News has been received of the death of Joseph C Yaggi, of Leopold, Perry county, Ind, who was the only blind barkeeper in Indiana.
Yaggi was forty-five years old and for twenty-one years he had been blind. He conducted a saloon at Leopold, a small town in Perry county, but never employed a barkeeper. So acute was his sense of touch that by drawing a piece of paper money through his hands he could tell the denomination of the bill, and it is said that he rarely made a mistake in making change at his bar. He was also adept at mixing drinks, drawing beer and tapping beer kegs.
