A Steelton Woman Bursts A Blood
Vessel When Frightened By Dogs
____________________

Mrs. Andrew Yost, a resident of South Second Street, Steelton, died very suddenly on Wednesday under peculiar circumstances. She had been visiting her daughter in the lower end of Steelton, and as she was walking to a car several large dogs sprang at her. Mrs. Yost became greatly frightened and as one of the dogs made at her, fell half fainting on a step.
Neighbors picked her up and she was taken to her daughter's home, where she had several hemorrhages from the nose and mouth and died in about ten minutes. A physician says death was due to the bursting of a blood vessel caused by the violent fright given her by the dogs. Mrs. Yost was a large woman and was about sixty years of age. She will be buried tomorrow from her late home.
