Talbott, a silver watch, a $5 bill and a dime and one cent, and a bunch of keys.

Our fellow townsman and an honored citizen, Cyrus C. Nave, has succumbed to the inevitable. His death occurred at the family home on Bingham, street Tuesday afternoon at about 3:30 o'clock, after a lingering illness of more than a year. Although his death, was not unexpected, the announcement of his demise cast a shadow of sorrow over the entire city. The deceased's sickness dates back probably five years, when he suffered a severe attack of tbe la grippe, from which he never fully recovered.

About a year ago last March, Mr. Nave was taken down with pneumonia, and since then he has gradually grown worse until his suffering was ended by death. For the past six months he has bees confined to his home and bed. Cyrus C. Nave was born in Sfarke county, March 12, 1838, and at the time of his death was fifty eight years, five months and twenty da? old.

He came to Huntington county in 1851, first settling at Markle. He resided here only a short time when he removed to a farm in the southeastern part of this township, where he remained several years, coming to this city in 1875, since which time until his death he has been a resident here. He was married Jnly 22, 1866, to Miss Charlotte Cooper, who, together with four children survive him. The children are Samuel Cora Edward F. and Laura Nave.

Besides the above one brother and two sisters survive him. They are Wesley Nave, of Kan sas; Mrs. C. C. Sutton, of Romney, and Mrs.

A. J. Rosebrough, of this city. Mr. Nave was conducting a hardware business in the Drover block on the South Side at the time of his death.

For fifteen years he conducted a ray ing business here, but sold out in 1890 when he was elected by the democrats to the office of county recorder, which position he held one term of four years. Mr. Nave was a good, honest man. He was a kind and loving husband and father, and had the good will of every person who knew him. The funeral will be held Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Methodist church, he having been a member of this church.

The funeral will be conducted under the auspices of the Red'Men lodge, of which he was also a member. The remains will lie in state at his late residence from 9 until 12 o'clock, Thursday. The honorary pall bearers chosen are Isaac F. Beard, John Stalnaker, E. C.

Branyan, A. A. Weber, J. Fred France and John F. Fulton.

The active pall bearers will be chosen from the order of Red Men at a meeting to be held this evening. A TERRIBLE DEATH. Sirs. Elizabeth Collins, a Former Resident, Fatally Burned. Mrs.

Elizabeth Collins, over sixty years of age, was fatally burned at her home Butler last Thursday evening.

The fire communicated to Mrs. Collins's dress and she soon was wrapped in flames. She ran from the house to the yard, where one of her daughters wrapped a comfort about her and the fire was extinguished.

Mrs. Collins fainted and remained unconscious. Her death occurred at 3 'o'clock Saturday morning. The flesh of her shoulders and arms was cooked and other parts of her body were badly burned. Seven years ago Mrs.

Collins, with her husband and children, moved from this city to Huntington, where they resided for a few years, then ther moved to Butler, where Mr. Collins died.
