FATAL TO CY WARMAN
"POet Of The Rockies" Dead al
Chicago After Long Illness.

Chicago, April S.-Cy Warman
poet and short story writer, died here
after a long illness.
Warman was stricken with paralysis
in his hotel here this winter. The
outlook was unfavorable from the
first. He was removed to a hospital
a few weeks ago where he continued
to sink until the end.
He was known as the Poet of the
Rockies" author of the famous song,
Sweet Marie" and as a pioneer in
the school of railroad literature.
Warman's stories about railroad
men were based on personal expe-
riences at Salida, Colo, where in the
early SOS he worked in turn as a
wiper, fireman and locomotive engi.
neer After a few years of railroad
ing he became i'll and was compelled
to seek employment less physical.
He went to Denver and worked a
while as a reporter. He began pub.
fishing a railway journal there, but IL
aid not prove a success. All the while
he was writing short poems and bits
of prose but there seemed to be no
sale for them.
At this moment of discouragem
Warman was cheered by the publica
tion in a New York newspaper of a
column of his verses. Later he re
ceived a column editorial introduction
as 'the poet of the Rockies"
In the meantime the poet had met
Miss Marie Myrtle Jones. 1t was she
who inspired his verse for Sweet
Marie" the song which made him fa
nous. They were married and spent
three years in travelling. The poet
found a ready market for years &C
cumulation of writings.
