csmrades could discern there was moi
dication of dangerous Illness, but it
| seems that the judge had Fremont
ton that his end was near. what rea-
sons he had for feeling the approach OF
death he did not explain. AT o'clock
SATURDAY. evening he walked across the
street from his room on Wabasha
street, and there he met friend, and in
converse he seemed rather melancholy.
II feel that this is the last time we
will meet in this Iife," he exclaimed to
his friend. But he was looking as
bright and IN as good health as usual,
and his friend was disposed to treat the
unhappy prediction lightly.
Il haven't seen you looking better in
months" was the pleasant reJolnder,
and then the conversation turned to
other themes.
Judge German shortly. after returned
to his apartments and complained of
feeling a depression. He asked all ac-
qua;ntance to summon DR.. Baker, who
has an office in the building. This was
done, and the doctor responded forth
with. DR.. Baker diagnosed the case,
but saw no alarming symptoms. He
advised rest, and a young man yolun-
teered to remain with the judge over
night, the doctor promising to call when
he came to his Office yesterday morning.
The young man thus left i'll chargesof
the case relates the story that Judge
German, soon after the doctor retired,
fell into what he supposed reStful
SIumber. Some time after midnight the
attendant himself fell asleep OH large
lounge. He awoke again at 1 O'Clock
and observed his patient, but the latter
was lying quietly, so he fell asleep
again, and lie was undisturbed until
