Gen. George B. Cosby; Leader of
Conf ederacy, Commits Suicide
Ends Agonies Doctors Failed to Cure When He Nears
\u25a0 Age of 80 by Turning on Gas in His Room ?
OAKLAND, \u25a0 June 29. — General
George B. Cosby, one of the last sur
viving commanders iof the , confed
erate army, committed- suicide this,
morning by inhaling gas at his
home, 45S Fairmont street. Long
continued illness and the recent
failure .of his customary remedies
to relieve his Incessant suffering
were the causes which led up to
the deed. He was 79 years of age.
A decade ago General Cosby was
stricken with paralysis, from which
he never completely recovered, and
his latter years were spent in ln
validism. For a long time his phy
sicians adminiJttred drugs'.Regu
larly; to quiet the p»ln which, he
constantly endured, but during the
last few, months the opiates seemed
to be losing their effect, and the
aged warrior suffered Intensely.
Last night, when' he retired, he
refused to take his usual medicine,
but the members of -his family at
tached no Importance to this, think
ing- it merely a whim of age. It
appears now, however, that he had
planned his self-destruction ahead
of time, for when his son, aroused
by the odor of escaping gas, burst
Into his room this morning, he found
that his parent had been dead for
an hour, while an open gas jet had
filled the place with the deadly
fumes.
General Crosby was not * only a
veteran of the civil war, but saw
active service In the Indian cam
paigns In the latter fifties. He was
born of a distinguished family in
Kentucky in 18 JO. His father.
Fortunatus Cosby Jr., was promi
nent in the" public life of Kentucky
for many years, and his grandfather,
Fortunatus Cosby, was the first cir
cuit Judge N>f that state. A brother
was the late Rear Admiral Cosby of
the United States navy.
George B. Cosby was graduated
from the military academy at West
Point in 1852, and served for. .1*
sears thereafter in tne regular army
TEAM FALLS OVER
RAILWAY TRESTLE
Valuable Horses Both Killed in
Runaway Following Steam
Blast From Engine
OAKLAND, June 29. — A valuable
team of horses owned by Harry *H.
Hender*cn, a master house mover, ran
away early this morning from Ninth
street and Broadway, kicked loose from
a heavy wagon and nearly crossed the
north arm of the estuary on the South
ern Pacific railway trestles before they
fell. One of the animals, plunged off
the trestle into the mud ana water and
was drowned," while the other, slipping
on the. ties, was so seriously disabled
that Henderson ordered It shot.
The runaway occurred at 3 o'clock
this morning. Henderson's crew was
working -on the removal of an. old
school building from the Lincoln school
lot.". The building was let ..stand, at
Ninth street, Just east of BroaQway,
yesterday, and after the streetcars, had
stopped running last night the house
moving crew went toNlnth' street and
Broadway to take the building .across
Broadway and Washington street. -•
The work was not even " started. A
sudden, blast of steam' from the safety
valve of a' donkey engine, which was
mounted on a wagon and drawn by the
team, ': scared the horses. They bolted
down Ninth" street, then made Seventh
at Webster and .; finally struck the
trestle by which- the local trains cross
the channel. -The horses • ran ; nearly
across the , channel on the ties, which
are a foot apart, before falling through
the trestlework. - \
The team was valued at $800 by Hen
derson. ' i : V-s^^
