Montgomery Ward Dead.
? Chicago. Dec. 7.? Montgomery Ward
| who rose from a day laborer to the
presidency of a mail-order house,
died today at his residence at High
land Park. He was 70 years old and
a multimillionaire.
Death resulted from a complication
of diseases, vliich developed after
two falls. About two years ago, Mr.
Ward slipped on the running board of
an automobile -at Pasadena, Cal., and
broke -one arm and a shoulder blade.
Those injuries forced him to forego all
outdoor amusements. Six weeks ago
he fell in his home and fractured his
right hip. The kidneys were injured
and pneumonia set in
Mr. Ward was born at Chatham,
IN. J., February, 17, 1843, the family
coming west when he was 8 years
old. He advanced himself by hi^ own
endeavors until at his doath his wealth
is reliably estimated at $15,000,000.
Mr. Ward's long continued and suc
cessful wfTorts to prevent the erection
of buildings in Grant park won for
him the name of "The Watch Dog of
the Lake Front."

Winston-Salem, Dec. 7. ? That the

member of the local company^k
equipped with Identification tag* such
as are used in time of service and
also to see ^hat the fall equipment
of the company is In good serviceable

For some time the local militiamen
have been anticipating active service
should war cotte with Mexico and
the past week's development* have
heightened the opinion that within
the next few montfis the local com
