He was taken i'll. about two or three months ago and his disease (abcess of the liver) not readily yielding to ordinary treatment, he went to Tucson with the above re- suit. He was a pleasant gentleman. an industrious and enterprising man, and his death will be sincerely mourn ed by his many warm friends.
