has been short, arrangements have
been made to accept the challenge
and the home champions are engaged
this afternoon in limbering up and
preparing for tomorrow's fray. No

Stricken With Pneumonia.

This city was very much shocked on
Tuesday morning when the news was
circulated that Frank Dewitt Kelley
had Succumbed to pneumonia at his
home in this city at 4:55 o'clock. Tt
was not generally known that the
young man was sick and this added
greatly to the shock. Frank was a
bright studiouS boy and had been in
the city school up to Thursday noon
of last week when he was taken sick
with the disease which ended fatty.
Medical skill and loving hands done
everything possible to save the young
life but awaited nothing and the end
came after i've days OF hard Struggl-
ing. He was conscious up to within a
few hours before death came and he
finally realized that he could not live
and bid father, mother, brothers and
sisters last farewell. Frank De-
witt Kelley was born in Phillipsburg
on March p, 1885 and at the time
of his death was II years and days
old. He leaves to mourn his death a
father, mother, three brothers and
two sisters. The funeral was held at
the Presbyterian church this morning
at 1890 conducted by Rev.. FL. Lamb
and the remains laid gently away in
the Fair View cemetery to await the
resurrection morn. The Herald sim
cerely joins the family and relatives
in their sad hours.
