Last Saturday afternoon a messen-
ger came to town for DIR. Daily, bea r
ing the startling news that Mr.. J. B.
Carruthers. Of Gypsum Creek, had re-
ceived a very severe, and perhaps IA
tai sunstroke. He had been engaged
that afternoon i'm raking millet. There
was no air stirring and the men at
work in the field felt the heat severe
ly. Mr.. Carruthers was first observed
sitting down by cock of millet and
had asked his son for water From
that time on he was speechless and
insensible. A sort of arbOr Of straw
for protection from the suns rays was
hastily improvised, under which Mr..
Carruthers was placed until shutdown,
when he was removed to his home
everything being done meanwhile for
his restoration that could be done by
the use Of appliances Mt hand. The
physician was called too late.
Mr. Carruthers died that night. His
funeral occurred Monday morning,
and was well attended by his neigh
bors. II was conducted by Rev. w.
A. Simkins. The deceased was buried
in Gypsum Hill Cemetery. Mr.. Car
ruthers was an Englishman and few
years ago did an extensive business in
London. Meeting with reverses he
removed to this country, and engaged
with his brother-in-law, Mr.. Brown.
in the stock business on Gypsum
Creek-locating there last winter
Although but a new conner he had
many friends in this community and
was highly regarded by all who knew
him. His loss is deeply felt by his
neighbors. He leaves q widow and
two children.

Last Thursday afternoon, immedi-
ately after We had gone to preo, q
messenger came from the cost side Of
the river with the news that Master
Albert Peterson. nephew Of Mr.. ]. n.
Ericsson and Mn. Robert Graf, had
been drowned while bathing in the
Smoky Hill near Mr.. Fred. Baier's
residence. A large crowd Of citizens
soon assembled At the place Of the
drowning, and an immediate search
for the body instituted. A number
engaged in the search but It was Mr.
James Phillips who, while diving, dis
covered the body. Although some
three-quarters of an hour had elapsed
since the boy was last seen, the ply.
sicians present thought It best to make
an effort to resuscitate him. but did not
succeed. The little boy was drowned
while in the company Of several other
boys Of about the same age, who were
unable to save him. His age was 10
years and 5 months. His relatives
speak Of him "a having been . kind,
good boy, with . very sensitive spirit.
His funeral occurred last Friday after
noon.

Oesth from ApOplexv.

On Tuesday evening, at about 8
o clock. the startling news was circu-
lated that Mr.. q. J. Lay, the we'll
known restaurateur, had just died Of
apoplexy. At 4 O'Clock that afternoon
he was seen upon the street He COM
planned to his wife that he was not
feeling very well, and went up stairs
TO lie down. About supper time one Of
the hired girls had occasion to 20 up
stairs. and at that moment Mr.. Lay
was changing from one bed to another.
An hour later one of the children came
down stairs and saying to her mother,
Papa can't speak" Mrs. Lay has
tened to the bedside, to find Mr.. Lay
SPECIFICS and apparently dying. DR..
Crowley was hastily summoned and
did all in his power to restore Mr.. Lay
to consciousness, but was unsuccessful.
In few minutes the last spark Of life
was gone. The Doctor at once pro-
nounced the disease spoplexy. with all
the symptoms that 1t was induced by
the intense heat Of Tuesday afternoon.
Owing to the hot weather an early
burial of the deceased was rendered
necessary, and his funeral occurred
yesterday afternoon at the Episcopal
church, at 4 O'Clock. The remains were
buried under the auspices Of the Odd
Fellows and Knightsof Pythias orders,
to which organizations he belonged.
Mr. Lay, at the time of his death,
was 81 years, II months and n days
old. lie has been q resident of this
city some twelve or thirteen years.
He has always been known rs u kind
hearted, honorable man, and has been
very successful restaurant keeper.
His death is deeply regretted. Much
sympathy Is felt for his sorrOwing
