WILBUR WRIGHT is
VICTIM OF TYPHOID
Death Victor in Battle With
Famous Aviator.

Dayton, o., May 31.-Fighting death
with the grim determination and in
defatigable energy that characterized
his conquest over the air, Wilbur
Wright, noted aviator, died of typhoid
fever at the family home here.
Returning from a short business
trip through the East on May Mr..
Wright complained of not feeling well.
Looking back to a probable cause of
his indisposition he recalled having
eaten fish and clam broth at Boston
hotel
The case early evidenced the symp-
toms of typhoid fever in what the doc
tors declared to be the most virulent
form. 1t was marked by an excessive
toxaemia and the case was obstructed
by intense cerebral activity of the pa
tient, due to his great mental strain
! incident to planning further develop
/ ments of the aeroplane, anxiety over
the outcome and labor incident to ex-
tensive litigation involving patent
rights.
Mr.. Wright had been unconscious
during the last two weeks of his Ill.
ness and for several days before the
end came hope of recovery had been
abandoned.
Wilbur Wright was born in Henry
county, Ind, April Is, 1867 His an
cestry can be traced through mum
ber of generations in England. Sam
uel Wright, through whom was trans
planted the lineage in America, came
to Springfield, Mass, in 1886. His
descendants participated in the Revo
lutionary war.

 Between Kumanoya and Uskup 30o0 were killed and near Prisrend nearly 30U0 were massacred under circumstances of the most horrible cruelty. Villages were burned and the fleeing inhabitants shot down. Helpless women were forced to watch their children hacked to pieces with bayonets.
 Executions were the daily diversion of the Servian soldiers. Wherever persons were found in possession of arms they were shot or hanged. The route of the troops on their march was lined with gall lows on which the bodies of Albanians were left hanging.
 The atrocities were not even confined to Albania. The deeds committed in Frilip, Kossovo and Werschitza exceeded anything the Albanians suffered Under Turkish rule. At Verisovitch the Servian commander invited the fugitives to return and surrender their arms. Four hun dred of them did so and were immedi- ately cut down. In many cases the Ser vians killed their prisoners. Near Kra- tova General Stephanovitch placed hum dreds of prisoners in two rows and shot them down with machine guns.
