 His death had been anticipated for
 the past Sen days OF more and st one time it was thought he could last but 8 few hours but his hardy oonstitu- tion held him up for two weeks longer, 1 though one side wss psrslyzsd and he was barely conscious during that time. | His physicians discovered early that he was suffering from sn ebscess st the bass of the brain and subsequently, a ] sort of low fever, known ss mountain fever with typhoid symptoms, set h and it finally became only 8 matter of | time when the trouble would GETTY him of. The tims came last evening when he quietly and gently passed into that i silent, rassful slumber from which there is no more waking on earth.
 Chief Justice Truesdale received his eppoins to that high office June 26sh of this year and soon after entered upon the duties of his office, which he pur- sued with great energy for he was diIligent, energetic student and de- sermined to give the best of his ability to the office he occupied. The warm summer weather prevented active work in cours but he retired to the sea shore for time and devoted himself to the most earnest study. Returning at the close os the warm season he opened court immediately and finally went to Prescott to try a most importent min ing csse there in which the Judge of that district WAS incepscitsted. His opinion in that case, she only important one he rendered in the short time he was on She bsnoh, is said to be one of the ablest eveF given in the Territory.
