Horseshoer Works Hard Then Lays Down to Die

After shooing fifteen horses during working hours, Tuesday, W. C.
Hibech lay down on the floor of his blacksmith shop, in McCabe, at 6
o'clock in the evening, and expired a few minutes later, presumably
from excessive use of alcoholic stimulants.

Deceased was aged about 45 years. He had resided in McCabe but a
short time and very little is known of his antecedents.

A son, 15 years of age, and a daughter, aged 5 survive him.

The remains were taken in charge by the Ruffner undertaking
establishment and brought to this city. Interment will take place
this afternoon, at 3 o'clock, in the Citizen's cemetery.
