PORTLAND, Nov. 20.--Mrs. Salina d.
Gustin dropped dead in her pew at the
First Presbyterian church last night
during service. So quietly was her pass.
ing that not even the pastor of the
church, Rev. T.. p. Hill, knew of her
death until the evening meeting was
over.
Mrs. Gustin had not been previously
i'll, in fact had enjoyed the best Of
health since her arrival in this city from
Omaha, Neb., about five weeks ago. She
had been staying with her daughter,
Mrs. d. Stuart, since her arrival in
Portland, and was attending church
with her when death came. 1t was be-
lieved at first that she was merely in a
faint and she was carried quietly TO the
vestibule and physician summoned
from the church congregation TO attend
her, The doctors efforts to resusitate
her, however, we're in vain, and she was
carried to the home Of her daughter.
Her death is attributed to heart failure.
A wind end snow storm has been in

snow flakes today and tonight small

that a cold snap will continue for
several days. He says indications are
that the weather will be.coldest east OF
the mountains, and he has fears for the
welfare Of the cattle and other stock in
those regions. No storm OF unusual
severity have as yet been reported at sea.
