JOSEPH JACKSON DEAD

Joseph Jackson, who for the past two years has run the Broadway Meat 
Market in Broken Bow, died Saturday night at his room at the 
Arlington Hotel of pneumonia and euramic poisoning.  He had been ill 
about ten days.

Mr. Jackson was of English descent and so far as is known had no 
relatives in this country.  He was an exceptionally big hearted old 
man, and most of his earnings were given to the poor.  It is said by 
those who knew him well that he never allowed any case of destitution 
that came to his attention go without being cared for.  For this 
reason he had very little money left when he died.  A.W. Leuty of 
Broken Bow has been appointed administrator for his leavings and will 
wind up what little he left.  At the time of his death he was around 
70 years of age.  He was buried Monday in the City cemetery.
