Death of u. A. Thomas.

Dexter A. Thomas of North Hinsdale
died Monday evening after an illness of
about seven weeks, aged 81 years and five
months. The cause of his death was au-
tumnal fever, with malaria and gastric
complications. About 4 week before his
illness he fell, while carrying heavy stick
of timber, and it is thought this may have
been Il factor in his subsequent illness and
death. He was young man possessed of
many estmable qualities. Industrious in
his habits and of a genial disposition, he
made many friends. lie was a great
reader and in that way acquired much use
full knowledge. He was the only son of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Thomas. He was
married last June to Alta Martin, only
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Joel Martin.
Besides his parents and young wife he is
survived by three sisters, Mrs. VIM. Royce,
who lives in this village, and two unmar-
ried sisters, who live at the home of their
father i'll North Hinsdale. The friends
have the sympathy of the entire commu-
nifty in what seems his especially sad and
untrnely death. Funeral services were
held Thursday afternoon at the home of
Joel Martin, where he died.

early Sunday morning at the corner of
Madison avenue and Forty-eighth street,

water shot into the air to the height of an
electric light pole. The water was not stop
ped for five hours. The most serious dam
age was done to the railroad branch of the

the latter place being estimated at $4,000.

 Mir. John Martin who ia well known n Cochise county was in town yes- terdsy having just came !rom Fron- ter.s where he has been on cattle business and was cugnizant of the facts of tho supposed srrest and detention of the three men whic.i furnished food for come imaginary correspondent to pee broadcast as the capture o. tho Black Jack bandits. Mir. Martin said to PRosP. cToR reporter that the three men, who were Americans, were at Fronte as and had created consider able disturbance but that the Mexican ofScals warned them to leave at once or sufT T arrest sad imprisonment. The advic- did not fall on deaf ears and the Americans immediately left. The party were net any of the Black Jack band but from what he could learn from sdvices received by the Mexican officials, after the thrse had left, were no doubt the same implica.- ed in the Grant robbery for the de- scriptiens received tsllied very closely and it was known that each had con- money.
 It was reported as MT. Aartia left tha, the Mexican officials acting upon from U. 5. fiicers, took up the trail and are now in pursuit Of the parties wanted, who but . day or two before were in their clutches.
