Believed Hard Task

Torreon, Mex, June 15.--The taking

terra, chief of the central division, is
far from complete. The Huerta forces
still hold Calera, 10 miles north of
Zacatecas, in spite of the first as

the Federals, few days ago, followed
a short skirmish. The Federals are
prepared to withstand long siege.
An ample supply of food also has been
accumulated.

Last Of Commanders at Gettysburg
Passes Away
WIFE WAS AT HIS BEDSIDE
They Had Been Estranged for Years
Later Years Of Life Of the
Warrior Were Full OF
Troubles

New York. May 4.-General Dan
lei e. Sickles died at his home
shortly after 8 o'clock last night.
His wife was at his bedside at the
end.
General Daniel Edgar Sickles was
the last of the great commanders
who fought the battle Of Gettysburg.
For a decade he was q fighter by
profession-all his life he was a
fighter by nature.
His indomitable fighting spirit
remained to the last. Born in New
York city in 1925, Sickles. at the
age of %, fought the Wings as a
Democrat in the New York legisla-
ture. At 20 he displayed his fight
ing spirit as corporation attorney OF
New York. II was he who secured
for his city Its great Central park.
At this time his military career be-
gan as major of the Twelfth regi-
ment, national guard Of New York.
Before he was 32 years old. Ma
Tor Sickles had served as secretary
of legation at London under Min
lister James Buchanan; he had won
a state senatorship through a bit
ter campaign; and he was seated In
the Thirty-fifth congress at Wash
ington.
Sickles had begun his second
term as congressman in 1853 when
the national capital was stirred by
the news that the young represen-
tative from New York had shot and
killed Philip Barton Key, the Unit
ed States district attorney for the
district of Columbia. Sickles de-
clared that Key had misled Mrs.
Sickles, who was Therese Bagioli,
daughter of an Italian music teach
er.
The trial lasted 20 days, ending
in the acquittal of Sickles on the
ground of "unwritten law" He then
took his erring wife back. Mrs.
Sickles died of a broken heart a
few years later.
While minister to Spain, General
sickles married Senonta Creagh
This marriage was followed by an
estrangement lasting quarter OF a
century.
At the outbreak Of the Civil war
sickles raised the famous Excelsior
brigade in New York, taking COM
mand of one of its regiments as
colonel. Lincoln in 1851 raised him
to brigadier general. His fighting
| spirit early won him his spurs.
