serious from the beginning Almost from
the time Mr. Hoyt took to his bed there
were rumors that his condition was very
grave
Ills condition was such last night that
Dr. Robert NJ. Baker OF this city and the
wife, son and daughter Of Mr. Hoyt
deemed Il advisable to remain at the bed
side throughout the night Shortly after
midnight they noticed a change for the
worse, when perceptible weakening of
the pulse beats was noticeable. From then
on, except for a short period during which
he rallied somewhat, Mr. Hoyt sank rap
idly until death came at 500 o'clock.
Mr.. Hoyt, It was said, had been suffer
ing from an intestinal trouble for more
than year. resulting eventually in the
disease which caused his death. He suf-
fered during his last illness with a per-
forated ulcer OF the stomach, which re-
suited in peritonitis.
In the death chamber with the physician
we're Mrs. Henry NJ Hoyt, Henry M. Hoyt

Petty Thief Gets Priced
Violin Many Years of Age

to make Il certain that at least the violin
was very old one, and correspondingly
valuable. People who have seen It say
that the words. "Antonius Stradivarlus.
l729," are inscribed on the inside OF the
bottom OF the box. and that the wood had
the appearance OF being very old, being
black in color and like hard wax to the
touch. They also stated that the instru-

Somewhere in the city, and possibly in
the hands OF a person who little guesses
the true value Of his possession, there may
be one OF the almost priceless. old
Stradlvarius vlolins. Among the numerous
entries OF petty thefts and stolen over
coats, which furnish, as a rule. very
prosaic reading. In the stolen property
book, known ass the squeal book in
police nomenclature at the Omaha police
station, is an entry 20 which some little
romance may attach. Il records the fact
that Louis Miller OF 3l5h North Fifteenth
street had an old violin stolen from his
room one day this week while he was at
work, In describing the instrument Il
calmly states that Il was marked "Antonius
Stradivarius. l72e."
OF course there are numberless imita

the known genuine instruments OF that
make can be counted upon the fingers OF
one hand. Yet Miller asserts he Is very
