Guy Stimmel Stricken While
Riding In West High
Street
MAIL CARRIER EXPIRES
WITHIN FEW MINUTES
Companion Unaware Of Con-
dition Until Car Crashes
Into Curb

Stricken with heart failure, Guy
Stimmel, mail carrier in this city for
several years, died at the steering
wheel Of his automobile while drivina
in West High street about $50 o'clock
Friday evening, Mr. StiWmeI was dem.
onstrating his car to Edward Walton
and had taken Mr.. Walton to Riverside
park and It was while returning that
death came with such swiftness that
he never uttered a sound after beinu
stricken.
According to Mr.. Walton, Mr.. Slim.
mel appeared in his usual health when
they started in the machine and they
were discussing the automobile as they
rode along. As they neared the Office
of the Mt. Vernon Hay Co., Mr.. Walton
said they ceased to talk and as the car
approached the office II suddenly veer-
ed toward the curb.
"l thought that he was probably iok-
ing and had turned the car that way"
said Mr.. Walton Saturday morning,
"but as he didn't right Il | advised
him to be careful, and received no an.
swer. then looked at Guy and he
was crumpled up in the seat behind
the wheel apparently unconscious and
was gasping for breath. Neither hand
was on the steering Wheel"
Mr.. Walton hastily stopped the car,
but not until it had crashed into the
curb just east of the hay companys
office. He shouted to several men
near the b. & o. station and they tel
ephoned for an ambulance to remove
Mr.. Stimmel to the hospital A pass
ing automobilist, however, offered his
services and hurried to the NJ. & S.
hospital with the unconscious man.
He was dead, however. before they
reached the hospital Mr.. Walton is
positive that Mr.. StimmeI was still liv-
ing when he was taken from his own
car. Coroner Stokes viewed the re-
mains at the hospital and pronounced
death due to heart failure.
Mr.. Stimmel had been subject to
heart attacks and was also a sufferer
from indigestion. He said about 5
o'clock Friday evening, while talking
to Walter Sapp, neighbor, that he
had not been feeling very well for sew
eral days, but apparently did not think
that his illness was more than slight
indisposition.
Mr.. Stimmel would have been 81
years of age on October IL. He leaves
his wife, Mrs. Mary Stimmel, one
daughter, Miss Edith, and one son,
Francis Stimmel, both living at home.
He also leaves one brother, Jay Slim
mel of Columbus, and his mother, Mrs.
Mary Stimmel, living at Long Beach,
Cal.
The funeral services will be held at
the Stimmel residence, sos East Gam
bier street. and the body will be taxi
en- to Columbus for burial. The time
of the funeral has not been decided
upon pending the arrival of Mr.. Slim
me's mother.

the ENTENTE REPLY.

The reply of the entente allies to
he peace suggestion of Germany was
expected. 1t was strong, terse and to
the point. 1t was probably the work
If some blunt, plain spoken English
man, doubtless Lloyd George, and ad-
mirably stated the position of the al
lies. Peace at this time and at the
lictation of the German emperor,
would be calamity to the allies and
also to the future peace and welfare
If Europe and of the world. Unless
this war shall result in the destruc-
ion of Prussian militarism and curb
the ambitions of the kaiser all OF the
blood and treasure so freely poured
out by France and England and their
allies will have been given in vain.
Much as peace is to be desired, 1t
assuredly would not be permanent If
made at the dictation of Germany.
The allies seem to realize this and
they are determined that their great
sacrifices shall not have been in vain.
The reply of the allies is a note OF
encouragement to the friends Of de
mocracy all over the world.
