SUDDEN DEATH--Benjamin Butler, of Niles Township, aged seventy-two, died very
suddenly on Thursday of last week, of heart disease.  Mr. Butler, as we learn,
started to go fishing on the day mentioned, and when a few rods from the house,
was attacked with a spell of dizziness, to which he has been subject for several
years, and leaving his bucket and fishing tackle, he returned to the house and
complained to his wife who advised him to lie down.  He did so, and in a few
minutes said he felt better.  Shortly after, Mrs. Butler missed him from the
house, and when he was found he was lying dead within a short distance from
where he had left his pail and fishing apparatus, having, to all appearance,
died without a struggle.
