age a few weeks ago. He previous
ly made his home with his sister,
Mrs. William Whitenight of Raven
Creek. For a month or more he
had been working for Bruce Dresh
er on the farm near Stillwater and
it was there that the rash act was
committed. Mr. and Mrs. Dresher

report ot a revolver. They hurried
to the house and found the young
man lying on the floor with a gap
ing wound in his head from which
the blood was oozing. Dr. Wag

DEATH SUMMONS
CAME UNAWARES
Stricken With Heart Disease,
Chas. W. Trump Dropped
Dead on Monday;
HE HAD NOT COMPLAINED.
The call to the other world came,
to Charles W. Trump of Espy with
a suddenness that was shocking

town on the seven o'clock motor
car, and had gone to the residence
of A. Z. Schoch on Market street,
where he had been engaged by
Messrs ost& Herring, contract
ors, to do some carpenter work
The delivery of the material had for
some reason or other been delayed
and Mr. Schoch decided to put the
job on until it came.
Herring was agreeable to the
postponement, and asked Trump
how it would suit him. He replied
that it would not inconvenience
him in the least as he had some re
pair work at home that he would
attend to.
These were the last words he
ever uttered. He had barely finish
ed speaking when he was stricken
with heart disease and without
uttering a word or making any out
ward sign of distress fell to the
ground.
Mr. Schoch quickly picked him
up, but the fluttering spark had
tied. Dr. T. C. Rutter was sum
moned, but he could only confirm
what the first glance had told them
The deceased is survived by his
mother who is 83 years of age; his
wife and five children; Frank, an
operator 011 the main line of the
Lackawanna, at New ork; Arling
ton, who resides at home; Mrs. C
R. Miller of Plymouth; Mrs. H. B
Sharpless of Bloomsburg and Mrs.
Clinton Toole of Muncy. James
Trump of Orangeville is a brother
of the deceased.
, The deceased was a well known
resident of Espy, and has a host of
friends who were greatly grieved to
learn of his sudden death.

occurred yesterday.

The above list does not represent
the number of students who will
enter college from the Normal next
year. Many, a number probably
equal to the above list, will go to
college who have not completed the
course. This is explained by the
fact that some of the colleges do
not require that students in order
to be admitted, shall have taken
the advanced work as is required
by Normal to complete the college
preparatory course.
