AUGUR
Funeral OF JOhn Preston Johnston
Augur at Leavenw0rth.

LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, Jan. 12.-The
which takes place at West Point to- day,
will be attended by Gen. c. C. Augur,
father Of the deceased, who is In command
Of the department OF Missouri with head.
quarters at Fort Leavenworth. Young
Augur was quite wel.known here, and a
large number Of his friends and acquaint.
ances will observe the sad occasion here.
YOUNG AUGUR's DEATH
was due primarily to shock that his sys.
TEN received by sailing from the Arctic Sea
almost directly to the tropics. He recently
visited LeavenwOrth, and II was here that
his partially demented condition was first
observed by bis friends and family.
He dressed IN English cos.
tune, WAS very nervous and excitable, and
quick to resent anything that he inter-
preted rs an insult. While riding at Fort
Lcavenwortb, dressed in q ''dudish' cos
tune, a squad OF soldiers made sport
Of him. He rode into them - fast as his
horse could carry him, and lively
set. to followed, in which several persons
received bruises. The matter was settled
and qnieted.
AUGUR APOLIGIZED
afterwards and treated the soldiers hand
somely, and they repented having called
him dude.
Young Augur graduated from the
naval academy AZ Annapolis in 1870, and
had served as lieutenant In the Atlantic,
Artic, China and Msditerraueaulw waters, and
was watch officer on the United States
ship Alliance, which bruised about Iceland
and Spitzenbsrsen In 1881. 1t was from
there that he went directly 70 the tropics.
When the unsound condition Of bis mind
became evident he was induced to 20 tc
New York, and was fured into the asylum
In Bloomingds'e. His escape In terrible
storm and tragic death are supposed to have
been due. In measure at least, to the con
sciousnets which
SUDDENLY CAME OVER HIM.
that be was going mad. He had only beer
IN the asylum since Chyistnss. He was 81
years u Age.
