— ij ant COTA PROMIMIE GOVERNOR SUCCUMBS BRAVE MAN FINALLY LOSES IN HIS LONG, GRIM BATTLE: WITH THE ANGEL OF DEATH. END CAME QUIETLY AT 3:25 THIS MORNING In the Presence of His Devoted Wits and Faithful» Friends at His Bedside, He Dies Without Regaining Conscious- ness. Rochester, Sept. 22.—Governor Johnson died at 3:25 a.m. Since mid- night his death had been expected, but 2:30 the thread of life still held, and it began to look again as if hie remarkable vitality would hold him up till daylight. He lingered thus till 3:25 when, still unconscious, the brave heart gave a last flicker and the tor- tured body gave up the ghost. His wife, and a few old friends were at the bedside, and Frank Day and Fred Lynch were held in an ante room awaiting the dread summons. At 3 o’clock yesterday the governor | was as well as he had been at any time since the operation perfornied Wednesday. Suddenly he began to fail, and by 7 o'clock his condition had become so bad that Dr. M. J. Mayo announced that the end was approach- ing. Two hours later it was predicted that he would not live beyond mid- night. He fell then into a semi-com- atose condition, in which he hovere@ for the rest of the night. Midnight passed, and 1 o’clock, and 2, and he still lived. There was none so brave, however. as to hold out hope. It was thought he might live till drawn, he might linger at death’s door even longer; but before this day is well upon its way the doctors were assured he would have crossed the threshold of that por- tal, and the state and the nation would be in mourning. The bulletins of the afternoon and evening tell the solemn story of the governor’s decline. They follow in the order in which they were given out: 3 p. m—Dr. Charles Mayo at 8 o'clock said: “The governor is not dying. He was in as good condition en hour ago as on Sunday. This hour, however, is the turning point. If he grows much weaker then you can say he is dying. Frank Day tele- phoned at 2 o’clock, and we informed him that the critical time had arrived. Governor Johnson realizes his weak- mess. He said to me a moment ago: ‘I don’t feel as strong as I did this | morning.’ Last night we confidently expected that the governor would live. The bulletins pointed this way. To- night alone can tell.” 3:50 p. m.—The governor is slightly nauseated, is restless and weak. He is not dying. He may rally, as he did before, and take more nourishment. He dozed for about 15 minutes a while ago. What he neds is sleep. 5 p. m—Pulse 132, temperature 100, respiration very hurried, 38. Progres- sively growing weaker; condition is now extremely grave. Dr. William Mayo has been summoned from his farm ten miles out. 6 p. m—Pulse 136, temperature 100.5, respiration 36. Not so well to- might. Dr. Will and Dr. Charles Mayo have just returned from a 30 minutes’ consultation in the sick room. The governor is entirely conscious, but very weak and not picking up. “I would not say he is going to die, but I'll admit he has not an even chance.” said Dr. Will Mayo. “This is not a ‘sinking spell, nor is it a bad attack. The patient is simply weak, and the next few hours will tell the tale.” This is not like the two other real sinking spells, but a wearing out. He is not a bit comatose. Has re- tained some nourishment during the past hour. 6:30 p. m.—Pulse 138, respiration B6. The governor is still conscious, ‘Dut he has failed rapidly in the past half hour. The wound is clean. 7 p. m—The governor has been sinking rapidly in the last 40 minutes, Dr. William Mayo says he does not expect him to live more than two hours. He may live longer, but the ebances are only one in ten. 8 p. m.—Dr. Beckman of Minneapo- jis has just left the hospital. He said the had just seen the governor and he was still conscious but very weak. ‘The governor recognized him. “If the governor dies I think it will be along toward morning,” he said. “He is not taking nourishment, but they have not given him any artificigl stimulants.” 8:15 p. m—Mrs. Johnson has just sent down the following piteous ap- peal: “Mrs. Johnson sends this mes- wage: She wants all of Governor Johnson’s people to pray for him mow.” 10 p. m.—Frank Day, the governor's private secretary, and Fred P. Lynch |of the southern part of the state. | poses. ‘of St. Paul, Democratic national com- mitteeman, have just arrived. They were met at the depot by J. W. Kohl er, who hurried them to the hospital in his automobile. : 10:15 p. m—The governor 1s drop ‘ping into a state of unconsciousness from which he now and then awakens momentarily. Dr. E. S. Judd has just come from the room. He said it will all be over by midnight. Frank Day and Fred B. Lynch are here, but at Mrs. Johnson’s request will not try |, to see the governor in his dying mom- ents. The governor is suffering no pain but is simply fading into the great beyond. 1035 p. m—“Oh, how slowly the time drags!” Governor Johnson has just uttered these, words. He says nothing concerning his approaching end., His pulse is becoming so weak that it can be counted with ease. Two hours ago it was 140, and difficult to count. 11:10 p. m.—The superintendent of nurses just entered the room. As he entered the door the governor said: “I am so uncomfortable.” He is now almost pulseless. @ 11:20 p. m.—The governor appar ently is suffering at this hour, for he groans. Miss Sullivan has just left the room and gone to the fourth floor to inform Frank Day of the gov- ernor’s condition. Dr. W. J. Mayo says he may live an hour longer. 1:15 a. m.—The governor is con- scious by spells. His pulse is just countable, at 180. There is absolute- ly no hope. He must die within next few hours. The governor knows he is going to die, and talks about it, although not in any connected fashion due to delirium. Mrs. Johnson is be- side the bed and is endeavoring to hold herself together. McCUMBER BEGINS TOUR. Defends the New Tariff Law and Says He Acted in True Faith. Wahpeton, N. D., Sept. 22.—United States Senator Porter J. McCumber has opened his campaign for re-elec- tion and is now on an automobile tour He has already delivered addresses at several places and purposes to reach every section of the commonwealth before the primary election next June. The senator gives the greatest amount of attention to the tariff inas- much as he has been consured as a result of his position. He says he has nothing to apologize for, but that, in- stead, he has acted in true faith with the people of the state and that the new law is really a reduction as com- pared with the old Dingley law. SECURES OPTIONS. Another Main Line Cut-Off Believed to Be Contemplated. New Rockford, N. D., Sept. 22.—The Great Northern railroad is securing options on property in Wells, Foster and Eddy counties, and the belief is expressed here that the company in- tends to build another main line cut- off running from some point on the Casselton-Devils Lake line to Minot, traversing a country almost parallel to the Soo line., The company has secured options on eighty acres adjoining the townsite of New Rockford, and it has also ob- tained right-of-way through a newly. platted addition. In Wells county it las secured options on two pieces of property that will, should the line go through, be used for townsite pur- It also has one townsite option in Foster county. New Rockford is especially interest- ed in the proposition as it hopes to become the division point, should the line be put through.
