GEORGE SHELTON DIES IN WASHINGTON { Was Chief of Staff of 26th ! Division Overseas Dur- ing World War. Word has been received in this city of the death of Colonel George iH. Sheiton at Washington, D. C. | Colonel Shelton died in g hospital |there at 8 o'clock last night. It is with special regret that Berlin peo- ple will learn of his death, as he was to have spoken at the dedication of | the war memorial there next Thurs- day. Colonel Shelton is survived by his wife and one brother, William Shelton of Bassett street, this city. Colonel Shelton had seen active service in the U. S. army for 24 years. In 1892 he took the competi- | tive examinations for appointment | to the United States military acadamy at West Point, at New Haven, with 20 others. He ranked highest and was formally appointed. What made the honor the greater was the fact that he had only received an ordin- ary common school education while some college graduates took the ex- aminations with him. While West Point he became well known as an athlete and in one football game between the Army and Navy played halfback for the Army and suffered a broken jaw. He was graduated from the academy in 1896 and was commissioned in the Eleventh U. S. Infantry then at Arizona. When the Spanish he was. ordered with the scenes of the hostilities and gained an enviable record self here. While there he w the command of General Swann and was with him in Porto Rico when the enemy surrendered. { While in the Philippines he served under General F. D. Grant, who thought a great deal of Colonel Shel- ton, then a captain. The following letter was written by Brigadier Gen- eral Grant to Captain Shelton before the former left the Philippines. i “Hdqs. 6th Separate Brigade, Toclobau, Leyte, P. I. “Aug. 14, 1902 “Capt.

New York, Nov. 3.—The republican | landslide continued to roll along in' even greater proportions today as be- lated election returns came the West.
