Dougald MacDonald of Malignant cove, died suddenly last Saturday morning just after he had left home to come to Antigonish with one of his sons. When about half a mile from home he suddenly leaned over the dashboard of the pung in which they were riding as if he were watching for signs of interfering on the part of the horse. A moment later he fell out of the sleigh. He was carried into a house nearby, and died without regaining consciousness. Fortunately, Rev. D.J. Rankin, P.P. Arisaig was in the neighborhood and he arrived in time to administer the last rites. The deceased was about 57 years old, and had been afflicted with heart trouble since returning from British Columbia about five years ago. He is survived by his wife and nine children. Mrs. MacDonald, a son and two daughters who were in Massachusetts, arrived home Tuesday morning. Interment took place Tuesday afternoon in Georgeville
