Death was due to heart trouble.
Ever since the campaign last fall
when he was defeated for reelection
by John L. Satterfield, MIR. Smith has
been on the decline, and recently his
friends advised him to go away for a

from him was to the effect that his
health was improving. and that he

Coming on top Of his defeat for re-
election. Montezuma, his beautiful

one ever charged him with being un.

while he always made a great deal OF
money he gave much to charity His
many benefactions were secretly be-
slowed and really his work among the
poor was never generally known. His
close friends, however. say that. q

by "Junky" Smith.

some of the fastest over the grand
circuit. His last racing venture
proved disastrous. however. Although
he took his string Of thoroughbred
over the circuit he won very few
purses and returned to his Montezuma
farm very much broken in health and
spirits.
