Captain Jesse S. Garwood of the United States secret service department died in Wise Memorial Hospital (now Clarkson Memorial Hospital) at 8:30 Monday morning from appendicitis. He suffered a severe cold a few weeks ago while working on some land cases up in the vicinity of Alliance. The sickness later merged into lagrippe. Appendicitis developed last Thursday and he was taken to the Wise Memorial hospital to be operated upon. The disease had gained too strong a hold upon him for permanent relief by the operation and death ensued Monday morning.
Captain Garwood was a veteran of the Spanish-American war, having been commissioned as a captain in the Forty-seventh United States volunteers. Upon the disbanding of the volunteer army, Captain Garwood was appointed to a similar position in the Philippine Constabulary and served there with Captain Wallace Taylor of Omaha, with whom he was closely intimate, but subsequently serving in another department of the Islands. His health failed him through constant exposure there and he returned to the United States after recuperating his health somewhat he was appointed to a reasonable position in the secret service department of the government. He was engaged in the investigations of the Colorada land and timber frauds, and was working with Captain Joseph Walker at the time of his assassination near Durango, last fall. He was then called to Nebraska and has been working in this state since. He has been in Omaha about two months, and was regarded as one of the most efficient men in the service.
Captain Garwood was an Iowan, and is survived by his wife, who was at his bedside at the time of his death. His age was 34 years.
