THOMAS IS NO MORE.
Wounded Musician BreathsS His Last
Early This Morning,
AT THE FORT DOUGLAS HOSPITAL.
Breaking Of the News to Mrs Thdiss
Throws Her Into Hysterics--will
Answer For Murder.

Sam Thomas Ia dead. The man who
wss shot by his wife in State street
bagnio on Tuesday evening brestheu
his last at one o'clock this morning.
His death occurred at the poet hospi-
tal, where he was being attended by
Major Glrard, physician for the
Twenty-four infantry, OF which
Thomas was a member. Death was
the direct result OF the gunshot wound
which pierced the mans lung and
brought on hemorrhags and blood
poisoning. Too end came at time
when the wounded man was supposed
to have been improving, although
certain parties were Of the opinion that
he would never recover, the loss OF
blood having been 80 great at the time
OF the shooting.
When the news OF her husbands
death was broken to Mrs. Thomas at
the county jail this morDing the
woman went into Mysteries as she was
hopeful all the while Of her busbaDd'e
speedy recovery. Besides, this sudden
change in the case altered Mrs.
Thomas's position very materially In
that 1t neceseitated the filing OF an
Information against her for murder,
despite the fact that two days before,
the charge preferred against her was
one OF assault with intent to kill. Mrs.
Thomas will be arraigDei on the more
serious charge in day or so-iust rs
soon as the present condition OF az
iaifs will permit.
The funeral arrangements have not
been made yet but In all probability
the remains OF the dead musician Will
be laid to rest on Sunday.
