UNTIMELY END.

"In the Midst of Life We are In Death"
Yesterday morning about ii O'Clock, Colo
mel X. Richardson, gentleman stopping at
the St. Leonard hotel, met with sad and I'M
timely ending. Colo mel Richardson had Just
come to this city from Cotulla, with view to
get medical treatment, he having suffered for
some time with his throat and lungs, but on
Saturday he seemed to be improving, and
went to see the polo at the springs. On Sun
day morning he was lively and talked in
a cheerful manner to all his friends, by whom
he was much respected. At 9 o'clock he was
sitting outside the ST. Leonard talking, when
he suddenly fel queer, and said he would 20
to the doctors. He arose and went to DIR.
Burnham's Office at the back OF DR.. Lehman S
Office. Just as he placed his foot on the top
step he was seen to stagger and fall. He was
taken into the Office and every means was
tried to restore life, but to no purpose every
attemptwas useless, and the doctors pronounced
e him dead, from Aemorrhage of the lures.
The funeral took place last night. when many
OF his friends were present. Colone K chard-
500 has only one relative, a nephew, Frank
Richardson by name He is not in Texas, anc
his address is unknown.
