Though the notice was short, a goodly number showed their respect to his memory by attending the funeral. He died at the house of Mr. BRANSCOM, and as a son of Mr. Bransam was very ill and thought to be suffering the lingering agonies of expiring nature, the crowd were requested to assemble at the church, whither the body was taken by a few friends, and the funeral services were conducted by Rev. F.S. McCABE of Topeka. Mr. Branscom's son, at this writing shows no symptoms of recovery, but is thought to be gradually sinking. Has been unconcious for some time.
