BREATHED HIS LAST.
WITHOUT A PANG OF SUFFERING POOR
LAMBORN PASSES TIE H
OTHER SHORE.
At 1880 yesterday afternoon Cyrus
w. Lamborn ceased to live. His death
as related in yesterdays Gazette was
not unexpected. Indeed from the mo-
ment the experienced eye of DIR. Adams
fell on his unfortunate patient, he knew
there was no hope. 1t is surmised that
the pommel of the saddle struck his
chest, as the horse fell upon him, rup-
turing the pulmonary arteries and
causing hemorrhage of the lungs. A
blood-clot had also formed in the right
side OF the brain, completely paralyz-
ing the opposite side. DR.. Adams knew
that he was doomed but he staid faith
fully to the end, administering perio-
dical hypodermic injections of bella
donna and whisky as a stimulant. He
died p%ainlessly. So terrible were his
injuries that all consciousness departed
simultaneously with the fall.
His body has been embalmed and
will lie in the Knights of Pythias hall,
of which order he was an honOred
member, from IL to $3.50 p. m, to-day,
to be taken thence for shipment to his
heart-broken parents in Lexington,
| Mo. They were notified by wire OF
| the sad event In a little while after it
had occurred.
The deceased was twenty-eight years
of age and had been q resident of Fort
| Worth since February, 1873. coming
to this city in its infancy from Lexing-
ton, Mo. He began his business career
here as collector for the bank of It'd
ball, VanZandt & Co, and by industry
and close application gradually rose
until at the time of his death he had
attained an enviable reputation fol
business sagacity and was a trusted
employe of the Fort Worth Nationa
Bank, the same institution with which
he began-afterward converted into
national bank. He was an active mem
Der and officer Of Queen City Lodge
Knights OF Pythias, vice. president OF
the Commercial club, which he wa
mainly instrumental in organizing, and
an honored member of society. Ii
every department of life he will b.
sadly missed.
"Cy" Lamborn is dead. The worll
is poorer than it Was yesterday. In tn
flush of vigorous manhood, i'm tn,
tension OF excitement, in the momen
of pleasure the life cord snapped, thu
engine stopped, tho drive wheel CAV
one throb, then silence-death.
Words are not needed to exalt tn
virtues which all who knew him fel
and loved.
He was a generous The tai
of sorrow never found a more symps
thizing listener, a friend of the strang
er and the frlendless, q free contribute
to every worthy cause.
He was a charitable man, charity j
3 it's noblest and its sweetest sense. TT
faults of others beneath his gent
touch almost to virtues grew. Gossl
and SANDER to him we're hideous thing
and never crossed the threshold of h
noble mind. Ever ready to prais
n where praise could not be given
9 mantled the word or action in the fol-
# of charity and burned ITS memory in
q ashes with the sweet incense of a kin
n ly heart.
He was a thoughtful man. Care ear
caught hum in her iron grasp, and br'
e into his heart the rugged lesson of e
perience. He was a man beyond |
u years. The impetuosity and Joyou
, ness of youth were buried in the ca
of serious manhood.
1T He was an honest man.. Truth bio
:, somed in his heart and filled his Ii
u with fragrance. Not only did he ma
y 1t the Rtanaard for other men, but
u himself did he exact it with a rig
l, measure. Had a dishonest word escap
NJ his lips or a dishonest action tainted
life, his self-respect must then ha
H. been forever lost.
d He was a useful man. The world
