preparatory to putting his horses and
vehicle away. He had unhitched the
horses and went into the shed for
some purpose and there fell dead.
He was first discovered by Walter
j. Yardley who had come over on an
errand, and when he found that Mr..
Michaels was dead he went with all
haste to the nearest neighbors for as
sistance. Several had arrived before
Mrs Michaels. was informed of her
huaband's sad and untimely death.
We heartily praise the boy for his
forethought, which enabled them to

with help at hand.
We deeply regret the loss of a good
neighbor and kind and hospitable
father and friend, and the bereayed
family have the heartfelt sympathy
of all.
The funeral was to day near Bourne
