Judge Bailey Dead

  The unexpected death of Hon. John M. Bailey, president judge of the 
Huntingdon, Mifflin and Bedford judicial district was announced Monday 
morning and caused not only surprise but profound and universal regret 
in the community. Although it was known that Judge Bailey's impaired 
health had unfitted for him close attention to his official duties, yet 
he was seen daily by his neighbors about his residence and office and 
sometimes upon the streets, and the suddenly fatal termination of his 
disease was wholly unlooked for. He was not more ill last evening than 
he had been for several days and his physician, who called to see him, 
left him in the night with the impression that his condition had 
improved.  About 2 o'clock the judge went into his bath room and was 
soon heard by Mrs. Bailey to fall heavily to the floor.  She went to 
his assistance and called for other help, but before further aid could 
come to her or to him the spark of life had fled and the honorable and 
useful career of the lawyer and jurist was ended.
