On the Same day the body of Henry Course, and old resident of Union township was found in the road near the Whitcomb farm. Mr. Course was seen to fall from his horse, but we believe the jury did not determine as the nature of the disease that cause his death.
In the case of Derrickson, a verdict of accidental killing was returned, but we understand his friends entertain suspicions that he came to his death by foul means, and will investigate the matter.
