UNSELFISH LOVE.

Tombstone, Ariz., Aug 6.-Gen. Da-
yid e. Wardwell, the aged Texas ve..
cram of the Mexican war who abduct-
ed his leper wife from the Los Ange-
les County Hospital and spirited her
to Tombstone, is attending her night
and day at an isolated cabin near this
place, and has made up his mind and
announced his determination to be-
come a leper so that he may never
be separated from her. So pathetic

heart to separate them and will not

in touch with them. Gen. Wardwell

MALCOLM cARNEs DEAD.

At seven o'clock yesterday morning
in Denver, Colo, his painful illness of
several weeks, preceded by gradual
decline in health for some time APP
parent was brought to a sad close,
and the spirit of Malcolm Carnes, rep
resentative citizen, high degree Mason
and senior member of the firm of
Carnes & Wallace, wcs uShered
into the presence of his Maker. Nal
CT I'm Carnes died as he lived-at
peace with his fellow man and sub
missive to the will of Him who doeth
all things for the best.
A message received shortly after
noon announcing the sad news was
the first intimation of any serious de-
velopment in the condition of Mr..
Carnes and proved a shock to rela-
tives and friends alike. He visited
Marlin nine weeks ago in the hopes
Of recuperating his delicate health
and after remaining there a few
weeks returned to Bryan without any
improvement being indicated. His
illness was pronounced nervous pros
tration and upon the advise of physi-
clans he left for Denver, Colo, being
joined en- route by his brother-in-law,
Nat G. Turney of Dallas, who re-
manned with him to the end Serious
complications developed and his de-
mise came without warning.
The remains were shipped from
Denver last night at ten o'clock and
will reach here tomorrow afternoon

Malcolm Carnes was a man who
vas more than liked and admired; he
was held in that strong feeling of love
and affection which so rarely charac-
terizes the acquaintance and associa-
ton of man with men, and through
his death the sharp and burning shaft
of sorrow is sunk deep into the hearts
of many, which not even the passage
of time will entirely assuage and
heal. The anguish of his devoted
wife, parents, and other loved ones
will be keen and poignant; the sorrow
OF his eo-workers will be deep, crush
ing, and lasting, and the feeling Of
sincere and sorrowful regret of those
with whom he had the slightest ac-
quaintance will be universal. But to
all there will be the consoling knowl
edge that his life was marked with
the purity, uprightness, kindness and
devotion to his fellow man and to his
Christian duties that will meet with
the just reward of Him who judges
all men rightly.
Deceased was 3S years, four months
and thirteen days of age and had re-
sided in Bryan from the time since
attaining his majority by one year.
During this period he had been active
~ and prominently connected with the
management of the Bryan Eagle and
displayed an interest in the advance
ment of the welfare of his adopted
home town to a most commendable
extent. He was prominently ident;
fed, aside from the success he at
tained in his business, with various
projects for the upbuilding of Bryan
and took an extraordinary interest in
all matters of civic improvement, be-
ing at the time of his death secretary
of the Bryan Business League. Mr.
