MADE LONG TRIP
IN PRAIRIE SCHOONER.
Danbury, Conn., Aug. 21.—John W.
Black and his family have reached
Danbury from Arkansas, after a three
months’ trip. They came in a “prai
rie schooner” from Booneville, Ark.,
1,600 miles.
Black, who is said to be independ
ently wealthy, conceived the idea of
visiting his relatives in Connecticut
and driving the entire distance, living
a gypsy life en route. The family left
in May and headed for St. Louis,
traveling from there to Terra Haute
and then to Indianapolis, from which
point they journeyed to Wheeling
and then struck a straight line across
the country to Newburg on the Hud
son. The travelers covered about
fifteen miles a day on the average and
camped at nights, using the huge
wagon for sleeping quarters and
cooking over camp fires wnerever
they stopped. Beds, cooking utensils
and a supply of provisions were car
ried by the wagon. The whole family
were in excellent health and spirits
when they reached Danbury, which
was practically the end of their jour
ney.

SUDDEN DEATH OF
BIRD SHELTON.
Bird Shelton, the son of Mrs. Arthur
Richardson, died suddenly at eleven
o’clock Thursday night at the home of
his parent on Hazel Street in this city.
While the deceased had been sick for
a week with a fever, his condition
was not regarded as critical in the
least, and the heart was probably
affected.
Bird Shelton, who was known by
the name of “Broncho,” was born
at Elgin in this county, thirty-four
years ago, and his life has been spent
at Jacksonport and this city. He
was a member of the Newport fire
company and could hardly have ful
filled the duties of this office more
faithfully than is his record.
The burial was to have taken place
at Walnut Grove Cemetery at 5
o’clock Friday afternoon.
