Death of Mir. W. N. Cummings.

At his home in this city, after a short illness lasting less than a week, MT. w. N. Cummings, a pioneer and one of the best known residents of Santa Cruz county, died early last Tuesday morning. The immediate cause of his death was acute nephritis, and although he had been enjoying splendid health up until the day he was taken sick, Wednesday of last week, the attending physicians, Doctors Noon and Rutherford, entertained no hopes for his recovery, but his marvellous will power and constitu- tion kept him alive until five o'clock Tuesday morning, when he passed peacefully away. He was born in Canada in May, 1929, and was nearly seventy-fve years old. Mir. Cummings had lived in Ari- zona and California for a good many years and lived a number of years in this county, where he held political offices at different times.
 Besides his wife there remain to mourn his loss his daughter, Mrs. B. NJ. Stanley, of Tucson; Douglas W. Cummings of Calabasas, and a number of other relatives in Ari- zona and California.
 The funeral services were held from the Masonic Hall Wednesday afternoon and were under the auspices of the Masons and Odd Fellows with which organizations the deceased had been actively identified for many years.
