Mr. R. F. Dalton
Stricken
Friends of R. F. Dalton were
greatly alarmed last night by re
ports that he had been stricken
with a violet illness on the street
and his condition was very seri
ous. A report from his bedside
later to the effect that' he was
resting comfortably and that his
condition was in no sense con
sidered critical caused genuine
relief and gratification to those
'who had heard of his illness.
Mr. Dalton had been reading in
the club in the late aiternoon
and about 5 o'clock remarked
that he had a dizzy feeling and
believed he would r home and
take a dose of medicine, lie s.n
he had felt similar attacks several
times in the past few months. On
the street he joined a son, the two
walking toward home together.
When he turned the Sycamore
street corner Mr. Dalton became
very weak and the assistance of
3 passing acquaintance was re
piired to get him to his room.
He soon fell asleep and last night
his condition seemed greatly hv
proved Greensboro News.
The Enterprise inquired after
Mr. Dalton this afternoon and
found him better. He had a very
serious attack.
