For several years, the deceased suffered from a cancerous growth over his eye for which he had tried several remedies, but without success. One day last week, just after sitting at the dinner table, one of the arteries near the sore broke. The blood gushed out in a stream, overflowing a basin and partly filling a 10 lb. butter tub.

He leaves a wife and several children.
