Particulars Of Death.

PARTICULARS OF OedtH,
The following account of Mr.. Cham1
bers' tragic death is taken from thed
Pueblo Chieftan of Tuesday:
I'm case die notify Mrs. Daniel
Eaton of Ottumwa, Iowa"
These lines, traced in pencil on an
envelope, were probably written by w.
e. Chambers while passing over the
divide on his way from Denver to
Pueblo. He fell in faint few min
ntes after he left the Denver and Rio
Grande train about noon at the Union
depot and died about twenty minuteS
later in the baggage room. Chambers
was victim of the white plague.
From letters found on his person,
Chambers was from Chicago, where hl
had been employed in the Sears Roe1
buck company store. He formerly
came from Ottumwa. Iowa, where his
grandmother, Mrs. Daniel Eaton, res
sides.
! On coming across the devide the nj
titude was too high for him, and ho
probably realized the terrible disease
had claimed him, and he wrote the In.
structions on the envelope.
| Passengers in the car with Cham
bers noticed that he was In serious
condition, although it was not suppos-
ed that he was lnen in an almose dy.
ing condition. On leaving the train
Chambers started to walk into the
station, but fell in heap Just outside
the gate. Mcmahon & Golfers ambul-
ance was summoned, and in the mean
time the unfortunate was carried In the
freight room. When the ambulance ar
rived it was seen that Chambers only
had few minutes to live and he was
not moved.
The remains were removed to Me-
Mahon & Golfers undertaking rooms,
and all the papers and letters found on
| him were taken in charge by Coroner
j. J. Mcdonnell Dr.. Mcdonnell at
once wired to the dead mans grand
mother and to ears-Roebuck.
