suNsrRokE KILLS MAN.

Walter ELAN, aged about 30, died at
Elkhorn City Monday afternoon from
a nervous collapse thought to have
been superinduced by overheating
while sat work at the railway station
loading freight on wagons in the fore
noon. ELAN had been suffering from
neurotic trouble for great while, and
his age and weak nervous condition
were in large measure responsible
for his falling an easy victim to the
heat. He leaves a family.
