Her age was about 33 years, and she leaves a husband, one daughter, Miss Irene Ballinger of Hammond, by a former marriage, and three sisters and four brothers.

Mr. Honzm called at The Democrat office yesterday and said that the report was grossly exaggerated. He is indeed quite a lively corpse yet, we are glad to say.

Ayr and was brought to the hospital here the of the week, suffering from influenza, died yesterday morning 'and the body wa* shipped to his home at Latty, Ohio, yesterday afternoon.
