    W. B. Gano, a member of the law firm of Gano, Gano & Gano, and one of the oldest members of the Dallas bar, died Friday evening in Henrotin Hospital in chicago, following a surgical operation made necessary by an injury received in a railway accident two weeks ago. He was located temporarily in Chicago and making his home in one of the suburbs. Going into the city one morning, the train stopped suddenly, throwing him against the back of the seat in front. He regarded the injury as so slight that he said nothing to his Dallas relatives about it. When he thought he had about recovered from it he was induced to undergo an operation, shortly after which he died.

    M. D. Gano, a brother and law partner, left last night for Chicago to accompany the body to Dallas. The time of the funeral will be announced later.
