Dropped Dead.

Norben Bohall, living just west of town, dropped dead Sunday afternoon. He had been in apparently good health until a few minutes before death when he complained of distress in the region of his heart.

On investigation Coroner Jones re­turned a verdict that death had been caused by paralysis of the heart. The verdict will be found in another col­umn.

The deceased is well remembered as the person charged with killing a man from Indianapolis, in the year 1885, in this city while mixed up in a quarrel. He was tried on the charge of murder but acquitted of this charge by the jury returning a verdict of assault and bat­tery.

Funeral services were held Tuesday.
