ORRHAGES OF STOMACH
RESULT IN DEATH.
Mr.. Rundle Was Nearly 81. Had
Lived a Busy Life, Full of Good
Deeds. Service at Congrega- j3;,,,-
tional Church and was in
Charge Of Masons. IL;
Early Monday morning the sad
news came to this city that P. n.
Rumble had passed away at half-past
four o'clock that morning at the
Sarchet :. hospital in New England
from stomach hemorrhages. s
The news came as a terrible shock
to his many friends in the city who,
supposed he was rallying nicely from
his serious illness.
Saturday noon, May 8, Mr.. Rumble,
who had just finished seeding at his
Midway ranch-farm, complained Of
not feeling we'll. He did not eat much
dinner and lay down to rest. Later
in the day he partially lost the use of
his arms and legs and suffered hem
orrhages of the stomach. DR.. Sarchet
was summoned from New England
and Mrs Sarchet; (nee Anna Reid)
went out with her husband. They
made him as comfortable as possible.
The next morning the hemorrhages
returned and the. 6archets Were called
again. This time an auto bed was
fixed up and Mr.. Rumble was taken to
New England, his, wife accompanying
him. There he had the best Of care,
two nurses, and two doctors were sum-
moned from Dickinson on the 9th. +
It was the. opinion Of all the ply
sicions that, although Mr.. Rumble
was very weak from loss Of blood,
that did the 'hemorrhages not return,
he would recover; but that he could
not live through a third attack. Sun
day, the 18th, he seemed much better
and was very bright and happy, and
hoping to be out in "a week. But Sun
day night the dreaded third attack
came about midnight and there was,
nothing medical skill could do. Mr..
Rundle was. conscious. most Of these
last hours and spoke no word of
death but asked his wife not to leave
his bedside. The end came peacefully
at half-past four o'clock the morning
of the 18th. His little son was In
New England but the two daughters,
who were attending school in Dickin-
son, did not reach their fathers bed
side before he died-so- suddenly did
the end come. -.-.>.....
Robert Wilcox, John Orchard and
Thomas II. Pugh, near, friends, and
the daughters, were called soon after.
400 o'clock Monday morning and left
Immediately in an auto for New Eng
land, distance of 25 miles.
Mr.. Rumble had not complained and
had seemed to be in his usual health
for a long time previous to May s,
and the suddenness and severity Of
the attacks was surprising.
