the woods so much as this season. On
Friday and Saturday he was about his
camp noting the progress Of improve
ments which he had been carrying on
this year.
On Sunday he remained at the lodge
very quietly, receiving the calls of several
friends from neighboring camps. Yester-
day he took a long walk over his pre-
serves and also made trip on his steam
beat the Oneonta. He remarked to his
friends that he was feeling remarkably
well. During the day he made no com
plant whatever of Illness. He retired
last evening at IL O'Clock, still apparent
ly in the very best OF health. y few min
utes later means were heard from his
room and an attendant Immediately went
to his assistance. Help was summoned
and restoratives were applied, but Hunt
