Trustee Karch, of Walker Township, Stricken With Paralysis.

Fred Karch, trustee of Walker tp., was stricken with paralysis Monday forenoon and is reported to Be in a precarious condition. It is thought that worry over township matters brought on the stroke. One ot his teachers, a Miss Miller of South Bend, had been having some trouble in preserving discipline in school, and Friday she is said to have resigned and Mr. Karch instructed the county superintendent to find another teacher for him. nt. Lamson went up Monday morning with a teacher to take her place and found Miss Miller in charge and she stated that she was going to hold the fort. Soon aftey a report of the situation was brought to him Mr. Karch was stricken. He was unconscious but kept talking about this trouble. Supt. Lamson and John F. Pettet visited Mr. Karch Monday and he seemed to know them, but after they had gone he asked members of his family who they were. Mr. Pettet and Mr. Meyers of Walker, were down yesterday and reported that Mr. Karch’s condition was no better, in fact worse, if anything, and his friends seem to fear that he will not survive.
