Nation, sixty-six years old, who gained celebrity by her use of a hatchet in the cause of prohibition, died here lust night of paresis in the Evergreen sanitarium. She was admitted to the sanitarium January 22 suffering from nervous breakdown. Although it has been reported several times since she came here that she was dead, her death was not expected until several days ago. Spends Months In Seclusion. Mrs. Nation In tho sanitarium was Incapable of even managing her own business affairs, all trace of the bold prohibition worker had disappeared when her Iron constitution began to fail, and she spent the last five months of her life In seclusion, no ono but relatives and hospital attendants being allowed to see her. When told several days ago that she would die, Mrs. Nation made no comment. Only Dr. A. L. Suwalksy nnd a nurse were with her when death came. Was Born In Kentucky.
