Drew rallied several times but he invariably suffered relapses, each setting the actor lower in the scale than he had been previously. On 9, following a relapse, the physicians issued their first bulletin admitting thatJJrew's condition was Through all this suffering Drew was cheerful, his mind keen and he showed great interest in the flood of telegrams arriving from friends in all parts of the world. The vitality of the actor and his unwillingness to admit that he was playing his last part on the stage of life was declared by those who attended him to be the only reason he survived so long.

The 150th hour was up at 12 noon. He was walking through Brackenridge park when the noon-dav whistles shrieked that he had attained his goal and, as he turned to speak to the nurse accompanying him, he collapsed. First aid measures failed to revive him and he was taken to his home where surgeons used brute strength to awaken him. They kept him awake for 30 minutes and then allowed him to drop off into a deep slumber.

But his sleep will not be unbroken, for every five hours he will be awakened and kept awake for 30 minutes.

two weeks ago and fn spite of her increasing age and weakness, Mrs. Stevenson had clung to the habits of an active life. Mrs. Stevenson was a pioneer, not only of El Paso, where she had resided 47 vears, but for 30 before her coming to this city, of California, to which she came in 1850 in the first great gold rush. She was born Miss Annie Maupin at Columbia, Boone county, Missouri, on October 23, 1837.

She was the daughter of Thomas C. Maupin, one of the pioneers of Missouri, who was linked with the early history of California and later of this section, In 1850 Mrs. Stevenson, then a girl of 13, with her family left for Cali-I fornia and the golden west. It was long before the first transcontinental railroad. The journey was made in a covered wagon across the plains of the midwest.

Ihe peril from hostile Indians at that time was a real one, but the little party came through safely. Then came the difficult journey 1 through the passes of the Rockies and over the mountains of the Pa- i cific coast. The family finally stopped at San Francisco bay, near where the city of Oakland stands. Mr. Maupin had done much for William Truesdell, Pioneer Of Texas, Dies Friday Night William Edward Truesdell, 72, southwestern pioneer, died at his home, 614 Prospect avenue, at 7 oclock Friday night.

The stories of Mrs. Leboeuf and Dr. Thomas E. Dreher, druggist and leading physician of Morgan City, check perfectly. The trapper, James Beadle, refuses, however, to admit he had any part in the weird affair, which is said to have taken place a I week ago while the Leboeufs, Dr.

I Dreher and the trapper were boating in the moonlight in one of the many shallow lakes which dot this region. According to the double confession Leboeuf was induced to join the boating party by the small town doctor and his paramour so that they could dispose of him. Mrs. Leboeuf succeeded in arranging that the party should use separate was in the first; Mrs. Leboeuf followed in a second, i and Dr.

This continued until 1900, when Mr. Truesdell moved to El Paso. Here he was interested in a number of business enterprises, one being with Tom Powers in the operation of the old Coney Island saloon. The partnership lasted until prohibition, since which time Mr. Truesdell had not been actively engaged in business.
