CAPT. KNOX'S DEATH.
He Passes Away Surrounded by His
Family,

The death of Police Commissioner
George G.. Knox took place yesterday
afternoon shortly after o'clock. 1t
was not expected that he would recover
from the early part of his illness. The
best medical advice in the city was sum-
moned to his assistance, and it was de-
cided that the only chance for his life
was by the performance Of surgical
operation, After this had been success
fully performed Captain Knox rallied
and it was hoped that he might recover,
although the physicians did not think
there was much chance. He died
peacefully yesterday afternoon sur
rounded by his family.
George Crockett Knox was born in
Nashville, Tenn, on May %, 1841, and
was educated by his mother until
years of age, when he attended the
high school at that city. He graduated
at the University OF Tennessee, at the
age of 16, and at once entered into the
study Impractical engineering, spending
several months in the shops of the
Tennessee and Alabama Railroad Com
pany. At the age of 18, however, he
went into the commission business at
New Orleans, remaining there until the
war broke out in 1861, when he joined
the Crescent rifles. His health became
seriously impaired after an attack. OF
malaria contracted ON the peninsula,
and he was several times during the
war compelled to return home
on furlough. He returned to the
front, however, and at the close of the
war was member of General Fagan's s
staff. In 1865 he went to Memphis and
o,,ro~oJ -, tho ,,,aroon 10 h,1c n acc for q
short time, but he was compelled through
sickness to retire to his uncle's planta-
ton in September, 1866, where he re-
mained for about three years. In 1869
he came out to California, and on ar
rival at San Francisco started business
as a civil engineer. Being unsuccessful,
however, he left San Francisco and set
tied at Anaheim, where he resided until
1880, when he came to Los Angeles.
During his residence at Anaheim, he
edited the Anaheim Gazette for several
years; and in 1874 he married the
daughter of Mr.. A. Langenberger, a we'll
known resident of that place, by whom
he has had five children, four of whom
are boys. Captain Knox became a
Mason in 1876, and is past master OF
Plentalpha lodge, No. 202; past high
priest Of the Sigma chapter; past thrice
illustrious master of the Los Angeles
council II of the r. and S. M; grand
conductor of the work of the Council R.
and S. M. of California; member of
the Occur de Lion commandery and in
spector of the r. A. M. d.. he was also
a member of A. O. U. w. lodge 191.
His funeral will take place tomorrow
at 2 O'Clock from his residence. Rev.
w. G. Chichester will conduct the SER
vice, which will be in charge of Pental-
pha lodge. The members OF Occur de

The Pomona Club Defeats the
Home Team.
Captain George G. KnOx's Death
Yesterday Afternoon.
He Passes Away Surrounded by His
Family.
A Medal Shoot-Other Items of More Than
Ordinary Interest Gathered
on the Streets.

Yesterday afternoon the last game OF
the series for the championship of
Southern California was played at the
Athletic park in the presence of about
three hundred spectators, and resulted
in victory for the Pomona ball players
with a score of to 2. The visitors
treated the home team to genuine sur
prise all around yesterday, and played
in much superior style to that exhib-
tied by them in any former game.
Strong and Graves constituted their bat
terry. Strong pitched an excellent game.
only three hits being made off his deliv-
cry he was much better supported than
on former occasions, Graves doing some
sterling work behind the sticks, nine
put-outs being credited to him at the
close OF the game. In the field the Pomo-
mas gathered in everything, and showed
themselves in their true light, but one
error being made, for which pitcher
Strong was responsible. Taylor, Graves
and Martin carried off the honors with
the bat.
Pier and Woolley were in the points
for the AngelefIos for the first half of the
game, but the former was very wild at
times and only managed to strike out
one man, while four were sent to first
base on "balls'' by him. Woolley, Ross,
Youngworth and Lelande made costly
errors, and after the Pomonas had piled
up six runs in their third innings, the
battery was changed by the substitution
of Ross and Lelande, and the combined
efforts of the visitors only added one
more tally to their score after that.
Neither pitcher was up to his usual
standard for some reason, and the local
boys were unable to get under Strong's
curves and redeem themselves with the
bat. Woolley managed to secure a
double, and Hartley and Ross each made
a single, but this was the sum total OF
the home clubs efforts. Taken as a
whole the home team put up an inferior
game to that of their opponents, and
their defeat is due to the fact that they
ran too many risks at the most critical
point of the game. The score:
