The death of John Cleary, of Hillsboro, which was incidentally mentioned in last week’s Enterprise, was shockingly sad. The local papers state that he died of cholera morbus, but the Enterprise has been informed that his death was brought about by a dose of prussic acid, taken with suicidal intent. Mr. Cleary was a popular man with all classes of people. He was a Mason in good standing, and was buried with all the honors of the order. His funeral is said to have been the most largely attended of any in that section in many years.
