Hawley was a vieiliu of overwork
physicians having long wt.rned him
that his strict attention In husito-sn
was weakening his constitution so
thai he could not withstand illness.
Ho vvtis taken with a severe attack of
grip two weeks ago and uenth occur-
red at 4 o'clock this morning.
The death of Hawley had a disturb-
ing effect on all the stocks of railroads
in which he was interested. He al-
ways insisted that he would quit
work when his dream of a transcon-
tinental rai'road was realized and he
died wi'h this idea still in contem-
plation. Hawley was born at Cht'tham N.
Y in IS.'O and started his. railroad
career as a messenger at four dollars
a week. He administered Ilarriman'si
only defeat and was connected with
numerous railroad enterprises many
of which he controlled. He was as-
sociated with li. F. Yoakum In thu
Frisco.
It. waa announced on the stock ex-
change that Hawtey's death was due
to heart disease. Friends t aid this
was brought on by acute indigestion.
