TWO OVERCOME BY
 HEAT IN CHURCH
No Little Excitement at the Catholic Church This Morning When Father Mclean and Brad HOl. comb Suffered Painting
 Spells.

While on the pulpit at the early morning mass, held at St. Joseph's Catholic church this morning at 6 o. clock, Father Mclean suffered faint ing spell, being overcome by the heat and had to be taken from the church to his home nearby. He was given inn mediate medical attention and is rest ing we'll this afternoon. A rather singular coincidence was the fact that three hours later. while in attendance at g o'clock mass at the same church, Brad Holcomb, we'll known and pop ular young man of this city who was recently appointed general yardmaster for the Iron Mountain road here. tainted in church, being overcome by the heat. He was also hurriedly re- moved to his home, where physician attended him and stated that he would be able to leave his bed tomorrow.
 The masses were held to observe the Holy Day of Obligation in the Catholic church here and the interior of the edifice was literally jammed with church goers at both services. The crowded condition of the church naturally made the atmosphere very close : d sultry and it was due to the excessive heat that Father Mclean and Mir. Holcomb were overcome.
