John H. Bauman, receiver of the land office at Tucson, 
died on Sunday.  For several days before his death he was 
so ill that all hope of his recovery was abandoned.  The 
news of his death was received by Acting Governor Nichols 
in a letter from George J. Roskruge.  The matter of 
choosing a successor to him is already being discussed 
in the southern part of the territory.

Mr. Bauman was a sufferer of tuberculosis.  It was on 
account of that disease that he came to the territory 
several years ago.  He settled in the northern part of 
the territory taking an active part in republican 
affairs in Coconino County.  He was living in the eastern 
part of that county when it was divided.  His home was at 
Holbrook and he held many positions of trust and 
responsibility in the new county of Navajo.  He was 
appointed receiver of the Tucson land office about 
seven years ago to succeed Judge E.R. Monk, who had 
held the office during the last Cleveland administration.  
Mr. Bauman was a native of Indiana.  He leaves a wife 
and family and one of his sons is engaged in business 
at Tucson.  Whatever arrangements for the funeral that 
may have been made, are unknown here.
