Word was received here yester- day morning of the death at Leth- hridge, Alberta, of Mr. Angus Mc- Lachlan, formerly a resident of the Durham Road, Glenelg, but for the past twelve or fifteen years living in the West. Mr. McLachlan was a brother of Mr. Donald McLachlan, whose fun- eral took lace from his home in Priceville ast week. Though no particulars were givn in the inform- ation, which came by letter from the West, it is surmised that the two brothers must have expired at about the same time, a week ago last Friday. Mr. McLachlan, who was about 35 years of age, was a bachelor and owned a ranch about twenty miles out from Lethhridge. and accord- ing to the news reaching here, was found dead in his home. apparently by neighbors. He was the youngest member of the McLachlan family. was well known in the Priceville vicinity. and his sudden and tragic end will be regretted by a wide cir- cle of former aequaintam-es in this vicinity.
