ZACHARIAH PADGETT
Killed - Mr. Zack Padgett, who lived between Highland and Kingsville, was killed while returning from the latter place Friday afternoon. He had passed a German whose horses scared and the young horse Mr. Padgett was riding threw him, the wagon passing over his shoulders, crushing several bones and hurting him internally, from the effects of which he died in a short time. Mr. Padgett was about 70 years old and a clever old gentleman. He was a hard working man and left a snug sum for his wife, who with several children survive.

NICOLA CAUSED IT
Coroner Wm. Landgraf sends us the following: This is a copy of the verdict of the coroner's jury rendered Wednesday, 15th, at Highland: "We, of the jury, find that Zach Padgett came to his death through negligence, drunkenness and beating his horses on the public highway by Fred Nicola." H. Baugh, J. D. Lang, Matth. Leach, David Burton, John Aebersold and J. C. Harris. Nicola was held over in $200 bond to the grand jury at the June term.

ACQUITTED
Fred Nicola who was charged by the coroner's jury with having caused the death of Zach Padgett by striking his horse and causing him to run off, was before Judge Bailey yesterday, but there was not sufficient evidence to support the charge and was discharged. The witness upon County Attorney Helm relied, went square back on him.

LOTS OF LUCRE -
When old man Zach Padgett was killed his people were very much surprised as well as hurt not to be able to find the money he claimed to have had. There was suspicion of foul play and search was instigated for the missing lucre. It was finally rewarded a few days ago by the finding of $2,670 in lots of $100 or so in various and sundry places, some in old cans, under rocks etc. It is thought that it was hid by one who hoped to get it unsuspected after the excitement over its loss had subsided.
