Dies from a Blow

Mrs. O. P. Williams, of Summerhill, went to Cleveland on Wednesday to attend the funeral of her brother, Charles A. Brietweiser, who died in a hospital in that city on Monday night, as the result of a blow he received on the 17th of April, when John Jlias struck him with a billiard cue. Mr. Brietweiser was a collector for a wine company and was assaulted in a saloon where he had gone to collect a bill.
