William H. Allshouse fell dead in the court house at Hannibal, yesterday. He was on his way to the M. K. & T. round house to inspect his locomotive and was apparently in good health. With friends he discussed the incoming of President Roosevelt and other topics and then without premonition or warning toppled over and fell to the floor. He breathed for a minute or two after falling. The Hannibal Courier-Post of last evening contains the following additional particulars of the sad event and biographical sketch of the deceased: Coroner Clayton was notified, but on hearing the statements of the witnesses decided that the manner and cause of death were apparent and that an inquest would be unnecessary. W. H. Allshouse was perhaps the oldest engineman in the service of the Wabash. He was sixty-eight years old, but he had been in the service of the Wabash but a few years. He had begain his railroad career on the H. & St. Joe and remained with that company until the Burlington strike. He then accepted a position on the Short Line and remained with that road until he accepted the position on the Wabash, which he filled until his death. Some time ago he purchased a farm in Michigan and it was his intention to resign his position and live quietly the remainder of his days. Mrs. Allshouse has been in Michigan for some. Three sons are left to mourn the sudden death of a man who has been a good father. The elder, George, is an engineer on the Rock Island railroad in Nebraska; Harry F., is a traveling man and resides at Topeka, Kansas, while the younger son, Edward, resides here, and is employed in the office of the powder company at LaMotte and was notified by wire of the death of his father and returned to the city at noon. The other members of the family have been notified of the sad occurrence. The deceased was an excellent citizen who had many friends in Hannibal who sincerely mourn his death and who extend condolence to the members of the family in their great sorrow. The cause of death was evidently heart trouble of some kind. He had complained of more or less pain in the region of the heart and was feeling badly but a few moments before he entered the court house.
