Mrs. Evaline Alley, aged nearly 70 years, died about noon yesterday at the home of her son, J. L. Alley, who recently settled on his land in the Biddle pasture in the southeastern part of the county. The cause of death was an over dose of morphine, which had been taken accidently. Mrs. Alley and her son, Charles, arrived the first of the week from Manchester, Kans., on a visit here. Her sudden death at this time is a severe shock to the bereaved relatives.

Mrs. Alley was a devout, peace loving and kind old lady. The funeral services are announced to take place at the M. E. church in this city at 2 o'clock p.m. tomorrow (Saturday) and will be in charge of the pastor, Rev. W. T. Ward.
