q. y. Marshal Kelly Falls - victim
of Heart Disease.

u. S. Marshal Thomas X. Kelly died
suddenly about 1901 to-day from an at
tack Of heart disease. He was in his
office in the Odd Fellows building until
after ii o'clock with his nephew, James
Moore, making out his quarterly state
ment. He complained OF feeling faint
aud said he believed he would go home.
His nephew proposed to go home with
him, but Mr.. Kelly requested him to re-
main and finish making out the state
ment remarking that he did not appre-
bend there was anything serious in the
attack.
When Mr.. Kelly had proceeded as far
as Sutton avenue, on North q street, on
his way home he felt that he was grow
ing weaker, and hailing a passing vehicle
was driven to his house on A street,
north OF Carson. After reaching there
| he complained Of a terrible pain in the
| region Of the heart, and John Flood, who
was with him, summoned DIR. Weber.
The Doctor administered some medicine
and departed, but Just as be did so Mr..
Kelly remarked to Flood, Il don't
know what my poor children will do
and Strengthening out his limbs was dead
before MIR. Flood brought back DIR.
Weber, whom he stopped a short dis
lance from kelly's residence.

When the heart of Thomas 4. Kelly
ceased to beat, the life OF as noble a man
as ever lived in our midst ended. He
was a good husband, a kind father, q de-
voted friend and worthy citizen. There
is no position he ever held he did not
worthily fill. Ass miner. he worked

He leaves behind the memory OF al
active life, kind, considerate and faith
