Death of Earl Andrews.
Promising Young Base Ball Player Passed Away This Morning.
Earl Andrews, the only son of Septimus Andrews, of the commercial rooming house, died this morning shortly after one o'clock at the Arkansas City Hospital after an illness of about two weeks. The cause of the young man's death was typhoid fever and hemorrhage. Earl Andrews was nineteen years of age and was taken away in the very prime of life. He was a fine young man and had a multitude of friends in Arkansas City where he had lived all his lifetime. Earl came home from Cushing, Okla., two weeks ago suffering from an attack of typhoid fever. He was at once given the best of medical attention and for a time it was thought that he would wear out the disease. But later on the hemorrhages came upon him and he grew steadily worse until the end came this morning.
Earl Andrews was a promising young base ball pitcher and from the time he could throw a base ball he showed marked cleverness in the line of pitching.
His many friends had hoped to see him some day among the big teams. He had been given a chance to try out with several different leagues and signed up to play with Wichita at the beginning of the season. Later in the season he played some with the Arkansas City team in the Kansas State league and still later signed up with the Cushing, Okla., team in the "Katy" league. On this team he was manager and pitcher. When he came home sick two weeks ago his team was in the lead and stood excellent chances of winning the pennant.
Funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Kirkpatrick & Shaffer undertaking parlors. Rev. A.V. Francis, of the Episcopal church will conduct the services and interment will be made in Riverview cemetery.
