CHICAGO, March 22.-General George
Crook died suddenly in his parlor at the
Grand Pacific Hotel shortly after seven
o'clock Friday morning, but the officials
we're so paralyzed by the unexpected
event and occupied in ministering to the
stricken widow that it was aearly two
hours later before word was sent K
army headquarters or the news became
current on the streets. The General oc
cupied box at the Columbia Theatei
Thursday night and witnessed Mr.
Mansfield's portrayal Of the dual role OF
DR.. Jokyll and Mr.. Hyde. He returned
to the hotel shortly after eleven O'Clock
and retired apparently in the best OF
health. His suit comprised a parlor and
two sleeping rooms on the third floor
the third room being occupied by Mrs
Reed, of Oakland, Md, q sister to Mrs
Crook, and who has been visiting then
this winter. General Crook arose about
$3.50 yesterday morning and after par
TALLY dressing himself, entered the par
lor where, as was his won't, he com
menced to exercise with dumb bells.
About fifteon minutes later his wife,
who was in the adjoining room, heard
him call in faint voice MARY! MaryN
Upon responding, she found him reclin
ing upon the sofa and evidently in pain.
His hands wcre pressed over his heart
and he was barely able to articulat
"Mary, l can hardly BREATHE" Greatly
alarmed, Mrs. Crook rung for assistance
and messengers were dispatched for DR.
Hurlbut, whose office is about bloch
away. The physician quickly responded
and everything possible was done, but
he failed to rally and died at 7:15 o'clock
Mrs. Crook and her sister, Mrs. Reid
were tho only members of the family
present at his bedside when he passed
away. He had no children. Death re
suited from an affection Of the heart
For some weeks, in fact ever since ht
returned from his last trip to the North
west, he has been complaining of bear
ing down sensation in the neighborhood
of the heart.
The funeral will take place either al
Washington or Oakland, Md. General
Crook did not consider it necessary te
consult physician. A few weeks age
he went on a trip through the Indiar
Territory accompanied by General
Strong and other officers, and on his re-
turn he frequently complained to mem
bers of his staff that his heart troubled
him.
General Crook was born near Dayton,
o., September s, 1923. He graduated al
the United States Military Academy ir
1859 and was on duty with the Fourth
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1890-03-29

GENERAL CROOK. ming of the Civil
War he returned to abe east and became
Colonel of the Thirty-sixth Ohio in
fantry. In 1862 he was wounded at Lew
isburg, w. Va. For his services at An.
tietam he was brevetted Lieutenant
Colonel. He was actively engaged in
several campaigns during the war and
took part in Sheridan's Shenandoah
campaign, receiving the brevets of Brig
adler General and Major General on
March 13, 1865. He was mustered out Of
the volunteer service January 10, 1856.
July 2S he was commissioned Lieuten.
ant Colonel of the Twenty-third infantry
and assigned to the district of Boise,
Idaho, where he remained until 1872,
actively engaged in Indian campaigns.
In 1872 he was assigned to the Arizona
district, where he quelled serious Indian
disturbances. In 1875 he was sent to
Wyoming, where, at Powder river, he
defeated the unruly Sioux and Chey'
ennes. He continued his campaign in
the Northwest with relentless vigor un.
til, in MAJ, 1877, all the hostile tribes
had yielded. In 1882 General Crook re.
turned to Arizona, where he forced
squatters to vacate the Indian lands. In
the following year when the Chiricahuas
went on a raid, he pursued them and
made 400 prisoners. During the two
years following no depreda tions oc.
CURED, but in the spring of 1886 the In
dians under Geronimo again went on the
war path. Crook pursued them and
forced their surrender under conditions.
The President declined to ratify his
action and General Sheridan tele.
graphed him that the only condition
that could be made with Geronimo's
baud was that their lives would be
spared. In the meantime Geronimo and
some of his men escaped, and Sheridan
having criticised his campaign severely,
Crook asked to be relieved from the
command OF the Department of Arizona
He was relieved and General Miles wa,
sent to take his place. Shortly after
Geronimo and his band surrendered and
were taken to Florida, where they now
are.
When relieved of the command of the
Department of the Platte, in 1883, on
tho retirement of General Terry, he was
made Major General and sent to Chi
cago in command Of the Division Of the
Missouri.

General Crook, and who will probably
succeed him as Major General, is Briga.
