the early part of the evening, but
Before the Fight
began it had changed considerably, and
there were many dangerous, draughts
whizzing through the big pine building.
The squire handled the ice and bottles
in the corner, and made himself gener-
ally useful.
After the defeated pugiIist had been
escorted back TO the hotel the entire
party went out for lark, and general
round OF dissipation was begun,in which
Jim Hall and the squire played the
leading parts. and which did not end
until the squire broke down and had to
90 to bed. His illness at first VAS not
considered TO be of a serious nature, and
was regarded as a cold resulting from
dissipation. However. physician was
called, and the sick man WAS given
every possible attention. He himself
did not believe that he was very badly
of, and he was so confident that he
would be up in day or two and able 70
20 East that ne insisted that Mitchell
should start on ahead of him for New
York, the Western trip with Bat Mas
tersOu having been abandoned. Mitch
ell left with Hall, and the squire eX-
pected to meet him IN time TO sail on

the dead body of the squire and
His SOrrOWing Friends
1t was not until a dispatch came here
from Buffalo to the effect that Mitchell
had received word that the squire was
dying that any faith was placed in the
rumOrs current on the streets yesterday
evening that the squire was at the point
of death. DR.. Fitch had originally been
called in, but when he continued TO
grow worse. DR.. Miles, the distinguished
surgeon and physician of the charity
hospital. was summoned for c0nsulta-.
ton. At that time the squire was deliri-
Gus and violent, and had to have with
him constantly some one to prevent him
doing himself violence. After the con-
sutatiOn a telegram was sent to the
East that the sick man was suffering
from pneumonia, and that his recovery,
despite his splendid constitution, was
regarded as improbable. He had dis
Sipated so much in the past fortnight
that his physical vlgOr had been i'm
paired and the disease made rapid in
roads upon him. During all his illness
his secretary, Teddy Bailey, and his
valet, William Monk, remained con-
stantly with him, and he was given
every attention that money could pro-
cure IN tie matter of trained nurses and
scientific care. During the night the
condition of the patient continued to
grow worse, and, despite the
T-nremItting Attention
of the physician and the nurses, he was
so tar gone when daylight broke that
his death became only question of
few hours. Sinking slowly. his death
finally occurred al S O'Clock. He had
been Ill but a week.
Last night Charley Mitchell tele-
graphed here that he would come back
at once to the side of the squire, and
would reach here Monday morning. He
was then at Buffalo. and this morning
ne was i'll New York. The squire was
not yet cold when a wire message was
sent on to Mitchell, announcing the
death-Of his friend and the useiessneSs
Of his proposed journey South. Mes
SageS we've at once sent TO friends in the
East and cablegrams to the family in
England, consisting of mother, sister
and cousin. Replies were received from
over the water, placing all arrange
ments in the hands of Secretary
Bailey, who with Mr.. Fitch as guide
started fOrth at once 10 carry out the
wishes of the family of the dead man.
Undertaken johnson was sent for, and
at $3.50 O'Clock a van drove up to the
hotel and the body was removed to the
funeral directors, where it is now being
embalmed. Bailey secured transporta-
ton for himself and the valet and the
body over the Piedmont Air line, and
Left With the Remains
for New York this evening. The Ma
jestic sails on "Wednesday, and he has
secured berthS on that vessel for him
self and Monk, and will take the re-
mains with him to the beautiful home
of the squire in Cambridge. Mitchell
is expected to remain in New York
until the party reaches there, and to go
back to the Old country with Monk and
Bailey.
The squire was only thirty-oDe years
of age, but was a millionaire in Eng
and, which means that he was worth
more than 100000 This was the first
time he had ever been in America, and
he was so delighted with the country
that he declared he would return later
in the year with Mitchell and do gen.
eral tour before the big fight in Deem
Der. His estates in England are repre-
