TONY MITCHELL IS DEAD: After a Short Illness he Succumbs to Consumption

	Monday evening a 5 o’clock Tony Mitchell passed away at his abode on north 5th
street, near the Lacey grove, after a short illness of consumption.  And with
his death a conspicuous figure, who had proved a thorn in the path of the
authorities, has left the community, and officers will never again be troubled
by him.
	There will probably now be a wiping out of the entire Mitchell family, as the
place has become more unbearable than ever, since Tony’s illness begun.  John,
the oldest son, is slated for the reform school, and the various other members
of the family will be dealt with accordingly.
	During the last hours of Tony’s life, he claimed that he had done nothing to
incite the enmity of neighbors and authorities.  He had tried to do well, he
said, but continuous persecution, inflicted upon him on account of the misdeeds
of members of his family, had driven him to desperation, and had committed
outrages for which he regretted.
	The funeral of Tony occurred this afternoon at the A.M.E. church, and the
expense of the funeral and burial will be paid by the city.
