Dr. Jasper Clough dropped dead Tuesday at New Richmond, organic heart disease from which he had suffered for more than a year being the cause of his sudden demise.  He was able to be about his work and had gone to the Armentrout Dairy just out of Crawfordsville on a veterinary professional visit in answer to a call when the last summons came. While at work there he suddenly fell to the ground and when he was picked up life was extinct. Dr. Clough was 72 years old, having been born in Ohio Oct 20, 1838. Two brothers and one sister, George W. Clough, Crawfordsville, Boswell Clough and Mrs. Drucilla Foster of New Richmond survive him.  The funeral was held yesterday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock from the Christian Church, Elder A. L. Carney officiating. The interment was made in the New Richmond cemetery. - kbz

Crawfordsville, May 5 - Dr. Jasper Clough of New Richmond, a small town 12 miles northwest of this place has been arrested at his home by WH Needham, deputy United States marshal. The doctor is charged with violating the US Postal laws by using canceled two-cent postage stamps. Dr. Clough is a large and powerful man, a man of means and standing and when the US marshal attempted to arrest him he resisted but was soon brought to time by a Colt's six-shooter. He was taken to Indianapolis and landed in jail.

Jasper Clough, the veterinary surgeon arrested last week on the charge of using cancelled stamps at New Richmond is now on trial in the US Court at Indianapolis and his attorneys are attempting to show that a postmaster's enmity toward the defendant led him to try and injure the reputation of Mr. Clough by trumping up this charge against him. The case may develop some interesting facts.
