MRS. A. LUCAS DEATH.
Passed Away This Morning at Ft.worth
After q Lingering Illness.

This morning at :15 O'Clock, at
Fort Worth, Mrs. 4. Lucas, wife
of Local Agent Lucas, of the San
ia Fe, died, after an illness of sew
eral weeks. Mr.. Lucas received
telegram last night that Mrs. Lu-
cas- was sinking rapidly, and he
boarded a freight train, reaching
his wife's side a couple of hours
before her death.
Several days ago Mr.. Lucas un-
dertOOk to move the sufferer from
Ardmore to Southwest Texas, hav-
in been advised that a change of
climate might be beneficial. At
Fort Worth, Mrs. Lucas condition
became such as to render further
proceeding impossible. At the
house o. her brother, she has been
given every care, and there was a
hope that she might so far recover
as to permit her removal to a more
favorable locality. Yesterday ,
however. her condition changed
rapidly, and the end came much
sooner than anticipated.
Mr. Lucas mother and his two
children will leave this evening for
Fort Worth. The remains will
probably be buried at Dallas.
The sOrrOwing family have the
sympathy of Ardmore friends in
this great grief.
