CONFESSES TO MURDER; MAJOR DANFORTH IS SUMMONED BY DEATH Bemidji Man, Oldest Conductor "in State, Dies in Minneapolis at Advanced Age. LEFT LAST WEEK TO ATTEND THE FUNERAL OF HIS SISTER Shock Too Great for Aged Man—Was Father-in-law of T. J. Miller. Major T. K. Danforth, who for t'ie last ten years has made h's home with his son in-law, T. J. Miller of this eity, died to- day in Minneapolis at the home of relatives. He had gone to the city to attend the funeral of his sister, and the shock of bereave- ment was too great for the old man. - He was 83 years of age. Majr Danforth left Bemidji just a week ago and at the time of going was not in the best of health. The recent death of his daughter, Mrs. T. J. Miller, had almost prostrated him and when the death of his sister, the re maining member of a large family, with the exception of himself, was announced, his {friends here feared that he could not survive the blow. Details of Major Danforth’s illness and last hours are lacking, the only information received by Mr. Miller being a telegram sajy- ing that the aged man was dead. Mr. Miller will leave for the city tonight, and burial will be in Minneapclis, where the rest of the family are interred. Major Danforth was born in Boston, Mass, and moved to Minnesota in 1853 with. his twin brother. That was before the day of the railroad in this part of the country, and the trip was made overland in a ‘‘prairie schooner.” Mr. Danforth first settled in St. Paul and lived there until 1876, when T. J. Miller married his daughter, and he moved to Minneapolis. His home huas been there since, up to five years ago, when he came with the Miller’s to this city. For the first few years whilein St. Paul Major Danforth drove a stage for one of the express com- panies, and when the railroads were built, went into the railroad business. He first cast his for- tunes with the St. Paul & Pacific and in time worked up to the position of passenger conductor. 25: DISCOUNT .ON SHIRTS!.

Major Danforth was one of the best known railroad menin the state and had the honor of being the oldest living conductor in Minnesota.
