Judge jackson had been in failing
health for the past few years, but 1t
has only been in the past few months
That the disease began to cause his family
and friends uneasiness. Last year he
went on lengthy trip to the far West in
search of health. Later he went to
1homasville, Ca, where it was hoped
the mild and braoing climate would re-
store his old-time vigorous constitution.

time he was brought home. AT his old
home Judge Jackson seemed to improve
steadily until he went ID Washington to
sit IN the second hearing OF the income

fairly we'll, and after his return home ap-
peared to lose strength rapidly.
The fact is, he was afflicted with a COM
plication of diseases, against which it was
virtually impossible to struggle. Never
theless, Judge Jackson did not take to
his bed until last Wednesday. Since that
time his ialnily anu friends realized that
