Further particulars regarding the
death of Will Lenton, have been re-
ceived. He was in Jamestown Mon

ed to his farm home about IA miles

been on the decline for some time,
but nothing was thought specially
alarming, concerning him. His old
est son, Ted, occupied the same bed
Monday night, and in the morning
on awakening noticed that his father
was still sleeping and did not attempt
to awaken him. Ted Lenton quiet
ly left the room about a. m. and
returned half hour later and no.
ticed that his father appeared to be
still breathing and supposed that he
was sleeping as usual. A later visit
to the room by a member of the
family discovered that Mr.. Lenton
had passed away. DR.. Guest was
summoned as soon as possible, from
the nearest telephone, five miles dis
tant, but arrived too late to be OF
any assistant as Mr.. LentOn had
died probably about nine o'clock or
shortly after the physician had been
called.

in Oundle, North Hampshire, Eng
land, November 4, 1860, having pass
ed his 51st birthday but last Satur-
day. He came from England in

and others, all located by the old land
firm of Brown & Brown. William
Lenton acquired considerable land in
the vicinity; owning about two sec
tions and the Lenton farm has been
long noted for its old English hos
pitality, sH,, for the many pleasant
sociable aASirs that were enjoyed
at their farm. He married Alice
Perkins i 1881. Mr.. Lenton return
ed to England eight years ago, to-
gether with O. St. C. Chenery of this
city and also visited his former home
six years ago. He has been resi-
dent of Stutsman county, thirty
years. He has served as school di-
rector, and was a member of the A.
o. U. w.
William Lenton is survived by his
widow and six sons, William, Ed
ward, Reginald, Herbert, Francis
and Harry, all living in Stutsman
county; also by his aged father and

there will be no cessation of hostilities
until Diaz either resigns Or is forced to
retire. The proclamation has been re-
ceiYed here by members of the rebel
junta and by them made public. Sew
eral letters from insurrecto division
chiefs reatirming their faith in Ma
dero also were given out by the junta

Confirmatory indications from other
sources which came to San Antonio
make 1t pretty positive that, whatever
strain Of sincerity there may be in all
the chaff of the diplomatic talk about
peace to be arranged between the Ma
deros on M hand and Limantour,
representing the federal government of
Mexico, has accomplished nothing. In
dications began to be manifested sew

an attempt at gaining political posi-
ton by the peace talk than a real eff
fort to bring about an amicable settle

would consent to resign from tho pres

lay down his arms. I understand that
even before they left San Antonio Senior
Hernandez began communications with
Limantour in the City Of Mexico,
saying that the resignation of Diaz
was absolutely a necessary condition
for the basis of peace negotiations.
Hernandez continued his communica-

Negro Troopers Will Remain at San
Antonio For Present.

San Antonio, Tex, April General
William H. Carter, in command of the
division of the modified troops at
Fort Sam Houston, has received an
order from the war department adyis-
ing him that a previous order detach-
ing the Ninth cavalry Of colored troop
FRS from his command had been sus-
pended. The Ninth cavalry will not
move from San Antonio for the present
at least to do patrol duty along the Dor,
der as part of the command Of the de-
partment of Texas.
The latest order from the war de-
partment gave as the only reason for

TACT that the Third cavalry, which has
lone patrol duty along the Rio Grande

Iuainted with the country to be pa
