He vas 52 years old. Diabetes was the trouble that first began to undermine his vitality about eleven years ago. Some time ago he spent nearly a year in California, and finally came back apparently some what better. About the mdidle of last April he suffered an attack of grippe, and since that time had been unable to at tend to his work at .he World-Herald. Born In Blackstone, Mass. Ernest C. Hunt was born in Black stone, Mass., July 1, 1864. He attended the public schools and later the local academy. After his graduation he did reportorial work on a newspaper in Blackstone. He came to Omaha in 1887. Soon after arriving in Omaha he became connected witli the edi torial department of The Bee. For a time he had charge of The Bee's news bureau at Council Bluffs. Later Mr. Hunt came to this side of the river and continued wit'i The Bee, his entire employment covering a period of seven years. Following this, he quit the newspaper game tor a time, for two years being engaged in the promotion business in the Black Hills. He was connected with the pro motion department of the Transmis sissippi exposition, and vhen it closed he went to the editorial department of the World-Herald.

A sister resides in Omaha. The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock from Forest Lawn chapel. The large number of friends which Mr. Hunt had was shown by the many expressions of regret heard in the offices of the federal building, where he was very well known. He had a sort of humorous brusqueness of manner which was distinctive of him and a pleasing part of his personality. The pallbearers will tie: R. C. Cravm, Robert F. Glider, H. B. Ncwbranch.
