The end was perfectly peaceful.” Later it was stated that the cause of Lord Northcliffe’s death was suppuration, or the + « production of pus within the hye ~~ y y heart, which was followed by acute blood poisoning.

Lord Northcliffe was by, fa! the most noted figure in Brit- ish journalism. and the first question on everyone’s lips was as to what effect his death will have on the, policies of the Times and his other ‘newspaper's; which: since’ thé end of the war have strongly, opposed the Lloyd George ad- ministration and its principles with the notable exception of ~-its dealings with Ireland, which Northcliffe press sup- ported throughout. f The medical terms used in giving the cause of Lord Northcliffe’s death were ‘ul- cerative endocarditis, strepto-! cocoal septicemia and terminal « syncope.

He was working on some machinery near- iby., He rushed to the shouse, opened 'a door and narrowly escaped a severe | burning from the blast which issued.

Be@ause of the direction of the wind the fire just missed a great deal of machinery, A Tribune carrier boy reported an |incidemt of the fire. A cat and kit- tens were caught in the loft of a barn. The mother cat braved the fire ; and rescued all of her kittens, carry- ing them safely to the ground. Loss on the buildings is estimated at about $4,000 with $1,200 insurance.

Two of the injured were being cared for here and the others in Minneapolis. The wreck occurred when an oil truck driven by Fred Lamar was struck by the passenger train.
