B. I. Arnold Cameron, Milam Co., Tex., 22 Apr. – News has reached Cameron of the death of Capt. B. I. Arnold at Salado yesterday afternoon, where he had gone a few days ago in hopes of recuperating. He had been in bad health for more than a year. Capt. Arnold came to Cameron during the Davis administration and was sheriff by appointment, of Milam county. By a proper regard, the maintenance of law and order and justice to his fellow man, notwithstanding his political persuasions, he was deservedly popular in Cameron, and for two terms was elected mayor, and accumulated a good fortune of this world’s goods. He was born in Illinois and served as an officer in the federal army, but with him there was no north and south and at his burial three confederate officers and soldiers will act as bail bearers. The remains will be shipped to Cameron tomorrow afternoon and funeral services will be conducted by Elder W.K. Homan of Dallas. The deceased leaves a wife and three daughters, Misses Myrtle, Mamie and Bennie all of whom were at his bedside at the time of his death except the latter, who is in school in Bloomington, Ill.
