HEARTY LAUGH KILLED
JUDGE EWART IN CHICAGO.

j. B. Fortune, of Chicago, writing
to the Cleveland IN. CO. Star, had
the following to say relative to Judge
Ewart:
On the morning of April "a on
looking over the morning papers,
here is what / saw:
"The strain of a hearty laugh af-
ter a dance caused the death last
night of Henry G. Ewart, so years
old, former judge of the circuit court
at Hendersonville, N. c., at a ball
given by the Lonesome club in Co.
lonial Hall, 20 West Randolph street.
"Mr. Ewart had been admitted to
the bar in Illinois and. was p~racticing
as an attorney at 154 West Randolph
street.
ellis death was caused by an attack
of heart disease. He had accompa-
MED Miss Betrice Jolliffe, of the
Drexel Arms hotel, to the dance.
which was given for soldiers and sal
lors, and was sitting talking to he1
and a few other friends when his
heart failed

North Carolina, and whose nomlna-
tion was defeated for confirmation
bv the opposition of Senator. Butler
Of North Carolina, who fought the
confirmation of his nomination in the
limited States senate. What has inn
pressed me about the life and death
of Judge Ewart is this: Twenty

Carolina and being appointed judge
and the fight Senator Butler made
against his confirmation, caused his
name to be upon the lips of every
man. woman and child in the State.
Now, after twenty years he comes to

lima, dies suddenly and | have read
carefully every daily and weekly pa
per from North Carolina that l have
been able to get and l have not seen
even a notice of his death printed in
any North Carolina papers that l
have been able to see.
It seems that his oath has not been
heard of in North Carolina. Such is
life in this big, busy world of ours.
