G.S. Goodnight, an old citizen of Dexter township, died a few days since. He went to Wichita and in his meanderings got a fall that bruised and fractured his wrist. He thought little of it till he got home, when the swelling and pain became burdensome. Remedies were applied without effect, and last Friday he had the arm amputated below the elbow. But his blood had been badly poisoned and he lived scarcely twenty-four hours after the amputation. He was a highly respected citizen, and his peculiar death causes deep regret. He leaves a wife and eight children. He was about forty-eight hears old.
