DIED AT HIS HOME AT ST. PAUL
THIS MORNING AT s:17 OF
PNEUMoNlA--oNE OF THE MOST
5 COMPETENT RAILROAD MEN OF
THE ENTIRE WEST.

F. W.. Gilbert, general superintend-
ent of the eastern district of the North
ern Pacific, died at his home in st.

monia, after two weeks illness.

necessity for redistricting the road in
to three grand divisions, he was ap-
pointed general superintendent OF the
eastern district, comprising all lines

the eastern and most important dis
trict OF the road.
He was highly esteemed by the rail-
road employees Of the entire system.
