he asked that the physicians and nurses retire.
rrban for twenty minutes the dying man was

st . o'clock his condition was considered SO
alarming that as last resort oxygen was given
in order TO keep the dying man alive II possloIe
until the arrival OF his brother Justus iroin
Arizona who was due shortly after D O'CLOCK
The pulse of the patient had in the mean tiine
run up to 40 and his temperature TO 100 While
his breathing became rapid and more labored.

intelligence came into the half closed eyes, ahu
II was apparent that Mr. Goebel understood
what was said to him.
shortly after this DR.. Taliaferro left the room

ported to the throngs of anxious watchers In tle
corridors of the hotel that death was matter
of only few moments time The oxygen treat
ment was used constantly, in a desperate enort
to keep Mr. Goebel alive until Justus Cooper )
