BORDER
His Life Saddered and His Death
Hastened by Wayward
Daughter

turned from Europe last Wednesday.

two ago, transferred to private sani-
tarium from Bellevue hospital. Owing to
the pleading of his wife, who had become
reconciled to her daughter. General Ord

the prodigal and a reunion of the family
in Washington was arranged. General
Ordway's death is attributed by the at
tending physician to jaundce and pleu-
rsy, which developed from cold con-
tracted in Paris.
