Wolcott Banker Suffers Hemorrhage While Riding in His Automobile.

J. J. Montgomery, who is in Wolcott, this Friday morning telephoned Delos Thompson that Bert Dibell, the well known president of the Wolcott State Bank, was in a very critical condition and not expected to live, Thursday in company with another party he was riding in the country in his automobile. Suddenly he was stricken with a hemorrhage and left in such a condition that he could not drive the machine. ■" His companion was not a chauffeur and was compelled to walk some distance to a telephone and call for assistance to come after the car and the sick banker. Mr. Dibell’s condition became much worse after his return to his home and it is thought likely that he can not survive. He is about 55 years of age.
