The bullet that went thru Mr.. Sis
trunks body. as the result OF the ac-
cidental discharge Of a pistol in his
hand last Friday. came too near the
vital organs in its course. and he died
at~the hospital at 100 this morning
1t was at first hoped that Mr.. Sis
trunk would recover, and there was
reason for the hope. as he rallied,
and was cheerful and comparatively
free from pain. but Saturday night
he began 10 fail and sank steadily
till the end came.
Internal hemorrhage, against
which his physicians were powerless,
caused his death He did not suffer
much, and was conscious until with
in few hours OF the end
His remains were taken this morn
ing TO the home of his brother. Mr..
S. T. Sistrunk, and many OF his
friends went TO take last look at
his face, which was as calm and
peaceful as one in sleep.
AT noon, the coffin was lifted into
the hearse. which followed by the
relatives and a number of friends,
led the sad cortege to Williston,
the family home, where they will
rest tonight, and at / o'clock tomor-
row morning, after services at the
Baptist church have been conducted
by Rev. Bunyan Stephens, the re-
mains will be laid to their final rest

where he graduated. Some eighteen
years ago, he came to Ocala, and be-
gan the study of law in Judge w. s.
Bullock's office. At that time he be-
came member of a brilliant coterie
of young men, who formed a literary
and debating club, and many can re-
member the occasions on which he,
Jonathan Hoag, Philip Robinson and
one or two others delighted large au-
diences with their debates.
After Mr.. Sistrunk was admitted
to the bar, success came rapidly his
way, and he enjoyed a large practice
until the day of his accident. He
took for while prominent part in
politics, and represented Marion
county in the legislature in 1866.
He could have been reelected had he
seen fit to run again, but declined.
Some half dozen years ago, he was
elected city attorney of Ocala, which
position he held until his death
Mr.. Sistrunk's mother died some
years ago. His father, Mr. ]. L. Sis

Willis, Mrs. J. S. Bitch and Miss
Mrs. Mcneil Lytch of Laurensburg,
S. c., were all here when the end
came, and accompanied his remains
to their last resting place. :
Mr.. Sistrunk was a brave and high
spirited young man, generous to a
fault and had an uncounted mum Der
OF friends. He was a member of the
Elks and the X. of P. He held a
| marked place in the life of Ocala for
almost twenty years, and the regret
OF his friends at his untimely death
is deep and widespread.
