JOHN W. BURNS DIES OF TUBERCULOSIS
John W. Burns, Aged 43 years, a brother of M. D. and Robert Burns, both well known employees of the Santa Fe Railroad in this city, died yesterday afternoon at two o'clock at St. Mary's hospital, where he had long been a patient in the tubercular ward. He came here about two years ago for his health, but was too far gone for the climate to do him permanent good. The body has been removed to the Dilley undertaking rooms and will be shipped, probably tomorrow morning, to his old home in Clarion, Wright county, Iowa.
