SULLIVAN--The funeral of Dennis Sullivan, jr., who met his death in a runaway, was held at the Catholic church last Saturday. The facts regarding his death are as follows: He had been in this city in the morning and was taken to his home about six miles northwest from here, in a livery rig, and after remaining at home for some time he started for Platte Center, and about 8:30 in the evening he was found in front of the wagon on the double-trees, cold in death. The coroner was called, but he deemed an inquest unnecessary. Not a mark of any kind was found on the corpse, except some bruises on the head that would indicate that the horses had kicked him. It had been reported that he had been drinking heavily of late. Mr. Sullivan was about thirty years of age, and leaves to mourn his untimely death, besides his widow, who was formerly Miss Alice Quinn and three small children.
