TEoS. K. ELVEY DEAD
Succumbs to Sudden Stroke of Ap-
 plexy at Las Vegas.

News of the sudden death of Thomas K. Elvey of the firm of Eivey &, Hulett druggists. was received here yesterday | by l.. G. Hulett and by the Leviathan | Mining company. of which Mir. Elvey was treasurer. The news was contained | in dispatches from a person named Henry Page from Los Vegas, New Mexico, and stated that Mir. Elvey had died of apoplexy on a ranch there, and asked for information regarding the disposition of the remains.
 The news shocked the entire com munity. for that MT. Elvey was in any way ailing was unknown to any one. i MT. Hulett was stunned by the news, and fer some time was of the opinion i that there must be a mistake. but final i ly accepted the information as correct.
 II did not know that MT. Elvey was on his way hCme,' said MT. Hulett. flor few days ago 1 received letter ! from him from Chicago stating that he would be in Geneva and Aurora, H., this week. and I was not looking for him fer some time yet. 1 am inclined : to believe though that he had a pre- mCrition of approaching illness and started fer home at once without in 1 ming his wife, who is visiting rela- i tives and friends in Iowa.
 MT. Eivey must have been stricken on the train near Las Vegas and was removed to tlte ranch mentioned in the diepatch and died there.
 He was a good subject for apopleXy. being very stout. and l know that ne had developed symptoms several E,caths ago. and I treated him myself ba IoI died then if I had not been present at the time of the attack.
 He also suffered at times a great deal with an old wound received during the civil war near the corner of the left eye and physicians that have treat ed him all said that the optical nerve was destroyed 2 $ result Of the wound. but whether the old trouble had any thing to do with his death I do not know. but I do know that he was ail- but I never gave a thought to his being stricken with apopleXy."
 MT. Elvey left Phoenix on the first of July for Chicago for the purpose of placing the stock of the Leviathan Min ing company. He was meeting with success and was going to visit d few | though he was not expected here for :, couple of weeks at least.
 Thomas K. Elvey was born near Chi cago and was about fifty-eight years Of age. He was raised in Chicago and 1 was in business there for some years after reaching manhood. He came to this valley thirteen years ago and bought ranch in the valley near the | Q i'm "a h11S in in this city three years ago, associat- ing himself with E. G. Hulett.
 Deceased leaves d wife and six chil- dren. John. Henry. Frank. Wilburt Josie and married daughter. Mrs Dolson. who lives on ranch near Phoenix with her husband. Henry is at present at Bisbee. where he is in the employ of George Buxton, and Frank is in a mercantile store at Douglas this territory.
 Mrs. ilvey left the city a short time ago to visit her relatives in Iowa ant no news has as yet been received iron her regarding the disposition to bt made of the remains.
 Deceased was a member and pas commander Of the John w. Owen post No. ,, of this city, and was also | Mason. though he had taken out nc card fer the local lodge. He served throughout the civil war enlisting il Company G, Eighteenth regular infan try. He served gallantly and wa: wounded once. He was discharged a
 the close of the war with the rank O sergeant.
 The G. A. R. of this city are anXiou: l to have the remains shipped here foI r burial under the ritual of the order. MT. Elvey's death is deeply deploreC s throughout the city, for he was a joVial whole-souled man who made man! friends both in business and in a socia s way. and as he was the picture O : health none suspected that he woult
 die suddenly.
 MT. Hulett telegraphed to Las Vega
 and to Mrs. Elvey yesterday. but ul
 to last night had received no reply.

 telegram from Mrs. F,lvey. stating tha
