DATTON, O., May M.-Followlne a
(Inking spell and a chill that developed
oon after midnight, Wilbur Wright,
tho noted aviator, died of typhoid fever
at 3.13 A. it. to-day. Wright had been
lingering on tho border for several
day, and although his condition from
time to time gave some hopes to mem
brrs of his family, tho attending physi
clans, Urs. D. ), Conklln and Levi
Bpltler, maintained throughout tho Ut
ter part of his sickness that ho could
not recover.
, When tho noted patient succumbed
to the fever that had been racking Ills
body for days and nights he was sur
rounded by tho members of his family,
which Included his aged father. Bishop
Milton Wright; Miss Catherine Wright,
Orvllle, tho co-Inventor of tho aero
plane: Iteuchlln Wright and Lorln
Wright. All of the family resUo In
this city except Kcuchlln, viho lives In
Kansas.
UNUSUAL CHILL PUZZLED THE'
DOCTORS.
The most alarming symptoms In
Wright's sickness developed yesterday
shortly before noon, when his fever
suddcnlyl mounted from lui up to 103 and
then quickly subsided :o Its former
.stage. At this Juncture of tho crisis
the patient was seized with chills nnJ
tho uttendlug physicians wcro baffled
by thu turn of events. Chll.j wcro un
usual In a patient suffering from fever
this high and the doctors at Wright's
bedside wcro puzzled. The condition ot
tho aviator remained unchanged through
out thu lest of tha day and theio waa
no Improvement up until lis: midnight.
Then Wright began to show an Im
provement and tho watchers at his bed
side wcro reassured. After resting for
a few hours after last midnight Wright
took a sudden turn for tho woriJ and
hU principal physician, Dr. I), li.
Conklln. was called. Tho Uocor ai
llvcd at 3.'.'j, and learned that Wright
had breathed his last ten minutes
before.
The noted patient was seized with
typhoid May 4 while on a bualnoJj trip
In tho East. On that diy hu returned
to Dayton from lioston und consulted
Dr. Conklln. the family physician. Ho
took to his bed almost Immediately and
It was several diys biforo his case was
dollnltely diagnosed as typhoid.
Throughout tho early pait of his Ill
ness Wright attributed his slcknets to
some fish that he hud eatun at a llos
ton hotel. Ho explained to his physl
clan, howovcr, t.iat he had no particu
lar reason to believe that tho dlncats
originated from this source.

A committee, of fifty men, all of them
expert students of horses, Inspected the
animals before the start and picked out
tho (prize winners. Tho horses were
Judged on their condition, on tho slgm
they showed of good treatment and on
the neatness of their turnouts. Kach

award of one of eljht grades of prize

varying from two to twenty-flvo dollars.
