and Mrs. Charles Stowe, died rather
suddenly at their home Wednesday
afternoon about 1:30 o’clock. The

been confined to its bed. It ate a
hearty dinner Wednesday and was
playing in the yard when it became
suddenly ill aDd died within twenty
minutes before medical aid could be
obtained. The exact cause of itp
leath Is not known though it was
doubtless due to heart failure super

It had been suffering. Funeral ser

day afternoon at 3 o’clock and inter
ment followed in Oakwood Cemetery.
Mr. and Mrs. Stowe have the sympa
thy of a large number oT friends in
