nj San Antonio, Tex. Where
He Had Gone In Search
of Health.

San Antonio, Tex, March 17.-7Jo-
seph Medill, editor of the Chicago
Tribune, died here Thursday, of heart
failure. He was conscious up to the
moment of death, which he met with
calm placidity. He said to his physi-
clan ten minutes before he died: MY
last words shall be what is the
news?'" Mr.. Medill came here three
months ago for his health.
Joseph Medill was born April 6, 1923,
and but for the Ashburton-Webster
treaty, which ceded territory from
Maine to New Brunswick, he would
have been by birth citizen of the
United States. His parents were Scotch
Irish residents of Ireland who emf
grated to the banks of the st. Johns
river in 1919. In 1882 they removed to
a farm near Massillon, o., where the
boy grew to manhood. His education
was received in the common schools.
He in 1914 entered the law Office of
Hiram Griswold and was admitted to
the bar in 1916. The next year he
opened an Office in New Philadelphia,
O., having as partner George w. Nc
Ilvaine.

a free soil whig paper. In 1852 he
moved to Cleveland, where he founded
the Daily Forest City, in which he re-
