Died.
Jolin Finuber was found at an early
a j 11
boor Sunday morning on the sidewalk
on Winterstcen Hill, only a few blocks
fr&m his home, having breathed his last
only a few hours before. Mr. Finisher
was an old citizen of Plattsuiouth and
was married to the widow Fiony, who
at one time kept house for the noted
French trader, Peter A. Sarpy. Mrs. F,
got a divorce from Mr. Finihher some
years ago, but his two daughters kept
house for him for a time. The coroner
impaneled.a jury, and held an inquet
yesterday over the body of the deceased.
It was li arned that he started home about
ten o'clock Saturday night very drunk,
and that he laid down on the sidewalk,
where he remained all night,, dying from
Xpofure or poison whiskey. The jury
failed it exposure.

The old friends of George Walradt
Will be pained to learn of his death at
bis home near Cedtr Creak yesterday
morning. Mr. Walradt was one of the
'pioneers of Cubs county, settling on the
farm where he died, in the early fifties.
He was a most estimable citizen, respect-
ed bv bis neighbors: a man of iron con-
stitution and indomitable energy, he
shrank from no exposure and for years
durin? the hard times known to earlvset'
r
tiers, he thought nothing of putting in
fifteen and eighteen hours out of the
twenty-four at hard labor, clearing and
cultivating his claim and building a com
fortable borne for his growing family.
It was from the effect of these early pri-
rations and hardships that he contracted I
the disease, which as he grew older sap
ped his strength and cat down the strong
man who otherwise might have yet lived
for years. Mr. Walradt was a loyal law
abiding citizen and christian gentleman,
and it is by the courage and energy of
such men that the settlement of this west
ern country was made possible. Mr. Wal-
radt will long be missed by the people of
bis neighborhood, and bv the family he
leaves to mourn his los3. The funeral
w'Jl take place at the Walradt cemetery

He Dodges the Issue
Yesterday was the time when Mr. Boyd

Governor Thayer filed with the supreme
coun. jlu opportunity was mus given
x A a.i
1 Mr. Boyd to show the legal claim he had
I f'r citizenship. And bow has be met
I the issue? Not like a man bold with
I the right, with the law and the facts
I on his side, but as a craven coward he
I pettifogs, dodges the issue and attempts
I Tery clearly to insolently triflle with the
I public. Mr. Boyd's course since the
I filing of his so called answer, which we
I print below, is inexcusable and indefen
sible before any loyal citizen. Here is
Mr. Boyd's answer to the serious charge
of being an alien, which Governor
Thayer puts against him:
"State of Nebraska ex rel John M.
Thayer vs. James E. Boyd Motion
And now comes the said James E. Boyd,

First That said relator, John M.
Thayer, has no right, title or authority in
law to institute or maintain this action.
Second That the petition and relation
herein does not state facts sufficient to
constitute a cau e of action,
Third That said petition and relation
shows on its face that James E. Boyd,

i3 supposed to be an attempt to poison
yesterday. He received through the
United States mail a pint of whiskev
which he belie red to have been sent him
by a friend. He drank a part of it and
soon took sick. Medical aid was sum
moned and he is now out of danger.
The eymptDms were those of strychnine
poison. Two young men who shared in
the liquid were also made sick, but by
prompt use of emetics soon recovered.

