead in his barn. The deceased lived alone and worked a farm which lie purchased a few years ago. On the morning in .question Eli Thomas went to his home to take his milk to the creamery, but not finding either the milk or the proprietor in their accustomed places, instituted a search. On entering the barn he was startled to discover, partially covered by manure, the dead body of poor Will Ktsgiuold. The supposition is that he was kicked in the abdomen while taking care of the horses in the barn. A. bridle was found in his hand, and a small hole in his head is supposed to have been caused by falling against a projecting nail. The above are substantially the facts as gleaned from common report. The coroner will be present and hold an inquest this morning. Will Begin old was a man about forty years of age, strictly honest, and thoroughly industrious and esteemed by all who know him. His untimely end will be regretted by all who respect personal worth and •tireless energy. The funeral will be held at the M. E. church at this place at two o’clock this afternoon conducted by Bev. S. Goodsell. The interment will be in Fairbana cemetery.— Fuirbctnk View-
