Death Of J. Fletcher Williams

st. Paul, May /. - Assemblyman
w. u. johnson received a telegram
from Rochester stating that j. Fletch-
er Williams, eX-secretary of the Min
nesota Historical society, had died
there. Mr.. johnson placed the direc-
ti0n of the funeral arrangements in
the hands of William Dampier, who
left for Rochester to bring the re-
mains home to St. Paul. The funeral
will be taken in charge by the Odd
Fellows.
. Mr.. Williams death resulted from
softening of the brain, brought on by
too close application to books and to
his work as secretary of the Minneso-
ia Historical society. He was always
devoted student, and, after working
hard over the books in the rooms Of
the society, would go home and
study far into the night. The strain
finally proved too much and he gave
way. He spent the winter of 1923
In California in search of health, but
came back without having been bene-
flted. He grew rapidly worse, until
last December, when w. r. johnson
was appointed his guardian, and he
was sent to O sanitarium in Milwau-
kee. A few weeks ago it became ap-
parent that nothing could be done for
him there, and he was brought to
Rochester, where he died this morn
ing. He leaves a wife and four chill
dren, one daughter, living with her

Marshal Cronan received q telegram
from Deputy SCHNEIDER stating that
800 hostile half-breeds had assembled
Mt Largan's and were preparing to
resist. He also stated that the citi-

what should be done. A reply was
received from the attorney general
which stated that not until an effort
had been made to arrest the offenders
by a sufficient force of deputies and
had failed would the department con-

cumstances. Mr.. Cronan said he
would take force of deputies to the
mountains and make another effort
to capture the men who have been in
