DEATH.-The sad and sudden death Of Joseph
Little on Sunday evening at Dorn's turned the
house of the parents, Mr. and Mrs Rufus Little,
into house Of mourning. The young man was
81 years Of age was industrious and we'll behaved
was working at the timing trade with Yost &
Koons He left home in his usual health, appa'
rently; and three hours or so after was brought
home corpse. Leaving home after dinner be-
tween and 4, he first visited his uncle John
Little and from there started to visited his cousin
Ed who lives east Of the Safe shop. Meeting
with friend they went to Dorn's, boarding
house and saloon. Others gathered there and
eating and drinking we're INDUCED in to some
extent. The Coroner and physicians who made
the autopsy speak Of gases being generated. It
would seem the stomach was somewhat gOrged
and that condition with the alcoholic stImuants
caused morbid afflux to the brain and produced
apoplexy and death. II may be that additional
particulars will be obtained that will throw light
upon the affair. This tyrrible reality should
serve as warning to old and young.
