Louis Jeltz, for many years a resl
vdent of Honesdale, died suddenly of
heart trouble In the ofllce of Dr.

5:30 Friday afternoon.
Mr. Jeltz had not been feeling
well of late, having just returned
from Carbondale, where he spent the
past two -weeks. When Dr. Nielsen
came home from a call he found Mr.
Jeltz on the porch of his office. A
chair "was on the porch In wh'ch he
waited part of the time, but was
walking on the porch when tho doc
tor arrived. Mr. Jeltz walked from
his home at 1530 West street to Dr.
Nielsen's. The doctor invited Mr.
.Jeltz in his office. The latter stated
that he did not feel very well and
came down to be "looked over." Dr.
Nielsen asked him If he had walked
down, to which Mr. Jeltz replied that
Tie had. He told hltm that he ought
not to have done so. While in con
versation with him the doctor got
Mr. Jeltz's consent to have the liv
ery take him home. Dr. Nielsen
then felt of Mr, Jeltz's pulse, which
w.is beating rapidly. He also sound
ed his heart and that too was Ir
regular, but did not murmur, indi
cating valvular trouoie. 'Mr. jeitz
then told the doctor that he needed
more air. In response to his request
the windows of the office were
raised. This did not appease Mr.
Jeltz. Remarking to Dr. Nielsen
that he must get outside to breathe
easily, he started for the door. The
doctor took his arm ana assisteu
him. A? he annroached the door
way he gave a gasp and fell back
wards, dying In Dr. Nielsen's arms.
A hypodermic was injected In Mr.
Jeltz's arm. but it "was of no avail.
Death had conquered. The doctor
'phoned Coroner P. 'B. Peterson who
claimed an inquest was unneces
sary. Louis Jeitz was a son of Louis
