A Sudden Death.

The people Ia both towns were consider.
ably shocked, Sunday morning, to learn
Of the death of Arthur Tschanp, who had
been noticed about town, up until the
evening OF his death, presumably In his
usual good health. He went home rather
early, Saturday evening, and requested his
brother, Emil, to remain with him for a
while, say ing that he felt that he would be
quite sick. This was at Z O'Clock, and at 0
O'Clock he was cold in death, having died
In commissions, with which he had been
afflicted, at long intervals, for some years.
The funeral will take place from his
brothers residence, at . O'Clock Tomorrow
afternoon, under the auspices of the e.
Romero hose company, OF which he was a
member.
Arthur w. Tschann was twenty-six
years of age. and came to this country,
with his parents, In 1885, from Baden,
Germany. A few years ago, his parents
returned to their native country, and
since that time he had made his home
with his brother, Emil. He was a young
man, quiet and reserved In his demeanor,
and was held in esteem by his nearest
friends. His brother takes the sudden de-
mice greatly to heart, and has the sincere
sympathy of the entire community In his
great grief and bereavement.
