Mis 3 Almira Monnett one of the best known of the wealthy and well known Monnett family, was stricken with apoplexy some time during lastfTuesday night, and now lies totally paralyzed and unconscious at her boarding place, the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Cox, on north Van Rensselaer street. What time the seizure came is of course not known. When a member of the Cox family went to her room about seven o'clock next morniDg to light her fire, she knocked at tbe door and receiving no answer, w. s afraid to enter and telephoned for Marshal Parks who went down and looking torn tbe window, saw her lying in her bed, apparently unconscious. Physicians were sent for and they pronounced her trouble paralysis resulting from a stroke of apoplexy, and did not hold out any hopes that she would ever regain consciousness. This is not her first attack, as 6he bad a light stroke of this same malady some years ago.
