H.W. CREMER DEAD - - Captain Harrison W Cremer, for many years a business man of this city, died yesterday at his home, Twenty-first and Webster streets, of apoplexy, aged 54 years.

Some years ago loss of sight led to his practical retirement from business. He had acquired considerable property, including the flats on Fifteenth and Chicago, flats on Thirteenth and Chicago, and residence property on Twenty-first Street between Webster and California. Captain Cremer was a member of the Loyal Legion, which will conduct his burial.
