WAR VETERAN WITH LEPER WIFE
 PASSES AWAY IN HIS CABIN

Bisbee, Ariz., August 15.-(Special.)- Col. David K. Wardwell, veteran of the Mexican and civil wars, who, burdened with poverty and the weight of S0-odd years, came here a few weeks ago with his leper wife and secluded themselves in a little cabin to prevent her from being sent to a leper colony, died today.
 In the adjoining room the old warrior s venerable wife, whose frightful afflction doubly endeared her to him, was uncon- scious of the death of her life partner. She was tied down in her bed and screamed frightfully to be set free.
 In his last hours Colonel Wardwell, be- tween intervals of unconsciousness, re- hearsed many of the stirring scenes of his life. He talked of his early days in Mas sachusetts when he enlisted with Captain Crowninshield in Company K of the First Massachusetts regiment for the Mexican war Then he would shift to the days of the civil war, when he organized a company in 1S61
 He muttered his dread of separation from his wife with threats of vengeance against those who might seek to send her from him.
 ColonelSWardwell will be buried in Evergreen cemetery, Tombstone tomor- row.
