tim of Heart Disease.

Southbridge, Oct. 2s-Joseph O.
Bourque died here suddenly last night
of heart disease, aged about 50 years.
Mr., Bourque was found this morning
in his music store. corner of Main and
Central streets, by his nephew, Pitt H.
Herbert. Mr.. Bourque had been dead
all night. He left his store with
friend shortly after 10 o'clock last
night, and when they parted on. the
sidewalk, Mr.. Bourque was. on his way
home. He evidently had forgotten
something, and had returned to his
store for that reason when death came.
Mr.. Bourque lived with his nephew,
MIR. Herbert, ON Hamilton street, and
as he frequently was out late, being
musician, his absence was not noticed
until this morning. Mr.. Bourque has
been identified with the musical life of
southbridge for years, and was an ac-
complished violinist as well as a per-
former on a number of other instru-
pents, and has taught music here for
number of years. He has also been
connected with many theatrical enter
prises until recently. He had heart
trouble more or less for some time, and
that was the cause of his death. 2
