DANIEL N. HUNSAk FIR.
An Eulogium Upon the Deceased Editor
 from His Former Home.

from His Former Home.
 From the san Diegan.
 Daniel x. Hunsaker, e younger and only brother of Hon. w. J. Hunsaker, died at the residence of the latter last night at eleven o'clock. The illness which carried him away was of short du- ration, and the announcement of his death will come as surprise and shock to his friends here, and to his associates and aged parents in Arizona, where he has been living the past several years. His death was the result of lingering fever contracted while at his home in Wilcox, A. T. He recovered somewhat from the fever, but did not grow strong, and two weeks since came to San Diego for the benefit of the sea air, which he and his friends hoped would entirely re- store him. The expected strength did not return, however, and he continued to grow worse until his death occurred, as stated, last night.
 The newer residents of San Diego may not know Dan Hunsaker, but the young men of the city who passed their earlier days here knew him and loved him, for as boy and man he possessed qualities which closely attached him to his friends. He came to San Diego with his father, mother, brother Will, and sister in 1869. He attended the public schools, and with Will, later took a course at the San Diego Academy, of which Miss s. M. Gum, now Mrs. Major Ut, was principal. As Sheriff, the father assumed an active position in the affairs of the county. Dan was an earnest and bright scholar, and by his aptness not only acquired learning from books, but became familiar with public affairs. While yet quite young he felt desire to work his way into the newspaper business, and as the best means thereto applied to the managers of the San Diego World-of which the Sun Diegan is the lineal descendant--for place to learn the trade of printer. While engaged in this work, however, symptoms of weak lungs began to mani fest themselves, and on the advice of physician and parents he left the city to obtain the benefits of the mountain air at Ballena.
 After a rest of several weeks he came back and later applied to Colonel Gum, who was then publisher of the Union, | for position on that paper. The place was obtained, and within few weeks he was promoted to the foremanship of | the office. Dan here tried his hand at writing, and subsequently, was fre- quently was given entire charge of the paper during the absence of the editor on business trips to San Francisco or elsewhere.
 In 1885 Dan left the paper to go to Arizona and join his father, who had and still has an extensive stock ranch in the Chiricahua mountains. He re- maned on the ranch for time, but the old inclination for newspaper work re- turned to him and he purchased the !SouthWes,ern Stockman, published at Wilcox, and has made that a most val uable and profitable property. Two months ago he was here on visit, and went back in his usual health, but soon caught cold, which in turn brought on fever that resulted in his death, as stated.
 At the time of his death he was B years of age.
 Those who were acquainted with him knew him to be modest, but manly and courageous, and had he been gifted with strong constitution there was no posi- tion to which he might not have at. tained. An instance of his courage was shown during the Apache raid in Ari- zona, when he mounted a horse and made his way through the Indian in. fested mountains alone to the assistance of his parents, arriving there twenty. four hours before the troops.
 The father and mother have been tele. graphed for and are expected to be here to attend the funeral, which will be held from the residence of Hon. w. J. Hun. saker on Sunday.
