    • HORSES KICK PROVED FATAL

      JAC. H. DEDELS OF BRESLAU DIES AS RESULT OF INJURIES RECEIVED

      FUNERAL TO BE HELD ON MONDAY.

      Death came with startling suddenness to Jacob H. Dedels, miller at Breslau, on Friday.

      Mr. Dedels visited the Agricultural College on Thursday morning and while stabling his horse, received a severe kick in the abdomen.

      He was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital where an operation was performed in the hope of saving his life.

      However, after lingering through Thursday night, death relieved his of his suffering at five o'clock Friday afternoon.

      His demise has cast a gloom over the whole community, where he was known for his honorable and Christian character.

      Mr. Dedels leaves behind him a broken hearted widow and six young children to mourn the loss of a kind father and a tender husband.

      The interment will take place at Cressman's cemetery, Breslau. Services at the house at 1.30 p.m. Monday.

      Mr. Dedels was a brother-in-law of Mr. P. Fischer, Elgin street, town.
