in while Mr.. Maxwell was putting up
gritty battle for his life against
seven broken ribs and dislocation of
the left hip. He had been making con-
siderable progress in mis- battle to
overcome death and his condition did
not become critical until Thursday
afternoon, when fever and congestion
of his lungs set in. Maxwell was de-
lirious before he expired $40 o'clock
this morning.

ing for the University of Chicago, and
