r. c. BERRY is STRICKEN
Suffers Stroke as He Builds Fence
for Poultry.

r. c. Berry was seized with stroke
of paralysis yesterday morning at
about II o'clock while erecting a poul-
try fence in his yard in the northern
part of the city, and when discovered
by members of his family, was in an
unconscious condition.
Since being removed to the house he
has remained speechless, and he is at
this time in precarious condition. He
is paralyzed in his entire right side.
Mr.. Berry is the proprietor of the
Riverview Saloon, and when he ap-
peared at his place of business yester-
day morning, he seemed to be feeling
good, and when he returned to his
home at 10 o'clock he carried with him
a supply of material for the construc-
ton of the chicken fence. He had
made no complaints of feeling badly
and the stroke came as a complete
surprise to his family and friends.
1t is thought that perhaps the exer-
ton of carrying the load of building
material caused his sudden collapse.

RICHARD.C. BERRY
IS DEAD OF STROKE
Former Railroad Man Had Lived
in Cape for More Than
Quarter of Century.

Richard c. Berry, an old resident
and prominent business man of this
city, died at his home on North FOun-
tain street, last night at about 1870
o'clock.
His death was the result of a par
alytic attack with which he was strick-
en- on Monday morning at about II
o'clock.
Mr.. Berry, up until his fatal i'll
ness, had always enjoyed the best of
health. On the morning of his col
lapse he was engaged in making some
repairs about the yard at his home,
and when discovered by his wife was
lying unconscious where he had fallen.
H. was carried into the house and
physician summoned, but all efforts
to revive him were unavailing, and he
died last night without ever having re-
gained consciousness.
He was Ga years of age and was
born in BolIinger County. He came
from Lutesville to this city about %
years ago and for long time was
employed as track foreman and road
master on the Houck railroads. He
retired from the railroad work to en-
ter the saloon business in which he
has since been continuously engaged.
He was proprietor of the Riverview
saloon at the time of his death.
He is survived by widow, and a
nephew, Richard Berry, whom he rear
ed from childhood.
At this time funeral arrangements
have not been completed.

ONLY SISSINESS
REGENT THINKS
Doesn't Imagine Board Can
Hear Quarrel at Meeting
Next Month.
AUDITOR PREDICTS
INVESTIGATION SOON
State Official Recently Here Says
Conditions at School are
Warped.

The revolution in the department of
music at the Normal School has been
branded as s'too much sissiness" by
one member of the Board of Regents,
who thinks at was too bad that the
incident got in any of the newspa-
pers."
This regent announced that the
board could not take up quarrels
among teachers and therefore he does
not expect the regents to take up the
musicians quarrel at the regular
meeting in June.
The June meeting is held primarily
to approve the list of teachers ap-
pointed to serve for the next year.
These selections are made by ,Presi-
dent Dearmont. Whether President
Dearmont will fail to include the name
of the complaining teachers in his list
for appointments, cannot be learned.
1t is understood that one member
of the Board of Regents would favor
dismissing the revolving teachers, if it
could be done without causing the
teachers to make further revelations.
The two State officials, who spent
two weeks at the Normal several
weeks ago, auditing the books of the
institution, announced before they left
the city that the discord among the
teachers, coupled with other conditions
would probably result in an official
investigation.
"By spending few days there, one
will discover that it isn't the home of
harmony" one of the two auditors
said.
The system of financing the Normal
School is one feature which appealed

When the women reached her she
looked at them but was unable to

toppled from her seat and lay pros

Some men in the neighborhood were
summoned and the stricken woman
was, carried into the house. A physi-
clan was summoned and after resort
ing to heroic measures, succeeded in
reviving the patient.
For a while after being restored to
consciousness she upbraided her res
cuers, but later became reconciled to
live, and expressed the hope that she
would recover. She rested well all
day yesterday, and her physician
states that she has passed the danger
period and that her recovery is as

Frank Hit is Knocked I'm

POPCORN BANDIDT ALSO

F. E. Schrader's Till is Robbed
of Two Dimes by Boy
on Skates.

Frank Hit was slugged and robbed
by footpad, Friday night while en-
tering the home of his aunt, Mrs.
Charles Unnerstall near the corner of
MOrgan-Oak and Sprigg streets.
Mr.. Hit had gone to a store to pur-
chase some supplies, and on his return
to his home on South Sprigg street,
stopped at the home of his aunt to
deliver message.
When he reached the gate he placed
his bundles on top of one of the posts
and while he attempted to unfasten
the latch, thief struck him on the
back of his head. As he lost conscious
ness he recalls seeing the party seize
the package from the gate post and
dart away into the darkness.
When he revived he gave alarm and
a search was made for the robber, but
no trace of him was found.
A youthful bandit mounted on a
single roller skate dashed up to the
popcorn stand of F. E. Schrader on
Broadway Friday evening, and before
his presence was observed or his in
tentions anticipated by the proprietor,
he had rifled the cash drawer and
made his escape in the surging crowds.
The plan was carried out without in
terruption, and Mr.. Schrader would
perhaps have always remained in ig-
norance of the manner in which the
robbery was committed, had not John
ny Meadows, a youthful Sherlock
Holmes, who lives upstairs in an adj
joining building, witnessed the braz-
