Massillon, April 13-Mrs. Peter Rusni
died in DR.. Culbertson's office last night
at Z o'clock, into which place she had
been carried from the street twenty
minutes before. Mrs. Rushi came to the
city in the afternoon from her home near
Bridgeport with her husband and her
infant child. About $50 in the evening,
as she was not feeling well. she decided
to consult DIR. Hallock before returning
home. She started for the office of the
physician, carrying the infant in her
arms. When she reached the corner of
Hill street she felt faint and sat on the
stone wall at the Baldwin residence to
rest. A young lady who came past was
asked to hold the child a moment, as
she was i'll. The young woman COM

DR.. Culbertson across the street and re-
ported the case co the physician. DIR.

Mysteries She screamed as though in
great pain as she was led to the office
of the doctor. DR.. T. ]. Reed went to
the Office of DR.. Culbertson and looked
at the patient. Her condition was not
considered serious and he returned to
his home. Shortly after she became un-
conscious and within 20 minutes the
woman expired without regaining con-
sciousness. The doctor stated that the
cause of death was heart disease. Dur
ing all the turmoil incident to the sad
affair the bape slept peacefully, unable
to realize the irreparable loss that it
had sustained.
There was nothing about the woman
to show who she was and for a consld-
cradle time her identity was not known.
A curious, crowd passed through the
office of the physician where the body
lay but no one could identify the corpse.
AT seven o'clock the remains were re-
moved to Higerd's undertaking rooms.
BY this time the story of the sudden
death was generally circulated.
Mr.. Rushi was on the street talking
to some friends and heard the story of
the death. After hearing the descrip-
tion of the dead woman and of the child,
he exclaimed: my God, believe that
is my Wife" He hurried to the rooms
of the undertaken and at the first sight
of the body broke down, and wept Bit
terly. Nothing could be done with him
for some time. He was nearly pros
trated. He went to the office of the
doctor and got his motherless child.
The body was taken to the home of the
stricken family.
DIAMOND RING GONE.
Massillon, April 13-Miss L. Maude
Keller, the well known elocutionist, is
bemoaning the loss of a fine diamond
ring, which she reports, was stolen from
her home, in East South street, Wednes-
day afternoon. Miss Keller called up
on Mayor Wise last evening and re-
quested that a policeman be sent to the
home of a person whom she suspected
knew something OF the missing ring.
AS search warrant was not issued,
this was not done. Miss Keller then
called upon Prosecuting Attorney Day,
and placed the matter in his hands. The
ring is valued at nearly one hundred
dollars. 1t is understood some children
who were playing about the premises
are suspected of knowing something
about the disappearance of the jewel.
