A SAD DEATH.
The Herald is pained to have to chronicle the death of Mr. Zack A. Crittenden, who died at the home of his father, Col. R. F. Crittenden, at Shellman Friday.
Mr. Crittenden was a young man of more than ordinary business capacity, and, although yet quite young, was a member of the firm Arthur, Crittenden & Whitehead of Dawson.
He was the worthy son of a noble sire, and the writer chronicles his untimely death with that peculiar and inexpressible empathy that attaches to a sincere friendship ...
