connected with the general superintend-
Cnts office. The remains arrived from
the West yesterday, and the funeral serv-
ices viii occur at o'clock Sunday after
noon at 6lO Olive street.
Death came very suddenly. and was
caused by a violent attack of paeumonia,
induced by a cold and exposure to the
weather Mr.. Hawkins was not cousid-
cred seriously sick until last Saturday,
when his condition changed rapidly for
The worse. He lived through Sunday and
died carly Monday morning, with mis- wife
and little son at his bedside Mrs. Hawk
ins accompanied the remains from the
West, and, with her son, Is now in the
city.
Ten years aso Victor r. Hawkins w3s
one of the best known and most popular
Great Northern employees in the city. He
occupied various positions in the gene al
superiniendent's office, and went with Di-
vision superintendent Rice to st. Cloud o I

and from there to Melrose when the IL

genial and efficient. and numbered his
friends by hundreds. He was but forty
years Of age at the time Of his death.
