Sudden Death.

When the D. A. Canton family were driving home after the baccalaureate service Sunday evening the team became frightened and Mrs. Carnes who was going home with them and Mrs. Cannon jumped from the buggy. When the team got quiet the other occupants of the buggy went back to see how the ones who jumped had fared. Mrs. Cannon was only slightly hurt, but Mrs. Carnes was dead. Coroner Glann says her death was due to heart failure and not to the fall. The remains will be laid to rest beside her husband's in Sycamore, Ill.
