The second party, headed by con-
 gressman Hayden, includes Governor

THOMAS F. WEED|N ANSWERS FINAL
 SUMMONS
Arizona Pioneer Comes to End of a Busy Life and Travels to the Un- seen Bourne

PHOENIX-Funeral services for the late Thomas F. Weedin, register of the United States land office, whose death occurred Saturday night, will be held at the parlors of Moore and Mcclellan tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. The services will be con- ducted by Rev. Cruthchfield.
 ID compliance with a request of the deceased his remains will be sent to Los Angeles where they will be ere mated the ashes returned to Florence to be deposited beside the body of his wife. The following have been select | ed as pail bearers: Lewis T. Carpen- ter, Frank P. Trott, Thomas A. Flyn, SeIim Nicholson, Joseph P. Dillon and Judge William H. Sawtelle.
 Deceased had been in failing health for several years, a sufferer from that insidious malady, Bright's disease, and it was recently aggravated by an infected toe, when he was taken to the hospital and underwent an oper- ation. While this was successful and complete, recovery of the infected member was effected, the infection had so aggravated the other diseases that it's progress could not be arrest ed. He is survived by an only daugh- ter, Miss Jennie F. Weedin, who was with him during his entire illness.
 Col. Weedin was one of Arizona s best known citizens, coming here about thirty-six years ago, locating first in Tombstone, where he remained one year, going thence to Florence where he resided until receiving the appointment as register of the land office when he came to Phoenix.
 The major portion of his life has been in connection with the newspaper business, commencing as news boy at the age of nine years on the Kan. ses City Times, later learning the trade of compositor and advancing through every department, until he had mastered every phase of the busi ness.
 His first venture as proprietor and editor was in Brownsville, Tennessee where he established the Brownsville Democrat and two years later moved to Nebraska to become the editor oi the Fremont Daily Herald and in the following year became the city edi tor of the Omaha Herald.
 In Arizona he established the Flor ence Enterprise, which he conducted until receiving the appointment as tclerk of the court at that place. Al the close of his term of office he es tablished the Blade later consolidat ing it with the Tribune, as the Blade
