Years, Succumbs After
Operation.

CHICAGO, April 30.-Emerson
Hough, author for thirty years OF
popular works, died in a hospital
here today.
An operation was performed Sat
urday night in an effort to relieve
him of a chronic intestinal malady
which attacked him afresh last
Thursday.
Hough's most recent work that
greatly heightened his popularity
was THE Covered Wagon" adapted
only lately to motion pictures.
The authors widow is his sole
survivor. Hough was born in New
ton, Iowa. and was sixtY-one years
old. He was graduated in 1880
from the State University of Iowa.
Hough was noted for his fondness
for the out Of doors. Most OF his
writings were of that tinge. In 1895
he toured Yellowstone Park on skis,
and it was through his efforts after
this that legislation was enacted
for the protection of the rapidly
perishing buffalo herds.
