Dies On The Train
Former Railroad Conductor Suddenly Expires On Way Home
George A.Olmsted,formerly a conductor on the O.R.&N., died on teh way from the 
Dalles to Portland yesterday morning of valvular disease of the heart. he had 
been on a ranch near Shaniko during the summer and was returning to his 
home.400 Prescott street,Highland, by the early morning freight from The 
Dalles,whe he suddenly fell dead near troutdale.
Mr.Olmsted reached The Dalles Saturday with a severe pain in the stomach, 
which was not relieved during the journey toward Portland,but had not grown 
worse. The trainmen knew him to be a sufferer of gallstones,and did not think 
his condition serious. Early in the morning while running through 
Troutdale,one of the brakemen was about to cook something for him to eat when 
he noticed him breathing heavily. In a short time he was dead. When the train 
reached Portland,Coroner Finley was called and an examination showed that he 
had died from heart trouble. The funeral will take place from his late 
residence tomorrow.
