OELWEIN, IOWA

A. Brassie, whose serious illness we noted last week, died at his home near the Kansas City tracks on Frederick street Tuesday night. He suffered a great deal during his illness. A post mortem examination was held Wednesday morning, being conducted by Drs. Baker, Pattison, Cozens, Cole and Hodge. The examination disclosed the fact that most of the inner organs were diseased, the stomach and liver malignantly so. The liver was enlarged to about three times its normal condition and weighed 15 1/4 pounds. It was hard to determine whether the disease was of a cancerous nature or tuberculosis, so a portion of the parts were sent to Dr. Gilchrist, of the State University for examination. The funeral will take place from the Catholic church to-day, services being conducted by Rev. Father O'Conner.
