DEATH OF JOHN CAvAGAUGH.

The death of John Cavanaugh occurred at his home at Sandy Hook, last Friday morning, under very distressing circum- stances. MT Cavanaugh was at the barn caring for his horses and as he was ab- sent longer than usual his daughter went out to look for him and found him under one of the horses in an unconscious con- dition. He was taken to the house but died within a half hours time. Whether he was kicked by one of the horses or had fit, to which he was sometimes sub ject, and fell under it's feet will never be known, but the horse had stepped on him leaving marks on his face and body. He was in the coal business, was a man well spoken of, and his untimely and unfortu- nate end Is sincerely lamented by his friends. One daughter, Maggie, survives him. The funeral service was conducted from the house on Sunday. The pail bearers were John McGran, Thomas Far rell, William Egau, James Mcclure, Frank Kirby and Van Hayes. Mir Cav anaugh was 43 years old. The interment was in St Roses cemetery.
