WM. SIDNEY BOND IS DEAD

He Was a Young Writer of Considerable Promise.

William Sidney Bond, son of Squire W.T. Bond of Bond's Station and a young writer of considerable promise, died in Denver, Colo., Wednesday evening at 6:15 o'clock. Tuberculosis was the immediate cause of his death. He had suffered from the disease for several months, and about three months ago left Memphis for Denver, in the hope of effecting a cure. He grew steadily worse until his death Wednesday.

With Mr. Bond at the time of his death was his father, who left Denver last night for Memphis with the remains. He will arrive here over the Frisco Saturday morning at 8:25 o'clock. The funeral will be held on Saturday at 2 p.m.

Mr. Bond was still young, only 29 years old, but had shown considerable ability as a writer. His book, "His Struggle Magnificent," which came out a little over a year ago, was considered a good literary effort, and was very popular. He left another work, almost finished, when he started for the West. Up until a few days before leaving for Denver he was part owner and editor of the "Harpoon," a weekly paper published here. He was a member of the Methodist church at Bartlett, Tenn.

He is survived by his father W.T. Bond; his mother, Mrs. Hallie Deeson Bond; one brother, Dana Bond, and one sister, Miss Katie Bond, all of Bond's Station.