SHERMAN S DEAD
The Old Warrior Finally Yields
to Disease.
THE END QUIET AND PEACEFUL.
The Dying Man Surrounded by Family
and Friends When Ilia Spirit Took It
Flight Word of Sympathy and Con
dolence roaring; In.
New York, Feb. 1C. Gen. Shermar
died Saturday afternoon at 1 :50 o'clock
Burrounded by bis family. All night
long Gen. Sherman wavered between
life and death, and continued to fight
bravely the noteless battle. Larly in
the evening the physicians knew the
end Was approaching slowly but surely
The swelling of the face and neck disap
peared, but with the subsidence of tht
symptoms of erysipelas came a develop
ment of the lung trouble, complicated
with the return of long standing asth
ma. Mncus began once more to accu
mulate in the lungs, and the first signs
of passive pneumonia became apparent.
About G o'clock a. m. a decided ehangt
for the worse set in. and Dr. Green wa
aummond. AnotW5r hour and all the
members of Gen. Sherman's family
were summoned to the sick room. Death
seemed nearer, but the sufferer refused
to succumb.
After a consultation of the physicians
it was given on t that Gen. Sherman's
condition was hopeless, that the end was
rapidly approaching and that the bron
chial difficulty was making marked
progress. At the time this bulletin was
issued there waa by the dying man's
bedside and in the adjoining room, the
general's unmarried daughters Rachael
aud Lizzie, Mrs. Fitch, Mrs. Colgate
Hoyt, Mrs. Thackara, Lieut. Thackara.
Senator John Sherman, P. T. Sherman
and Drs. Janeway and Alexander, be
sides the latter's assistant, Dr. Green.
During the forenoon as the hours
passed by every inquirer who called at
the general s house was told that all
hope had been abandoned, and his rela
tives and attendants were merely wait
ing for the end, and endeavoring to
make his last hours as free from suffer
ing as possible. Among those who
called were Cvrus W. Field and Mrs. U.
S. Grant.
The general passed away without
speaking. His four daughters were
present and his son, P. T. Sherman, and
Senator Sherman and the attending
physicians. Secretary Barrett and some
other friends were in the room below.
Soon after 2 o'clock Barrett went to the
Western Union telegraph office and sent
off a number of dispatches to Washing
ton, in which he announced the time of
death as 1 :o0 p. m.
All day Sunday streams of humanity
passed and repassed the house where the
remains of Gen. Sherman lav. From
the windows of many of the general's
late neighbors floated the American flag
at half-mast and in deep mourning
Early in the morning the undertaker ar
rived and completed the embalming of
the body. Many floral tributes were
sent to the house. From Colgate Hoyt
came a spray of palms with a draped
nag in the center. 1 his was for the cas
ket of the dead hero. The military guard
from Governor's island was on duty all
day and will remain until the body is
removed. Four men were always on
duty and relays came on every three
hours. One man was stationed at the
death chamber while the others stood
guard in the hall below. Towards noon
callers began to arrive at the house. It
would be difficult to number the friends
who have called during the past few days
and lert cards.
Gens. Howard and Slocum met at the
late general's home at noon with many
other military men to perfect arrange
ments for the funeral. The arrange
ments made were given out in the even
ing by Gen. Butlerfield. Congressman
Quinn called during the day and had a
consultation with Senator Sherman in
reference to the attendance of senators
aud representatives. Mr. Quinn. speak
ing to a reporter later on, said he
thought that fully fifty memliers of the
house and about one-third of the senate
would come from Washington to this
city to attend the services.
Senator Sherman left the house about
2 o'clock to return to Washington. The
detail of regulars have had some trouble
in finding quarters. They asked for
permission to use the Twenty-second
regiment armory as their headquarters,
but were refused the privilege. Maj.
Henry, of the Eighth regiment, then
ojened the doors of the armory of his
regiment.
Telegrams of sympathy and condolence
have been pouring in from all parts of
the country. Some three thousand were
received, including messages from the
president, from public officials, soldiers
who had fought under the general and
other friends.
The preliminary arrangements for the
funeral of Gen. Sherman were made. It
was determined the funeral cortege
should form at 1 o'clock on Thursday
next at the house in West Seventy-first
street, and move promptly at 2 o'clock,
in order to get to the tram in season. The
funeral service proper will take place in
St. Louis.
Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman
completed his seventieth year on the 8th
of February. He was born Feb. 8, 1820,
and his brother John, May 10, 1823

for by his friends for him wa3 that of a
successful engineer. The death of the
father left the family in straitened cir
cumstances, and the boys were soon
scattered. Tecumseh being reared by
the Hon. Thomas Ewing. who. in 1836.
secured his appointment to West Point.

lesH THToeptrbTe Cum home,
and after thirteen ye.vs' variel
service in tho regular nnny he had got
no higher than captain in the commis
sary department, and so resigned Sept.
t. i't'i. Utit this was the jriol in
which foritnio was doing lore for him
than tho wisest could have anticipated;
for his service in various function of the
south, in California and elsewhere, had
made him acquainted with the right
men and gained him a 1-mowledga of the
country which "waa in due time of im
mense value.
It now heems very strange that Geu
SherniHii should havo leeii a state of.
ficer of Louisiana, at the head of her
military school, when the state seceded,
and that many of his closest personal
friends should have been Confederates;
yet so it wiis, ami his case was but one
of many thousands who had to wrench
asunder the most pleasant ties and gc
with their Mates." Stranger still, it
was the 14th of May, 1801, that the gov

He started in the war as colonel of the
Thirteenth regular infantry.
Sherman was the last of those who at
