RANDALL. W. H. CHURCHILL, Esq. was sent for, and had the body removed into the house of Mr. RANDALL. A jury was then summoned and an inquest held. It found that his name was MICHAEL NOLAN, of Greenbush, Sheboygan Co., Wis., where his mother lives. He was about 35 years old. He had walked from Dalton, Muskegon Co., that day, in company with two young men, who stopped at Mr. JOHN ADAMS' to get something to eat, and this man passed on a short distance farther and fell dead. The jury rendered a verdict that MICHAEL NOLAN came to his death in the town- ship of Shelby, on the 10th day of May, 1874 by reason of spasmodic constriction of the heart. The funeral took place on Monday at 10 a.m. ==========================================================================
