Trustee of Walker Township Stricken This Monday Morning at His Home Near Wheatfield. . -i Fred Karch, trustee of Walker township, suffered a stroke of paralysis this Monday morning at his home a few miles southeast of Wheatfield. His condition is reported to be serious and it is understood that he was .able to move only one hand'shortly after the stroke. It is believed that it will respilt .atally. It is thought that worry over trouble of one of the township schools superinduced the stroke. One teacher, Miss Miller, of South Bend, had been unable to secure discipline and Friday she tendered her resignation. Trustee Karch reported to Superintendent Lamson. who procured another teacher and took her to the school this morning. Miss Miller was again on hand and refused to relinquish the school. It is thought prpbable that her license will be cancelled. Mr. Karch is said to have been stricken soon after the report of the confusion was brought to him. Superintendent Lamson and John Pettit were at the Karch home soon after the trustee was stricken.
