(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Aug. 1S.-The prominence
which General Chaffee has attained in

some discussion as to a suitable reward
for him by promotion in the regular

what he will get the next vacancy among
the Brigadier Generals Of the regular
army and some Of his friends in the War
Department talk of still higher honors
for him, and indicate that it is quite
possible that he will be selected for
Major General when the next vacancy oc-
ours. If this were done, 10 would be pro-

4 SUDDEN DEATH.
Ross Andruss, of the Town of Bris-
tOI, Expired Very Suddenly at His
Home Tuesday Morning.
HEART DISEASE THE CAUSE

The Young Man Had Been in Usual Health
and Had Gone to the Barn to Attend to
His Work, When He Fell in a Falnt-He
Was Carried to the House and Doctor
Summoned, But Died Before the Arrival
of the Physician.
News is brought to the city of the
death of Ross Andruss, one of the best
known young men of the town of
Bristol. The deceased died very sud
denly Tuesday morning and the un-
timely death of the young man has
thrown a pail over many of the homes
of the town.
Ross Andruss was Is years of age
and a son of Marvin Andruss,
of Poplar Grove. Wis. He has
been living at the home of his uncle.
He arose early Tuesday, as was his
practice, and went to the barn and at
tended to the work which had been as
signed to him. Later he returned to
the house for breakfast and was one
of the jo1liest members of the party
around the board for the morning
meal. After the breakfast was over
the young man and some of the other
men at the house started out to the
barn to begin the usual work of the
day. Young Andruss went to work,
but few moments later he fell to the
ground as if In faint. The compan-
ions of the young man fastened to his
side and found that he was in an uncon-
scious condition. Kind hands bore the
unconscious form to the house and a
doctor was called. However, before
the arrival of the physician the young
man was dead. An examination
showed that death had resulted from
heart disease. The young man had
been dead for some time when the doc
tor arrived and it is supposed that he
expired before he had been carried to
the house.
The news of the sad death of young
Andrus spread rapidly to all parts of
the neighborhood and caused general
sorrow. The young man had been
born and reared in the town and was
known to every resident. He was a
hard worker and was always one of
the boys who assisted in keeping the
town from going to sleep. No social
function was complete without his
his presence and his death will leave
a place that will indeed be hard to fill.
AS physician pronounced the cause
of the death heart disease, it was not
deemed necessary to hold an inquest.
The funeral will be held on Thursday
afternoon and the remains will be in
tered in Wesley Chapel Cemetery.
