Word was received in Muncie yester­day of the death of Noah Bird, who died yesterday morning in Covington, Ky., of dropsy, the deceased being about fifty years of age.

For thirty-four years Mr. Bird had been employed by the Hemingray Glass company, having come to Muncie with the factory several years ago from Cov­ington. His family has since resided here, and no more popular man work­ed in a glass factory in Muncie, than did Noah.

Last night Local union No. 23,. A. F G. W. U., of which the deceased was an active member, held a meeting and appointed the following committee to go to Covington today to represent the local and take charge of the remains for burial in that city on Sunday: John Butler, Thomas Murray, Thomas Harrold, Peter Concannon, George Matheson and Michael Carey. These men will act as pallbearers, all being asso­ciate workmen for years. The deceased resided at the corner of Eighth and Shipley streets.
