Famous Novelist Succumbs to
Bullet Wounds Inflicted by
Crazy Musician.
GRITTY AUTHOR FIGHTS
VALIANTLY FOR LIFE
End Comes at Late Hour In Bellevue
Hospital-Body Taken to Arts
Club-Physicians Request Coroner
to Dispense With Autopsy-Senator
Beveridge in Charge of Funeral.

New York, Jan. 25.-David Gra-
ham Phillips has lost his brave fight
for life. He died in Bellevue hospital
late last night, a victim of FitZhugh
Coyle Boldsborough, an eccentric and
emotional physician, who, although of
refined tastes and aristocratic south
ern stock, shot the novelist down
Monday for fancied grievance, then
killed himself.
Phillips fought valiantly to live, but
six bullet holes were too much even
for his grit and sturdy constitution
and at 11:10 o'clock he died.
He was conscious UP to within a
quarter of an hour of his death.
AT the idside were his sister, Mrs.
Carolyn rservert, his brother, Harri-
son W. Phillips, his personal physici-
an, DR.. Eugene Fuller, and DR.. Dom
ovan of Bellevue. The immediate
lcause was hemmorrhage of the right
lung, which had been pierced by one
of the steel clad bullets from Colds
borough's automatic pistol.
Up to O'clock the novelist was
resting quietly and both physicians
and relatives were hopeful Of the out
come.
| He had been conscious all day and
had received visitors, among them
his sister, his brother, United States
Senator Beveridge of Indiana and sew
eral writer's of note. Their visits were
lextieInefy brief, but all who came
away appeared optimistic.
After o'clock the patient took Q
turn for the worse and although the
surgeons did everything in their pow
er the end was inevitable.
The physicians met directly after
death and decided to request the cor
oner's jury to dispense with an au'
topsy. 1t is believed this will be gran
ted, though an autopsy is usual IL
homicidal cases.
The body of Phillips was taken t.
the national arts club early today
Senator Beveridge was in charge O.
the removal and had arranged tina
the funeral services be held in littl
church around the corner. No hou
for the services have been set. H
will be buried in Indiana.
. Phillips made brave fight blu
, died at IL o'clock.
. The body of Goldsborough, Phil
lips slayer arrived today in Wash
: ington, where he will be buried b.
= his family. The police are fully con
vinced the man was insane.
Shortly before his death Phillip
whispered to his brother: IF 1 onl
5 had two bullets in me might wi
out, but with five or six it is prett
. hard"
: He lapsed into inconsistencies an
II the hemmorrhage followed. He die
y seven minutes later.
u Goldsborough's sister at Washing
IT ton, said: "In the name of my fail
W er mother and myself, I wish to e,
q press the greatest sorrow over IL
shooting of Mr.. Phillips. There
no doubt but brother was insane"
The police still cannot account f
IT the motive which promted the shoe

Grandes at 1SO-No Estimates Of
Insurrectos Killed Obtainable.

Douglas, Ariz., Jan. 25.--Alamos, a
town between Montezuma and Her.
mosillo, is now in the hands of Col
onel Severiano Talamantes, a former
government commander, who turned
insurrecto rather than arrest his
three sons for treason, according to
unofficial reports received here. Tala-
nantes is reported to have taken with
him into the rebel ranks a detach-
ment of 100 federal troops and with
them Joined a force of 800 citizens
who declared for Madero and against
Diaz.
Talamantes, who was operating in
the vicinity OF Alamos, is said to have
been sent a list of 100 suspects by
Military Governor Lorenzo Torres,
who ordered him to arrest the alleged
traitors and bring them to Hermo-
sillo. In this list Talmantes found the
names of his three sons. He went to
Alamos, but instead of arresting the
rebels he issued a proclamation de-
claring himself Maderoist. His 100
soldiers joined him in the declara-
ton and the 300 armed citizens who
had previously decided to support the
rebel cause welcomed Talamantes and
his men to their ranks.
Torres, when he learned of his sub
ordinates action, sent force of 100
rurales to arrest him at Alamos, but
/ when the governments troops learned
that Talamentos had armed the citi-
zens and was preparing for battle,
they returned to Hermosillo.
There was much talk among Mexi-
can refugees crossing the border to-
day of a report emanating from rebel
sources, the state of Sonora would
secede and make Madero president OF
the republic of Sonora. This state Sc
ceded some years ago and since that
time has in measure been under
martial law.
i The rebels count on capturing Her
mosillo and say that Madero will then
appear there and set up his govern
ment there.
