I.E. ALBRIGHT DIED TODAY
The appalling news of the sudden death of A.E. Albright which occurred at the commercial hotel in Sturgis about 1 o'clock today, was received by the Call today, and will fall upon the hearts of the people of this city and the Black Hills like dark clouds, filling every home with terror and grief. The cause of his sudden demise is said to be bowel trouble, from which he has been a sufferer for years and the end came without warning.
Mr. Albright leaves a wife and one child about two years of age to mourn his loss and the Call hastens to extend the deepest sympathy of the entire community to her in her sad hour of affliction.
He was about 44 years of age and was a member of the A.O.U.W. in good standing. Deceased was a man whom everyone liked and respected and numbered his friends by the score.
For nearly seven years he has been in the employ of S.R. Smith, here and at Deadwood, as piano tuner, and was always found to be a man possessing the highest and rarest qualities of manhood and honor.
As a musician and tuner he had few equals anywhere, possessing as he did rare ability and pronounced talent.
Mr. Albright was a man who never betrayed a trust, was always genial and jovial, possessing that good natured, open hearted friendliness that makes and holds friends.
S.R. Smith went down to Sturgis after the remains and will bring them to this place where the burial will be made under the auspices of the order to which he belonged.

Last Sad Rites.
The funeral of the late I.E. Albright occurred from the Episcopal church this afternoon at 2 o'clock, and was attended by one of the largest gatherings of friends and sympathizers of the deceased and his brokenhearted wife and child that has been witnessed in the city for some time.
The services were conducted by Rev. Archdeacon Ware, and the funeral arrangements were under the auspices of Hope Lodge No. 50 A.O.U.W. of Lead, of which he was a member in good standing. Interment was made in South Lead cemetery, when all that was mortal of a true man, a staunch friend and an upright, honorable citizen whose friends were limited only by his acquaintace, was consigned to the last resting place by the tender hands of those with whom he had lived and walked in the sacred bonds of brotherhood while living.
C.C. Leveque, a brother-in-law of Mrs. Albright from Randolph, Neb., was present, and a brother of the deceased was expected to be present from Pawnee City, though our reporter did not learn authentically as to whether he was present or not.

John Albright, who came here from Pawnee City, Neb., to attend the funeral of his brother, I.E. Albright, will return home on the B. & M. today. This is his first trip to the Hills and he expressed himself as being surprised to find such large and well built cities as we have here. The personal resemblance between Mr. Albright and his deceased brother, I.E. , is very marked, and to a person not aware of the death of the latter, they would easily be deceived as to the identity.
