Wilson Wells, an old gentleman of Cowles, and the father-in-law of ex-sheriff C.A. Teel, died in his chair on Tuesday evening. He had been feeling hearty and was quite cheerful up to supper. After the supper hour he went into the adjoining room and sat down, and almost immediately expired. He was between 65 and 70 years of age.
