Clyde E. Smith Suffers Attack of Heart Trouble Sunday Evening
 Condition Serious.

Clyde B. Smith, proprietor of the Smith Printing company, suffered a sudden attack of heart trouble Sunday evening as he was leaving the sl Jake side Methodist church and fell on the concrete steps. Dr. o. G. Blackwell who was near MT. Smith when ne became ill, administered to him and after an hour he was removed to the home of E. M. Kavanaugh, where ne remained until this morning when he was conveyed to his home.
 His condition was so serious that it was thought unwise to move him for some time, and MT. Smith remained on the steps where he fell fer more than an hour. He was in good health Sunday and filled his place in choir at the church as usual
 Mir. Smith was resting easy as his home yesterday, but the attending physician still regard his condition as serious.
