ALUMNI NOTES.
Death cf An Alumnus.
Last Sunday afternoon, there occur-
1 ed at St. Joseph’s Infirmary, Houston,
Texas, the death of Henry Kyle, an
esteemed alumnus of the college and a
man prominent in the agricultural
activities of the state. Mr. Kyle had
contracted ptomaine poisoning a few
days previously, due to his eating a
can of salmon, and it was deemed ad
visable to remove the appendix which
had become infected. However the
poison had so weakened his system,
that he was unable to survive the
operation, and he passed away early
Sunday evening. For the rest of the
day, the body lay in state at Dr. J.
Allen Kyle’s residence, from whence
it was conveyed to Victoria for inter
ment. Monday evening the funeral
services were held at 3 p. m. under the
auspices of the Masonic order, Rev.
L. E. Selfridge of the Presberterian
church of Bay City officiating.
Mr. Kyle was 34 years of age at
the time of his demise. Born in
