physician was called. Despite heroic med
ical attendance. Jukes. after lingering some
time in agony. died yesterday afternoon at
3 o'clock.
William Jukes was sixty-eight years old

nine years ago. settling In ltiles. Ohio. One
year later he moved with his family to
Cleveland. and for time he was puddler
