Death Likely Resulted from Over-exertion or a Gr-anddaueh- ter Makes the Deaths over the County. While picking apples in the lot in the rear of his home, on Saturday morning, death came quickly to R.

Porter Warden, of Marchand, this county. Just what caused his sudden ending will probably never be known. About 9:30 o'clock, Mr. Warden left his home in his usual health, and a half hour later was found dead beneath an apple tree by his little granddaughter. He had placed a ladder on the tree and had gathered a quantity of the fruit and brought it to the house.

This was the last time he was seen alive. Shortly after he returned to the tree the sudden summons came. At first it was believed that he met death by falling from the ladder or tree but Dr. J. W.

Morrow, of Marchand, who was summoned shortly after the body was found, and the members of the family believe that death was caused by over-exertion. According to the physician's theory the man was seized with an attack of heart trouble while on the ground or near the foot of the ladder, as the only mark of violence on the body was a small bruise on his forehead. No bones were broken, and the rumor that his neck was broken is stoutly denied by those who are acquainted with the circumstances. Around his neck was attached a sack containing only a few apples which were supposed to have been gathered from the ground. Death came only a short time before the body was found.

The deceased was aged 72 years, and for a long period had been crippled by rheumatism. At periods, he had suffered from heart trouble. His wife and the following children survive: Mrs. William Good, of Marchand; Mrs. Bennett VanHorn, of Georgeville; Mrs.

Emma Troxell, of Cur wensville; Clarence Ward- en.of Grampion, John Rossmoyne, and Mrs. R. D. Lowmaster, of Thayer, Kan. The funeral services were conducted, on Monday, in the Marchand Evangelical church by Rev.

J. M. Cogley, of Marion Center, and interment followed in the Marchand cemetery. PLUCKY WOMAN KILLS EABID CA NINE BUT WAS BIT PEN. Two Little Boys Were Also Bitten All Three Taken to City for Pasteur Attacked by DOS Went Alarmed Over the Doe's Havoc.

On last Saturday Mrs. Edward Rummel and two of John Johns anc Eli of Beringer, this county, were taken to New York city for pas tuer treatment. All three were bitten about two weeks ago by a mad dog which appeared in the neighborhood frothing at mouth and snapping at everything in its path. The rabid canine was never in the neighborhood before. The two boys were first attacked and each were bitten on the hand.

The dog then ran to the Rnmmel hog pen a short distance away and attacked the hogs. Mis. Edward Rammel, who was near by, was attracted by the squealing of the pigs. She armed herself with a poker but when she reached the pen tbe dog attacked her and tore a frightful gash with his in her right foot. Mrs.

Enmmel continued to battle with her foe succeeded in dealing the dog a death blow on the head. The havoc committed by the unwelcome visitor spread fear in the neighborhood but the alarm increased on last Thursday, when the pigs which had been carefully guarded showed unmistakable symptoms of rabies. They snapped at every object before them and attempted to tear down the pen. They refused to eat and their legs became paralyzed. On Friday all ware killed and the physicians fearing that the same dreadful fate might ba in store for the woman and the two boys that were bitten advised them to leave immediately for the Pasteur institute in New York city, where cases of this character are moat successfully treated.

They were taken there the following day and the neighborhood is greatly concerned for the safety of the three and await in awful suspense for the developements which the future will bring.
