SANDS FORMAN
PASSES AWAY

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec 15.-Sands
w. Forman, for thirty years one of the
best known figures on the streets and
in the clubs Of San Francisco, died at
. o'clock yesterday morning at the Oc-
c:dental Hotel. The immediate cause
% his death was heart disease, the out
growth of progressive loComotOr ataxia.
from which he had been a pattern sIf-
terer for fifteen years.
His passing was not unexpacted

Since his attack of month ago he
had been growing more feeble, until
last week, when even the splendid
courage of Sands Forman could sus-
his clutches forever. His wife. who
has done so much to brighten his
stricken years: his daughter. now Mrs.
a. j. Brander, and his little grandson
were with him at the last
1t is expected that Father Ramm of
st. Mary's Cathedral will have charge
of the funeral services, which will be
held at 1890 q m, Monday, at the
Occidental Hotel.
Forman came to San Francisco from
Illinois with his father in the fifties,
and was educated at Santa Clara Col
lege and Georgetown, ID. c., University.
and early attained a high rank in the
field of literature. Along with Dan
O'Connell and the older set of newspa-
per men he attained distinction in most
of the Pacific Coast publications as
poet. critic and journalist. Years ago
he was city editor of a local afternoon
paper and later became European cor
respondent of several American pc
Iiodicals. He was one of the old
guard" at the Bohemian Club, which
he helped to organize, and of which he
was the first secretary. Appointed as
mission, he rendered the State effective
service, and later served one term as
supervisor, after which he was ap-
pointed notary. serving in that capac-
ity until the time of his death.
Stricken with an incurable disease in
1887 he went to France and remained
for time under the treatment of the
famous DR.. Charcot and the School of
Nancy in the vain hope of relief
Forman was noted as man Of
strong individuality and of genial dis
position, even in the midst of his great
sufferings. His soul was big and his
hand was always open to give. In the
earlier days of San Francisco no man
was better known as an entertainer,
writer and racOnteur.
