From Mr. M. Pickel we learn of the death of Samuel Newton, formerly of this county. Mr. Newton has been for some time making his home in Kansas. His death was accidental, being caused by a revolver in his own hands which he was shooting for amusement. He was a young man, being but seventeen years of age, and he had contemplated making this county his future home.
