CLINTON MEN ARE VICTIMS OF THE HEAT
JOHN BROGAN, OVERCOME, DIES IN HOSPITAL

John Brogan, aged about 50 years and an old resident of the city, died at a local hospital at 10:45 o'clock Sunday night, from the effects of heat prostration.

Mr. Brogan was born in Clinton, and spent his entire life here. He was a laborer by occupation and was the last member of his family to pass away.

Mr. Brogan made his home at the Farmer's Home on First street. He was missed Sunday afternoon, and when search was made for him, he was found lying unconscious in the yard, suffering from sun-stroke. The city ambulance was called, and he was conveyed to the hospital, where he lingered until night in an unconscious condition.
