might conduce to his comfort, so that
he might move around more quickly
There never was point of danger in
these Western campaigns that he did
not place himself in, so that a good
example would be set for the army.
l think the campaign of 1876 was the
foundation of his trouble. Then he
started out with thirty days ratlons
for his force, and was gone nearly a
year, spending terrible severe win
ter in the mountains and on the wes-
tern prairies, far away from the forts
and posts. This hard service, togeth-
er with the irregularity of meals and
the scarcity of food, resulted in his
stomach troubles, which Immediate
ly affected his heart. / had treated
him every day since have been at
tached to headquarters IN Chicago,
and a few weeks ago l had about.con-
cluded that his trouble had been over
come. Last week, however, it return
ed suddenly. The attack was quite
severe, but as he came to me the mo-
ment he felt i'll there was little diff.
Guilty in getting him in good shape
again. If his death had occurred last
week I should not have been surpris-
ed. He pulled out of the sickness
apparently better than pefore, and
his sudden death was wholly unex-
pected by me-"
DIR. V. L. Hurlbut, the physician
who was summoned, said II arriY-
ed at General Crooks bedside only
four or five minutes before death
supervened. He was suffering from
Irregular action of the heart, and his
lungs seemed to be filled up. We did
what we could for him in the way of
hot applications with sinapisms, hot
bags to his feet, etc.; but he was in
GTttculo morris when I arrived, and
died without rallying. 1t appeared
to be a case of heart failure; but
could not be positive about that as I
had never been called to attend him
before. There may have been some
stomachic complications"
Major Randall. of General Crooks
staff. said 1--WE have noticed for
some time that General Crook was
not in his usual health. He was a
man who never complained. and said
very little about his sufferings. At
the theatre last night I saw that he
was not feeling at all well. and asked
him if he were In pain. He said !:
NO. but think that was the
beginning of the end"
THE BURIAL.
Major General George Crook,
U S. A., was buried in the Odd-Fel-
lows Cemetery, on Monday. The
arrangements for the funeral had
been made by Mr.. d. E. Offutt. of
Oakland. who for many years had
been an intimate friend of Gen. and
Mrs. Crook. The trains arriving
from both east and west were crowd
ed with persons who came to pay the
last tribute of respect to the dead
General. The procession which ac-
complained the remains to the ceme-
terry was the largest ever seen at a
funeral here. Gen. Crooks wife was
Miss Mary T. Daley, daughter of
the late John Daley, of Glades Hotel
fame. Since the war they have u.s.
ually spent their vacation at the
Glades. and he was therefore we'll
known to the people here. Being
very popular in the community, the
news of his sudden death produced
general sorrow. During his last visit
TO Oakland he expressed his inten.
ton of building residence here, and
upon his retirement from active mill
tary life to spend his declining years
in the mountains among the people
for whom he always expressed a
warm friendship. Mrs, Crook, who
survives the General and her sister,
Mrs. Read, are the only survivors of
the Daily family. Their father,
mother and brother James died at
Oakland within a few years.
