Death Of Mr.. W. L. Gibson.

Death Of Mr.. w. L. Gibson.
Mr.. William Lewis Gibson died at the
homo of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. III. A.
II. Gibson, In Walhalla, 8. O., on Sum
day night, September 7th, 1902, at 11.20
o'clock, after a lingering illness, aged
thirty-three years, two months and
seventeen days. He had been suffering
from abscess of the kidneys for several
months, and while his death was not
unexpected, yet it la deeply mourned.
On May 10Th, 1901, he was happily
married to Miss Lila Florence Browne,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. J. ID. Browne,
of Washington, D. @. In her great Bor-
row she has the sympathy of numerous
friends. During the weeks and months
of patient suffering she tenderly nursed
him through o painful illness, which
modern medical skill could devise, or a
deep love suggest was done, and yet II
was all in vain. In the midst of his
years and of q vigorous young manhood,
he was called to lay his armor by, and
cease from his labors. 1t was ever his
delight to keep his hand upon the throt-
tie and eye upon the rail. When only a
small boy he made choice of his life
work, and gave himself to it with such
that his fitness for responsible position
was soon manifest, and rapid promotion
followed. Thus it was that "Pat," as he
was familiarly known, 30 soon became
one of the most expert and popular
locomotive engineers on the Southern
system. Bright, jovial, generous, he
made many fast friends in this and other
States, who are grieved to learn of his
early demise. A dutiful son, affection
ate brother, devoted husband, kind
friend-in word noble young man
has fallen. To his aged parents, affec-
wife is extended the sincere sympathy OF
host of friends.
Impressive funeral services were con-

Big PACKERS DEMUR
70 GOVERNMENT, suit
Attack Made on Form of Peti-
ton for Injunction.
Charge That it Contains Several Inde-
pendent Matters and Causes
Foreign to Each Other.

CHICAGO, Avg. 4.-In two general and
special demurrers. one on behalf OF the
individual defendants and the other for
seven corporations, the packers today
attacked the form OF the petition for an
injunction presented by the Govern
ment several months ago.
The general ground for the demurrers
is that the bill of the United States is
multifarious. inasmuch as it contains
several independent matters and causes
whicn have no relation to each other
and cannot be embraced in one suit
Another objection is presented against
that part OF the petition which seeks
discovery Of the defendants books. pa
pers, accounts. letters. kilograms. rec
ords and documents. The contention is
made that the complainant has not
shown. by It's bill. such a case as en-
titles it to the discovery and relief
prayed for. The demurrer closes with
the usual prayer that the bill, for these
and other reasons, be dismissed. Spe-
cial demurrer Is made TO the petitions
of the Government attorney contained
In paragraphs 2. 6. Z. s, 9, 10. and II OF
the bill.
