grandchildren. The .children stated
immediately after the occurrence that
Mr.. Foster was to all appearance per-
fectly well and was joking with them,
when he suddenly cried out and fell to
the ground unconscious. He was
taken to a house near by.
where he recovered sufficiently to state
that the cause of his sudden illness was
heart disease, to which he is subject. A
hack was summoned, and the sick man
removed i. to his temporary residence
with Mr.. Crow. A physician was
called, who stated there was no imme-
diate cause for alarm, all danger for the
present having been passed before he
was called. Mr.. Foster received severe
bruises in his fall, as well as a severe
confusion on the left temple.

much of it will soon melt. 1t is thought,
however, that sufficient will be saved to
considerably reduce the amount of loss
estimated from the appearance OF things

ground during the day, no settlement

for the company, stated that the losses
would be satisfactorily adjusted. and
that basis of settlement would be
reached to-day.
