Sudden Death.

On the 14th of May a party call
ed at the store of John McAlllster,
in Avoca, Iowa county, Wisconsin,
and informed Mr.. McAllister that
his fathers folks were not at home
as they had raped at the door and
met with no response. Mr.. McAllis-
ter fastened to his fathers house IN
the village and broke open the door.
Lying in bed side by side, were his
father and his mother, both dead.
They had retired on Monday even
ing in usual health but in closing
the lid of the coal stove a small
aperture had been left which per
mitted the gas to escape which had
been generated by heat too slight
to consume. This had caused
death. They were each seventy six
years old; they had been married
and lived together ffty-six years;
they had eight children living: John,
at Avoca; Nelson, in Muscoda; CAIN,
Alonzo, and Milton. Madison, Dako-
ia; Earl, in Chicago; Desbery, at
Clear Lake, Iowa, and Mrs. Farris,
in Dakota.
The old gentleman was born in
Pennsylvania, and came to Iowa
county, from the state of Ohio, in
1851. He had resided here ever
since and was one of our most high
ly respected citizens.
They had lived to a good old age
and passed away in painless sleep
one in death as they had been one
in life.
The fathers name was Nelson, the
mothers, Mary.

Wednesday night, about 1 80 the
alarm of fire was again given in
Cobb, it being discovered that the
hotel barn of M. F. Doyle was on
fire. The first seen of it was the
flames coming from the roof of the
building; the fire originating in the
loft. There were two horses in the
building; and when the barn door
was opened flames issued from the
doorway, and fire from the loft was
falling around the horses, and it was
only by almost superhuman efforts
that they were gotten out. The town
hall, which is but two or three rods
from the barn, caught on fire several
times, and no doubt would have
gone were it not for DR.. Pearce, who
threw water over the building with
his hose. The flames were SO near
him as to blister one of his hands
badly, but did not drive him from
his post until the flames were sub
dued. Most of the force, however,
were employed in preventing the
hotel from taking fire. 1t seems al
most miraculous that it did not; but
had it, all that would have been left
of the business part of Cobb is a
blackened and charred spot. Loss
about $500; no insurance. Much
praise is due the ladies for the SER
vice rendered in extinguishing the
fire. They proved themselves equal
to the Emergency.
