.,r,bs TO Meningitis Of the Brain,
After Being Unconscious
Tor 4 Week.
PRESSURE ON THE BRAI2
c,uaed by inflammation Of Meninac
Which Followed Four Days
After Attack Of the
Measles.

william Alfred Tucker. the four
vear old son Of Mr.. and Mrs. A. Fl.
fucker. 1902 Reid street, died at s:45
o'clock last night after having been in
an unconscious sleep for nearly a
week. Death was caused by menin-
gitis of the brain which resulted form
an attack OF the measles. The case
was peculiar one and puzzled local
musicians who declared 1t to be un-
ioue in medical history.
Four days after the boy had broken
ont with measles, inflammation Of the
meninges, or covering Of the brain, set
IN and produced such pressure that
resulted. He had
been in this condition since / o'clock
last Saturday morning and died while
in this state, never recovering con-
sctousness. During this time the
boys blood pressure and respiration
we're nearly normal and he appeared
to be in a sleep. Nourishment was in
troduced into his system at times by
artificial means and physicians work
Cd over him until the last in an effort
10 bring him back to consciousness.
The boy was born in Keokuk Jan
uary Z, 1918. Besides his parents he
is survived by three sisters, Elsie,
Blanche and Emma Tucker.

OLD MAN WAS
NOT SO SLOW
At Eighty-four Years, Able to Chase
Photographer Hall Block
and Weld His
Cane

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
NEW YORK. June 16.-Before night
Octogenarian John B. Manning will
know whether his admitted fitting OF
pretty twenty-eight year old Honora
May O'Brien will cost him the $1,000
600 which the plaintiff insists may
mend her shattered sensibilities. The
| summing up occupied the morning
ssey. It closed case which for speed
in handling has everything Of like
nature beaten in the history Of New
York's court records.
The eighty-four year old defendant
appeared in court today almost jaunty
after his spirited word fencing
throughout last nights session. He
had admitted that much of the palsy
with which his hands seemed shaken
and much Of his hating walk, was as
sumed simply because he had been
told that the jury might be impressed
with the contrast between fresh, Wig
orous, rosy checked Honora May
OBrien and his own decrepft old age.
This admission out Of the way, Man
ming gave the cross-examining lawyer
vivid exhibition Of his clearness of
mind and native shrewdness tinctured
with quaint philosophy and humor.
Miss OBrien's attorney went at the
witness with hammer and tongs. He
got Manning frankly to admit that he
didn't consider himself feeble old
man. and that he had chased a
photographer half block and smash
ed him across the back with a cane"
Manning confessed he had kissed the
lalr plaintiff. not many times, as It
was sin to kiss girls and get them
thinking of me-" He laughed in hum
orous chuckles in relating the game
OF euchre in the Manning home when
ne and Honora May playfully put the
stakes as possession Of himself-and
May won me-" as he expressed it.
throughout all the examination he
carefully defended Miss O'Brien's
ruthfulness but always insisted he be-
gan to get suspicious that the
y brlens. Honora and her mother.
We're trying to ''inveigle him into mar.
fiage."
The millionaire laughed heartily in
describing this attempt to "inveig1e."
~, after We played cards one night,
MISS OBrien suddenly got down and
my shoes. I don't want
you 70 to do that; 1t isn't nice She said
she wanted to show me what she |
y do for me and what g. comfort !
sue would be for me. Then she swirl |
y her skirts about me and swamped |
ns, throwing me down on the sofa. l !
I. Viu her that was wicked and not to do |
again, that it wasn't nice. She
'ushed and turned on her heel"
