Mr.. Blaisdeu was seemingly in the
best of health all day Saturday He
attended the football game in the aft
ernoon, where, it is said, he may have
overtaxed himself, for he was one of
the most enthusiastic of spectators.
After the game he went almost directly
to the home of John Colburn, where he
expected to dine. He sat down on a
sofa and presently was stricken with
paralysis. DR.. Wood was called and
after some time the patient seemed bet
ter and ne was sent to his home. He
cnatted with his family and some
f4ends for a while, but finally fell
asleep and never awoke.
