  	"Cameron. News of the death in Calgary of Mr. Mac. Cameron was received here on Monday morning by his father Mr. Alex. Cameron. The announcement of his death came as a sudden blow to his family for it was not known that he was ill. Mac. died on Saturday of heart failure being in the Calgary hospital only twenty four hours. Mac. Cameron was a native of Perth, son of Mr. and Mrs Alex. Cameron, Harvey Street. Hew grew up in town, and in time came to be expressman for Mr. Seeley, for whom he worked a number of years. Giving up this position, he secured a run as express manager in the west. Mac was a general favorite with all and was a splendid entertainer. He grew up with the old Crescent lacrosse club and gained the reputation of being one of the best goal and defense players in Eastern Ontario. There is sincere regret here for his early demise and sympathy for his parents. Interment was made in Calgary cemetery. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Cameron, of Perth, two brothers, James, of Hot Springs, Ark; Alex. at home, and two sisters Mrs. A. C. Miller, Brockville; and Miss Lillie, at home, survive.
