DEATH OF B. S. SWEET

B. S. SWEET formerly Burlington agent to Tampico died at his home in Spokane, Wash., Monday night according to a message received by Mrs. Irene EMMONS Tuesday. No particulars are known about his death which was rather sudden as far as relatives here know. He had suffered a severe attack of ptomaine poisoning  several weeks ago and whether death reasulted from this or his old trouble which caused hiim to give up his work here and go west is not known. Mr. SWEET while here made many friends and had a fine family. March 11, The Tornado received a card from him in reference to paying his subscription and he stated at that time that all were fairly well.
