 He Passes Away suddenly at His Home in IndianapoIis-His Wife Leaves the Room a Few Moments Corpse-A Sketch of the Dead Ofsic. faIs Catesrs
 INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 5.-Vice-Presideht Hendricks died very suddenly at his resi- dence few minutes before 5 o'clock this afternoon. He came home from Chicago early in the week and complained of feeling unwell, but nothing serious was thought of it at the time. Last night he and Mrs. Hendricks attended a reception at the resi- dence of Hon. John J Cooper and after he came home he complained of pains in his side and stomach. This morning lie was no better
 and his family physician, Dr. Thompson was called in. He gave him an emetic and later in the day an injection. MT. Hendricks stayed in his room all day and the most of the time in bed, although he sat up at ire quent intervals. He received 10 callers, but about o'clock Mrs. Hendricks left his bed side to see caller for a few minutes in the
 parlor. She was delayed longer than she expected and when she returned to the room
 she found that MT. Hendricks was dead.
 The end of busy and eventful life had come
 peaceably and quietly. On his face there
 was no indication of pain or suffering and
 his eyes were only half closed, as if in a gen
 tie sleep. Dr. w. C.. Thompson and rela-
 tives of the family were immediately sent for.
 The United Press reporter called about ten minutes after MT. Hendricks had died. There was scene of much confusion at the house and it was with the greatest difficulty that any information could be obtained further than that given above. There was nobody in his room when he died and only Mrs. Hen dricks, the servants and caller in the house. Mrs. Hendricks was almost distracted with grief and could not restrain her feelings suf- ficiently to talk. The house was soon filled with anxious friends, while @ crowd collected around the gate and it was found necessary to refuse admission to many. Dr. Woodburn, who came in with Dr. Thompson, says that he is inclined to believe that the Vice Presi- affection of the heart, for, had it been apoplexy, there would have been some indications of it in the appearance of his face. He complained principally of his stomach this morning, d. though there was nervous twitching of the muscles of his face. The news spread through the city like wildfire and all the fire and other bells in the city were tolled sixty-six times, one stroke for each year of MT. Hendricks life. All the newspapers put out bulletins and their offices were crowded with people anxious to learn the particulars.
