Death of J. T. Humphrey.
From A. E. Thune, who was in the city yesterday, we learn that J. T. Humphrey, the well known farmer living about a mile and one-half from Hesper, died Tuesday morning from heart disease and hardening of the arteries. We are unable to obtain the facts for his obituary for this issue.
