This distressing news flashed over the
wires st late hour last evening and
created genuine sorrow wherever it was

milo had been i'll for several months, but
his recent visit here served to bring such
improvement in his condition that it was
thought lac would recover His disease
was complication Of liver troubles.
While here a few weeks ago his friends
urged him not to 20 to OjO Caliente, as
no physician is near at hand there, but to
take quarters at St. Vincent's sanltarlum.
This however, he declined to acCede to,
say ing he preferred to I've as near his
family as possible, and he thought the
mineral waters at the springs would sui
fee to cure him. Ten days ago Mr.. lara
milo left for Oo Caiente and at first his
improvement was marked, but after few
DAYS his condition again became alarming.
On Monday there was no change for the
better and his brother, j. NJ. Jaramllo,
was sent post haste to Santa Fe for a
physician he arrived last evening and a
few minutes later telegram came from
Barranca station saying Mr.. Jaramillo was

fashion. Mr.. Jaramlo is a native OF New

Santa Fe, and by his tact and business
enterprise ne early in life laid the tounda-
ton for large fortune which he now
leaves to his wife and three children. Mrs.
