INDIANAPOLIS, IND, March 6.-During
the illness of Rev. Father Shaub, of St
Mary's Church, who was stricken by small
pox while administering the last rites of the
church to victim of the dread disease, he
was attended by his farmer, who faithfully
nursed his son all through his sickness. In
the last days of his illness the priest was de-
lirious, and the day before he died assaulted
his father most grievously before the other
attendants could restrain him. After his
death the elder Shaub returned to his home
in New Albany, whence word now comes
that he is dying from the effects Of the in
turies inflicted by his dying son.
