DIED - That tramp whom we mentioned last week as having been found in a very sick condition near Manger's mill, died at the Farmer's Home in this city, last Thursday night. His name was Harry Mills, and his home was Grand Rapids, Wis.

The chances are, that if those miserable wretches had gone and got the medicine he gave them the money to pay for and which they kept, he would not have died. It is hoped that they will yet be punished for the theft.

The poor man laid up there under the trees from Saturday afternoon until Sunday evening before he was found and brought down to town. He was buried on Friday in the "Potter's field" and his friends at Grand Rapids notified of his death and burial.
