DIES OF old ACE

Washington, May 3o.-Colonel John
S. Mosby, the most famous Confed-
crate raider of the Civil War, died here
today after a long illness. He was 4
native of Virginia and was 81 years
old
Colonel Mosby's death, his physicians
said, was due solely to old age, and he
was conscious and interested in what
was going on about him until an hour
before he passed away.
Until six months ago when he went
into a sudden decline, he was a ia

his age. He will be buried at his an
cestral home at Warrenton, Va, prob
ably Thursday and some survivors of
