DROPPED DEAD ON THE BEACH
Sudden Dennis. of a Woman at Baliola While
ConverslnC


A sudden death. presumably from
heart disease. took place at Baliona
beach yesterday afternoon when Lura
Cottle, 35 years old, dropped dead on the
sands, having but moment before
been apparently in the best of health
and spirits. Miss Cottle resided with
her married sister and two brothers on
a ranch about three miles south of Coles
grove and was well known, having lived
in the vicinity for years.
Yesterday morning the whole family
drove down to Ballona for days out
ing. Along in the afternoon the whole
crowd went out boat riding on the still
waters of the old harbor but returned
safely to shore. All had gotten out of
the skiff and Miss Lura stood for few
moments talking to the boatnan. Sud
denly she threw up her hands with an
exclamation and fell back unconscious
on the beach
A cot was Nurriedly brought from the
hotel and she was laid on IT and caTeyd
toward the building. While this was
being done she gave a gasp and breathed
her last, without having been able to
speak word. The body was laid out
in the hotel and physician summoned
from Redondo, but it was of no avail.
II is not thought that a coroner's in
| quest will be necessary, as Miss Cottle
| has been in poor health for some time
| and was under physsian's care. Word
| of her death was brought to this city
| by Thomas Clark, the auctioneer, who

| at the seashore.
