covered but it was determined that
this was secondary affection brought
on by an acute attack Of pneumonia.
Wednesday and Thursday no i'm
provement was noticed, and Friday
afternoon DIR. NJ. H. Herzstein of San
Francisco was communicated with,
but as he was unable to depart at
once DIR. /. w. Thorne was dispatched
In DIR. Herzstein's place. DIR. Thorne
arrived early Saturday morning and
together with the local physicians dill
gently watched the patient all that
day. = In the afternoon a slight rally
was detected, and relatives and physi-
clans were extremely hopeful, but the
change was short lived. At 10 O'Clock
a sinking spell seized the veteran.
DIR. Herzstein arrived shortly after
midnight Sunday morning, and after
being hurriedly driven to the generals
side a consultation was held with the
other physicians. 1t Is stated that DR..
Herzstein deemed an operation the
only means of relief from the intes-
final obstruction, but the condition Of
the patient would forecast nothing but
fatal results in such an attempt. DIR.
Herzstein, accompanied by DIR. Thorne,
returned to San Francisco, all hope of
saving General Skaters life having
been abandoned. The patient was left
In charge Of DIR. Mitchell, and the bat
tie against desperate odds continued.
Through it all the veteran bore up
bravely. Cheerful and hopeful, though
fully cognizant of his critical condi-
ton, the general remained conscious
until 8 o'clock In the morning. Pure
oxygen sent from San Francisco per-
formed a great work in keeping life
up, but after midnight and early in the
morning constant weakening was
discerned. DIR. Mitchell and the train
ed nurses labored untiringly, but the
general lapsed into unconsciousness at
o'clock and remained In that condi-
ton until death came. Captain and
Mrs McIxittrick, the generals son-in-
law and daughter; Miss Edmunds, a
niece, and James N. Shafter, a brother,
were at the bedside at the close.
The body will be taken to San Fran
cisco for interment with military hon.
ors.
The body of Major General Shafter
will leave tomorrow evening ON San
ia Fe train and upon arrival at Point

escorted by military officers to the Pre-
sidio at San Francisco Burial will be

their escape.
The men had been following the wo-

she turned the corner they separated.
One hurried Ia front of her, while an
other walked Immediately behind. The
latter grabbed her about the waist,
while the man in front wrenched her
nun and purse from her hands and
made of. She was thrown to the side
walk and sustained severe bruises.
After reporting the matter to the police
Mrs. Boykin was taken home, where
she is suffering from the injuries and
shock. There is no clew to the assail-
ants
In the meantime trade and business
organizations are holding indignation
