attendance at Mr.. Goebels bedside, and

er brother, who has been hurrying from
Arizona as fast as steam could carry
him in a vain hope of reaching his dy-
ing brother in time for some token OF

Oxygen was frequently administered
to Ne dying man during the afternoon

brother arrived, but in vain. BY the
cruel irony of fate the train on which
Justus Goebel was travelling to Frank
fort was delayed several hours from va
rous causes and when Mr.. Goebel fin
ally reached here it was only to learn
that his brother was dead.
Among partisans of both parties
deep grief is manifested and already a
movement has been started to erect o
