Hon. Nat Huntington, of Dayton,
johnson, county, ex-speaker of the house
of representatives of the tenth Legislative
assembly, died at the Inter Ocean hotel
in this city at noon yesterday of pneu-
monia.
Deceased belonged to an old and re-
spected Indiana family. He was born in
Vigo county, that state, about fifty-eight
years ago. Mr.. Huntington was a gradu-
ate of the law university of his native
state, and bid fair to become a member of
lndiana's bright circle of attorneys when
i'll health, coupled with a desire to explore
unknown fields, caused him to follow one
of the first tides of immigration which
flowed toward the West. He was an ar
gonaut and spentnearly forty years in the
West, alternating mining, practicing law,
farming and engaging in the live stock
business.
At his horse ranch in johnson county,
stocked upon his settlement in the terri
tory some six years since, are to be found
the finest horses in Wyoming. After
struggling with the world for more than
fifty years deceased was well on the road
to affiueucc when stricken down. Three
sons, two on the verge OF manhood. and a
loving wife mourn the loss Of the kind
father and dutiful husband.
Deceased was 4 man whom nature Gu
dowed with that blessed faculty of making
steadfast friends rapidly. No man who
ever visited Cheyenne has made such a
good impression in so short n time. Like
the true, open hearted pioneer that he
was, he had a pleasant word and a smile

arena, where he scored many n victory, he
never forgot that he was a man
