DIED. At Bradford, Iowa, on Monday April 19th, Jason Bushnell, Editor of the Cedar Valley News.

The deceased had recently purchased the interest of Mr. Felt in the News, and every arrangement was made by him to secure the continued popularity and prosperity of the paper. But one No., of the News was issued since the retirement of Mr. Felt. The sickness of Mr. Bushnell has been of 3 or 4 weeks duration.

The deceased was known to us to be an excellent man, of much more capacity than pretension, and a workman unexcelled in the west.
