FALL BROKE
HIS NECK.
Neal Bell Falls From Pile of
Lumber and Taken Up
a Corpse.
LEAVES LARGE FAMILY.
Had Been Subject to Heart
Trouble For Long
Time.


Last Monday afternoon, about four
o'clock, Neal Bell. colored, while UNI
loading a wagon, fell and broke his
neck.
Bell was one of the yard and wag-
on men of the Forbes Manufacturing
Company, for whom he had been
working many years. He was steady
in his habits and was generally liked.
He was standing on a pile Of lum-
Der about six feet from the ground,
and while moving a piece of lumber
with one of his feet, lost his balance
and fell between two piles Of lum-
Der.
The other men ran to his assistance
but when taken out Bell was a corpse
One of the men who had worked
with Bell testified before the Coro-
ner's jury that for several months
Bell had frequent attacks of weak
ness which compelled him at times
to stop work until his strength re-
turned, and that he also suffered
pain in his head.
There seems to be no doubt that
the unfortunate man had heart fail
ure, which caused him to fall to his
death without moments warning.
He leaves a wife and several child
rem.
Coroner AllenswoIth was notified
and he summoned jury, which re-
turned the following verdict:
We the jury, summoned by Coro-
ner James L. Allensworth, to look
into the death Of Neal Bell, find from
the evidance that in falling from a
pile of lumber in the yards of the
Forbes Mfg. Co., his neck was
broken.

HAD TOO GOOD a START.
Oeathside Remark That Is Rich In
Moral Warning.


A remark fraught with wisdom was
uttered under tragic circumstances by
New York physician a short time
ago. He was called TO the bedside of
young man Of fine family who had
just ended his life by putting bull
let through his heart. The doctor was
family physician and had known the
youth for years. He shook his head
sadly as he raised the lifeless hand
and let it drop.
He was a boy OF brains" he said,
but he had too much money ever TO
amount to anything"
That was the root OF the evil in this
case. as 1t is in SO many others. The
young man had a settled income. Is
turned his mind from work. He led
the life of an idler. He had no ambi-
ton. no pride. He dawdled here and
there, he became a lounger about the
aters, he picked up acquaintances who
were a damage TO him. And, finally.
when he tired OF it all. he resorted TO
the revolver and brought the worth
less game to an end
He had too much money ever 10

doctor. and IL is remark rich In NOR
