ening Thursday morning we were pained
and infinitely surprised with the an.
nouncement "Ndte Young is DEADr
Just prior to bed time the evening previ-
Gus we pissed Nate on the street, appar.
emily in the best of health, greeted him
as usual and passed along. A little after
half past eleven o'clock Wednesday night
he was seized with fit of coughing and
sneezing, while sitting on the bench in
front of his brothers place of business. -
Night watchman Bowler was with him
gave him drink of water and he felt
better, saying that lie must have taken a
sudden cold. Samuel Hensley hearing
the heavy breathing went to where Nate
and Bowler were and spoke of going for
doctor. Nate thought it was not neces
sary as he would be all right in a few
minutes. Not feeling altogether right,
he concluded to walk with Sam to DR..
Montaguc's office. Afte: going short
distance he gave out, and it was with
some difficulty that Hensley got him to
the oice-Natc being man of about
225 lbs. weight while Hcnsley issender.

ed on the lounge in the office and his
brother Frank sent for, but before he
could arrive poor Nate was dead Taken
after half past eleven, he expired at five
minutes before twelve O'Clock. As to
the cause of death the general opinion
seems to be that it was from the rupture
of blood vessel, death resulting from
sutiocation or strangulalion caused by
internal hemorrhage.
