DEATH OF HON. OSCAR B. HORD.
lie Sinks Gradually. and After Thirty-Six
Hours of Inconsistencies Passes Away.

Hon. Oscar B. Hord died at his residence, No
300 West New York street, last night. at 10
o'clock. Since last Tuesday, when he was pros
trated at his office with apoplexy, his death has
been expected. but he seemed to rally on Wednes-
day and Thursday, and it was believed that there
was chance for his recovery. However. the
clot in his brain caused Inflammation. and on
Saturday he lost consciousness. He sank grad
ually, and dissolution was apparently painless
During the last thirty-six hours of his life he
did not revive sufficiently TO recognize those
around him.
Mr.. Hord was ffsy-eight years old. He was
born at Washington. KY. and was the Oldest of
three sons of Judge Francis T. Hord. He
studied law withlhis father, and in 1849 came
to Greensbure, Ind, to begin the practice of
law. Three years later he elected prose-
cutting attorney, and held the Office two terms.
He afterward became q partner OF Colonel
Calvin, and the two won for themselves an
enviable professional reputation by publishing
digest of the statutes OF the State. which was
at that time greatly needed. He continued in
the successful practice of law at Greensburg
until 1862, when he was elected Attorney-gen-
eral of Indiana on tho Democratic ticket and re-
moved to this city. He held the office only one
term, and after retiring from 1t he entered into
partnership with Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks,
to which the late Governor Baker and the re-
Gently deceased Maj. A. w. Hendricks were
admitted in later years. All Of the memb or
the firm have died within the last three years.
Mr.. Hord has been permanently identified
with the management OF Democratic campaigns
in Indiana and was ardent supporter OF Dir.
Hendricks, whenever he candidate, but
he has sought Office himself since retiring
from the position of Attorne y-generaL
Mr.. Hord was married to Miss Mamie Tnomp-
son, of Greensbure, soon after he located there,
but she died year or two later. In 1861 he was
married to Mas Mary j. Perkins, daughter of
Hon. Samuel e.. Perkins. The result of
this union was four sons, Elliott,
Henry t., Francis Z. and Ricketts,
Hord. The first named died about ten months
ago. The death of Mrs. Hord occurred IN 1874.
A fatal date in the family seems to have been
the 10Th of the month, for the deaths of Dir.
Hord. his wife and his each occurred on
that date.
Mr.. Hord WAS one OF the most prominent law
yers in the State, and Was generally recognized
one Of the hardest workers in the profession.
When he not at work in his Office. he was
usually in his library at home. and his fail
to take proper exercise is supposed to
have been the principal cause of the
sudden terrninacion of his lfe He was man
of agreeable social qualities. and had many
warm friends. His income from his practice
was very large. but he gave much in charitable
way. and seemed to care little for saving. He
leaves to his three surviving sons however,
very handsome estate.

A report has been circulated throughout the territory the past week that band of elght Indians, supposed to be from the San Carlos reservation, had fired upon J. c. Jones of Aravaips, who had been hit but not injured by q spent ball. Troops from Forts Grant, Lowell and HUachuca were immediately started in pursuit of the hostile party, but up to the time of going to press no further particulars have reached us. It has been reported that the author ities at San Carlos claim that there are no Indians from the Reservation missing. and upon this report theory is based that the party who fired upon Mir. Jones is the same which has been depre- dating in Mexico. being aremnant of Geronimo's band that escaped capture. This seems hardly probable, however, and 8 theory to our mind more probable, pro viding there Is 3 band out, is that it is small party of bucks dis satisfied with the action taken by the authorities at San Carlos iu relation to the recent killing, when considerable feeling was manifested by Q portion of the Apaches because Captain Pierce would not deliver Up to them tho murderer. Still another theory. and perhaps the most probable, is that q mistake has been made and there are no Indians out at all.

As the Democratic NationaI

As the Democratic National Convention is to be held on June 9th it bphooyes our Territorial Central Committee to be moving in the matter of holding q conyen- ton for the purpose of selecting delegates to represent us at that convention. 1t is true it IS some what early to make this sugges- ton, but such things had better not be left until the last moment. The following gentlemen com prise the Democratic Territorial Central Committee:
 Apache-J. L. Hubbcll, Harris Baldwin. Cochise-L- W. BlInn, J.H. Teyis, James Coyle. Gila- W. ]. Holmes, ". A. Griffin Graham-Geo. IL. Stevens, B. E. Norton. Maricopa-B. Goodrich A. L. Henshaw, Il.

YaTa- pai - Morris Goldwater, J. c. Herndon. J. G. Campbell. Hon. P. J. Bolan is the chairman and Chas. Driscoll secretary of tho committee.
 The last territorial convention directed that the delegates to the national convention be chosen by a territorial convention to be called for that purpose, the dele gates to such convention to be chosen by the counties respectively Therefore it is only fair to presume that the delegates to the convention will be apportioned to the different counties on the basis of the vote cast for Marcus j Smith. Democratic candidate for delegate to Congress at the last general elcction- The vote of each county will be of interest, which was assfollows:
 Yavapai-Democratic 1194, Re publican 93S. Pinal-Dem. 4G9, Rep. 3SO. ATohave - Dem. 224 Rep. 292. Pima-Dem. S36, Rep 728. Maricopa-Dem. SG2, Rep. 677. Graham Dem. SIS. Rcp. 266. Gila-Dem. 299, Rep. 216 Cochise - Dem. 12OS, Rep. SIP Apache - Dem. 5S5, Rep. 325. Yuma-Dem. lG0, Rep 13S.
 Acting upon the presumption that the apportionment of dele gates will be based upon the vote cast for the head of tho ticket, and | that the basis will be QUO delegate | for every 100 votes and fraction exceeding 5e, inc representation would he as follows: Yayapai F, Pinal f, Mohave 2, Pima 9, Mari copa g, Graham 6, GIla 3, Cochise 12, Apache 6, Yuma 2, total G5.
