The death of Mr.. Jaynes followed a
Erief Illness. in the course of which
peritonitis developed. Up to within
two weeks of his death he was ap-
parently in mis- usual health and de-
voting every effort to furthering the
cause of the republican party in the
national and state campaigns. Only a
few intimate friends knew of his
really serious condition, which an op-
Grafton demonstrated to be critical

Ohio, December 4, 1872 and was
graduated from Ohio State University
in 1900 He came to Arizona in that
same year. In 1901 he came to Tucson

dent Roosevelt as clerk of the first
district federal court under Judge
John H. Campbell. He occupied that
position until the territory became a
state and also served during the ad
interim judSeship of Richard E. Sloan
after statehood in 1909. In conjunc-
tion with James T. Williams, Jr., now
editor in chief of the Boston Trans
cript, and Frank H Hitchcock, for
mer postmaster general, he purchased
the Tucson Citizen. In 1912 he took
sole charge of its publication. He
built the Citizen into a metropolitan

Strenuous work prior to and at the
Chicago convention which nominated
Harding for president, coupled with
his spending from 16 to 20 hours per
day at his desk in the campaign for
the election of Harding and Campbell
in Arizona, drained Mr.. Jaynes' vi
tality.
Postponed Operation
He was advised to have an opera
ton for appendicitis months ago. But
his keen desire to stay with the cam
paign work led him to believe he could
postpone the operation. On the eve
work and the aggravated attack of ap-
pendicitis. An instant operation was
ordered but peritonitis set IN. In his
condition of spent vitality used up in
the energetic campaign labors, when
he did the labor of two men or more,
proved too much for him.

ated with many prominent men OF
Pinal county. His death will be
shock to a wide circle of friends and
acquaintances in this county as we'll

Simplicity marked the funeral serv-
ices at Tucson Tuesday. The cata-
falque in front of the pulpit was
banked with the most notable display
of floral tributes ever seen in Tucson,
the pews were filled with leading men
from all over the state, come to Tue
son to pay their last tribute of respect
and special seats were reserved for
the employees of the Tucson Citizen.
The services were very simple.
Rev. A. F. Hasse, the pastor, read two
Passages of Scripture and uttered
short prayer. Three vocal numbers
were rendered and brief, eloquent
eulogy was voiced by Governor
Thomas E. Campbell, whose voice was
so choked with emotion that he was
barely able to find utterance.
The Governors Tribute
The governor spoke as follows:
Friends, we are gathered here to-
day to pay tribute to one who just a
few days ago was one of us, and with
these beautiful flowers the handiWOrk
