o. f. Thomson, one of the Oldest
and most highly respected pioneers
of eastern Oregon, died in this city
at 1880 this forenoon. Death came
as the result Of lingering illness
which had made him an invalid for

trouble baffled the physicians who
attended him, and in order to solve
the mystery a posi- mortem examina-
ton will be made this afternoon.
About year ago the aged pioneer
was seized with u violent attack of
lhiccoughs, and after that time his
condition gradually grew more seri-
Gus until hope Of his recovery was
dispaired of. 1t was the opinion OF
DIR. Ply of the Hot Lake sanitarium
that he was afflicted with cancer of
the stomach.
At the time of his death this morn
ing the deceased was being cared for
at the home OF Mrs S. l.. Morse at
115 East High street.
The funeral services will be held at
Echo Sunday, and arrangements have
been made to have the service begin

tives and acquaintance from this
city will go to Echo to attend the
service,
