Deatl, of a Good Citizen.

Mr.. Preston Il. Allen died suddenly
ut the livery stable Of Mr.. j. $. Fow-
Icr,, III this city, last Friday about II
O'Clock, and the announcement cf his
death was IL great shock to his many
friends and relatives. He had been
victim Of the grip for several days, but
visited the city and mingled with his
friends tho day preceding, though he
was in u weak condition. He returned
to the city Friday morning to attend to
some important business in company
with Mr.. J. IL. Pruitt, who noticed be-
fore reaching the city that his condi-
tiOn was much worse than it was the
day before. MIR. Allen got some mcdi
cine from Il drug store, drove at once
to the stable, was helped ont Of his
buggy, carried into Al room and placed
on lounge. DR.. Harris attended the
suffering man and left him resting
quietly. Shortly afterwards it was no
ticcd that he was not breathing. DR..
Harris and other physicians were i'm
mcdlately summoned, but when they
reached him death had claimed him as
its victim. A stroke Of apoplcxy had
caused his death.
Mr.. Allen was Il son Of the late james
Allen, of AbbcvIlc County, where he
was born and reared, and was about as
ycars0 of age. Since his young manhood
he had been Il citizen of this County,
living 1T Starr, in Savannah Township.
/ Ia ri f,f
lan;l in this and Abbevillc COua,y, and
his life was an active, cvcntful and
successful one. He was one of Andcr-
son COunty's NJ extensive and pro-
gressivc farln.-., and Interested in
many Of her enterprises. iIe was Il
man Of many noble traits Of character,
public spirited and always ready 10 do
his portion OF anything that was for
the good of his Countynnd people. He
was n large hearted man, and never
turned Il deaf ear to any person who
came TO him in trouble and distress.
Those who knew him best loved linn
most. and his place will be hard to fill
in his immediate nclghbcrh0Od, where
he will be greatly missed.
MIR. Allen was Il man of very decided
convictions, and he had the courage to
carry them out. When he took u stand
he was giant inlmovablc, and no OBJ
stacle was too big for him to overcome
when he set his head to work to accom-
plisfi the task. He, no doubt, had his
faults and shortcomings like all men,
and this may have caused him to have
sonic enemies, yet his enemies rccog-
nized III him IL manly, honest foe, too
high minded to stOOl, to anything un-
worthy Of the tl man or beneath the
dignity of Il gentleman.
Mr.. Allen was twice married, the last
time to Miss Bessie Jones, daughter
Of the late VIM. Jones, who survives
him.
The funeral services were held ut the
home of the deceased on Sunday morn
ing, and were conducted by Rev. l.. L.
Inabinett, the pastor of the Methodist
Church ut Starr, in the presence of q
large congregation of borrowing friends
and relatives. The remains were laid
to rest in the Cross Roads Churchyard.

ALMOST SUFFOCATED
0rVille Brewer Has Narrow Es-
cape From Death.

0rville Brewer, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank P. Brewer, had very narrow
escape from death at his home corner
of Third street and Third avenue,
Sunday afternoon. The young man
came near smothering in the bath
room on account of lack of air.
The bath room Is quite small and
the doors fit very snug, so that there
is absolutely no chance for circula-
ton of air when the room is closed.
There is gas stove in the room to
heat water for the tub. When the
heater is lighted and an occupant in
the room there is naturally great
consumption of the oxygen of the
room and it does not take long for the
exhaustion of the supply. Added to
this there is an odor from the stove
that is caused by the heating OF the
asbestos paper.
Mr.. Brewer heard an unusual noise
in the bath room. He called to his
son and receiving no answer and find
ing the door secured he forced an en-.
trance and found the boy lying on the
floor face down. Medical attention
was secured Immediately, restora-
tives applied and it took some hard
work to bring the young man back TO
consciousness. 1t was a close call
and he does not care for a repetition
of the experience.

RESISTED OFFICERS.
A Saturday Night Drunk Causes Much
Excitement

Officer Bert Mastin has black and
badly injured eye, the result of an
encounter with a refractory drunk
Saturday evening at the corner Of
First avenue and Market street.
James Donnelly, a miner, had sew
eral too many drinks aboard and was
demonstrative. He was told to leave
town by the officers who gave him
every chance to escape arrest. The
man showed a disposition TO make
trouble, however, and the officer
placed him under arrest. The fellow
resisted and showed fght and an
other officer came to the assistance
of lhe7 first. Donnelly laid down on
his back and began kicking at every
thing that came within reach. OH
Ger Mastin bent over TO catch the
fellow by the arms and he kicked
Bert in the eye making very bad
bruise. About this time Officer Frank
Hoffman came in line with the mans
foot and he received a kick on the
head that he will remember for a
number Of days. The prisoner was
finally overpowered, loaded into the
patrol and taken to the jail. He viii
have two sentences to settle for, one
for intoxication and the other for re-
sisting an officer.
