LIFE IS UNCERTAIN.
Val. s. Murray Died Sunddenly from
Heart Trouble.


Valesius s. Murray's host of friends
in Reynoldsville we're greatly surprised
and saddened on Monday forenoon OF
last week to learn that he had suddenly
expired that morning from fatty degen-
GRAFTON Of the heart. Mr.. Murray, who
had lived in this county over fifty years
and was we'll known and highly respect
ed throughout the county, had become
better known in Reynoldsville and made
many new and warm friends here since
his son, DR.. ]. H. Murray, located in
the town less than two years ago.
Mr.. Murray was born in the county
Langford, ireland, in 1887, and came to
this county when eleven years old, 1913,
with his mother, four sisters and two
brothers and settled in Gaskill town
ship where he resided until few
months before he died, when he moved
into new dwelling that he had erect
ed in Punxsutawney. His widow, FIVE
sons and three daughters survive him.
We clip the following from the Punxsu-
tawney Spirit concerning his death and
what he was thought Of in the commu-
nifty where he had been known over
half century;
Mr.. Murray had been at the wake of
Mrs. Lalie Brilliant, when, after build
ing the fires, he retired with view to
getting a little rest. He apparently
slept until a few minutes after eight
o'clock, when the family heard a noise
upstairs and ran to his room. He was
found lying on tho floor, gasping for
breath. His face was purple. His son,
w. G. Murray, raised him in his arms
and placed some liquor to his lips, a
little OF which he swallowed. But he
did not revive. and died in a few mo-
ments In the arms Of his son before the
arrival OF physician.
The name OF Val. Murray has long
been regarded by those who knew his
generous, self-sacrificing nature, as a
synonym for kindness and liberality.
His services, his purse and the products
OF hi farm were always at the disposal
OF those in need. Genial and hospitable
to the last degree. he was ever ready to
sacrifice his own comfort to the comfort
Of others. He followed the dictates OF
his own heart which was full Of sympa-
thy for his fellow-men. He was always
an ardent Republican. and was candi-
date for County Treasurer in 1894, but
was not successful He was elected
County Commissioner last fall by a
large majority, and would have began
his official duties on January 1st. Val.
Murray was in the fullest sense Of the
word good man. and those who knew
him best will feel the keenest grief at
his departure.
Funeral services were held Wednes-
day at 2 o'clock p. NJ The funeral adj
dress at the residence was given by
Rev. j. G.. Noble in accordance with a
request made by the deceased several
years ago. Rev. Noble was assisted by
Revs. Palmer and Hartman. The re-
mains were laid IN rest in Circle Hill
cemetery, the ord; Of Odd Fellows, Of
which he was member. officiating at
the grave.

Renewed their Love,

The Italian man and woman who
eloped from Walston last week and were
arrested at Pittsburg, passed through
Reynoldsville Friday evening on the A.
v. R'y in charge of Punxsutawney
officer, who was taking them back to
Walston. The woman's story is that
she came to this country two years ago
and left her lover in Italy. She forgot
her old love and married another Italian.
All went well until recently when the
old lover came to Walston and their
love acquaintance was renewed and an

Bracket Dam Experience.

Lewis Ludwick, Of Paradise Settle
ment. who has n saw mill on the banks
Of Trout Run, had an experience on the
bracket dam at his mill at neon yester-
day which he will never forget. The
dam was full Of water and Mr.. Ludwick
had raised the splash gate about two
feet high when he accidentally fell into
the dam above the gate and was carried
under the gate by the mad waters
and over the forty-foot chute and
down the rapids into the whirl-
pool below. 1t is miracle that he
escaped with his life. He says he has
thought of just such an experience but
always considered it an impossibility
for man to go through IL and live.
The best farm in Jefferson county would
not be an inducement for him to go
through the same thing again. His
pocket book and seven dollars found a
watery grave. Mr.. Ludwick, who is
well on in life's journey, was none the
worse yesterday afternoon from his close
call and thrilling experience.
