Ex- GOVERNOR NJ 3. RRoWARO

Jacksonville. Fla. Oct I-Ex-Governor
\ B. Broward Of Florida died shortly after
noon here to-day. The condition of Mr..
Broward who was I'll with gladstone, be-
came so serious to-day that an immediate
operation was decided on, but TO no avail,
as he died shortly after going on the op-
sratlng table.
Napoleon Bonaparte BrowaFd was one of
the most eminent figures in present-day
Southern political life. In his early years
he was d Florida logging hand, steamboat
roustabout and cook and codhsherman on
the Grand Banks He was Governor of
Florida from 1905 TO 1893 While Governor
he was defeated in a primary for the
United States Senatorial Endorsement by
Duncan [. Fletcher. Last fall he was
successful against Senator Taliaferro. the
nomination being equivalent 10 election.
Mr.. Rroward was born on a farm in
DuvaI County. Fla. in 1857. He was OF
Huguenot descent on his fathers side. and
his mother was Of an old New England
family. His parents died when he was
twelve years old, and two years later he
began his varied career in the active world
In 1887 he gave up the sea TO run wood
ward and begin his political career The
same year he was appointed Sheriff OF
Duval County in which he was born. TO
fill a vacancy caused by death. By reap
nofuruent. election and reelection he re-
mained Sheriff until 1900, when he went
to the state Legislature from his county.
But before he quit the office Of Sheriff ne
had gained fame in at least two national
caDjtaIs as one of the most daring Of the
Cuban flibusters.
In 1895 he re-entered the steamboat bust
ness having secured an interest in the

built in Jacksonville for the primary pur-
nose Of supplying the Cuban patriots with
munitions of war. Broward himself com
uanded the tug on eight of her trips 10
and from Cuba; he always took charge
whenever the signs pointed to an exciting
voyage.
