Mr.. M. McClosky, aged "a, fell dead
in his store on East Locust street,
early Thursday morning. He had
gone to his store and opened up, and
a few minutes after some one, entering
the building, found him lying at full

Closky had been suffering from or
ganic heart trouble for some time and
to those acquainted with his condition
his death was not a surprise. For
over twenty years, Mr.. McClosky had
been an active business man in our
town, and at one time was quite
wealthy, but business reverses over
took him ana his property was swept
away. He leaves an only child--a
daughter, who is, by the sad Eereave-
ment left entirely alone in the world i.
