age was his trouble. This during a
few days past had produced a gastric
disturbance, and for several years
weakness of the heart was denoted at
times by excessive palpitation.
Shortage of breath had become quite
marked, yet the venerable jurist kept
about; and as late as Thursday
walked out but only block from
home, for air aud exercise Wednes-
day forenoon he called to gaze for the
last time or the face of his old friend,
s. L. Sheldon, but two doors distant
from his own home, yet felt too feeble
to undergo the trial of the funeral a
few hours later. About that time the
attendance of physician was sought
for the first, not because the patient
wished, but because of anxiety upon
the part of other members of the
family. Sunday Judge Bum chatted
with intimates who called, frankly
explained that old age was his only
trouble. and was in bed and UP as
preference dictated, though at no
time further dressed than in his bath
