FUNSTON

HEART FAILURE.
Great Sorrow Expressed in Washing

Regarded: Heavy Border Du-
ties Thought the Cause

San Antonio, Tex, Feb. 19.-Maj.-
Gen. Frederick Funston, commander
of the southern department Of the
Unitep States Army since February,
1918, died suddenly at a hotel here
1915, died suddenly at a hotel here
tonight a few minutes after heh ad
finished dinner. He collapsed while
seated in the lobby of the hotel talk
ing with friends, and was playing with
little lnez Silyerberg of Des Moines,
Iowa, guest with her parents at the
hotel, when he fell unconscious.
Death was almost instantaneous.
Gen. Funston was 81 years old.
Ever since March, 1916, when he was
placed in command of all United States
forces on the Mexican border, Gen.
Funston had worked at an unusual
pace. At critical times in border de-
velopments he frequently remained on
duty twenty hours of the twenty-four.
The handling of regulars disposed of
at various stations on the border, the
Pershing expedition, and of late, re-
oUqM sdooIl IgIu5eI 10 luoma
providing for the return of national
guardsmen have entailed an enor-
nous amount of detail work, probably
exceeding that which fell to any com
manding general Of the United States
amy since the civil war Only today
Gem EGn Il SO coulnlgskl Qriers Ger the
return Of the last Of the guardsmen
Because of the amount of work which
has fallen to him, Gen. Funston's on
ly recreation or relaxation for nearly
year has been an occasionl dinner
party with friends.
Only recently Gen Funston returned
from an inspection trip which took
him as far as Nogales, Arizona. That,
with one trip to Brownsville, Tex, and
a brief visit to Austin, Texas, last
year, were the only occasions when he
has been absent from his desk since
the border trouble developed.
Two weeks ago Gen. Funston suf-
fered an attack of Indigestion. To use
his own expression Il fought it out
alone" Later he placed himself un-
der the care af Lieut.. Col. N. M. Ire
land, of the medical corps, and regain
ed normal health and spirits. "For
three days" Col. Ireland said tonight,
Gen. Funston had been entirely we'll"
Nevertheless at dinner tonight Gen.
Funston was particularly abstemious
and ate only sparingly of the simplest
dishes.
Col. Malvern Hill Barnum, Gen.
Funston's chief of staff, Immediately
notified the war department of Gen.
Funston's death. News was also dis
patched to Mrs. Funston, who is visit
ing her father in California. No ar
rangements for Gen. Funston's funeral
have been made.
Gen. Funston's last words were in
admiration of a waltz the hotel or
chestra was plaing,
"How beautiful it is" he said Then
he lapsed into unconsciousness.
Besides his wife, Gen. Funton is
survived by three children, Frederick,
Jr, aged ten years. Barbara, nine, and
Elizabeth, aged 8 months.

case of much Importance in our courts
in which he is not employed on one
side or the other He has splendid
knowledge of law and believes in up
holding its majesty. The rights of the
people and of the state would be safe
in his hands. Should he be elected he
would not only enforce the law but at
the same time guard the interests Of
the taxpaers from ruthless expen-
diture of money.
1t goes without the saying that he
will have the. unanimous support of
the local bar and Haywood county will
be found in the Bond column. He is
we'll and most favorably known thru
out the circuit and has host Of
friends in the various counties who
will gladly lend him their support.
