END WAS PEACEFUL

At 2:lo this morning Judge Nugent
breathed his last. His death had been
anticipated for some time. His two
sons were at his bedside to bid him
goodbye. His remains viii be taken to
his old home at Stephenville Sunday
for burial.
Judge Nugent had suffered with dia-
betes a long time. but not until tho
last few days was II recognized that
death was so near. Ten days ago he
thought that with perfect rest and
quiet for n few months he would be
restored TO health and strength An
day yesterday and far into the night
carriages were driving up to his gate
and friends were solicitously inquiring
as to his condition.
Thomas l.. Nugent was born of re-
hpected parents at opelousas. la.. July
10, 1871, and was consequently 81 years
of age at the time of his last birthday.
He acquired the rudiments OF an edu-
cation In the common schools of the
period. Afterward he entered Gem
tenary college at Jackson. La. where
he graduated In 1861. The following
year he came TO Texas, locating at
Austin. There he taught school for a
livelihood ana devoted his leisure mo-
ments to reading law. In which he soon
htted himself for practice. He went to
Meridian to open his first law Office.
and frsn there he moved to Stephen
VILE In 1871.
Judge Nugent's first political hcrors
OF note were won when lie vas elected
to the constitutional convention of 1876.
In which body he distinguished him
self az an earnest worker and thought-
fui law maker. In 1870 Gov..nor Rob-
erts appointed him district fudge, to
which place he was Afterwards elected
twice without opposition. He resigned
In lsSs and engaged in the practise of
his profession at FL Paso. 'yhere he
soon had large business. hut was
compelled to leave on account Of his
health. He returned to stephcnViile
and resided there until ne moved to
Fort Worth In 1892.
The year he came to this city he
was nominated for governor by the
populist party, and he received the
same honor again In 1894. In the first
race he received over 100000 votes and
In the second about 10000 votes were
cast for him.
Judge Nugent was twice married.
his last and s,lll living wife having
been Mrs. C. C. Earle of ST. Louis.
whom he married about ten years ago.
