A Sudden Death.
Walter Johnson dropped dead
about 6:30 Wednesday evening
while wotkiugin Waltcmath's sa
loon. He was wailing upon several
customers when he suddenly fell
forward on the counter, where he
was caught and laid upon the floor,
lie gave several gaspa and then ex
pired. Dr. McCabe was hastily
summoned, but announced no hope,
and that the cause of death was
heart failure.
The deceased had lived in town
for a number. of years, and was
never known to do an ungentle
manly act. lie was honest,
straightforward, extremely oblig
ing and iievsr let an opportunity
pass by to do a favor to a friend.
By reason ot these characteristics
he wna justly popular, and his sud
den death is deeply regretted by
all who knew him. Walter was to
have been married in the near fu
ture, and his death is a sad blow to
the young lady who was looking
foward to the event.
The funeral was held from the
Lutheran church at 2:30 this after
noon. To the family the sympathy
of many friends is extended.

A Ill- IllbUitU Ul tllU ItllJ lUIUJlll
Tuesday evening was held in the
district court room and was at
tended by a hundred or more men
who were attracted by the report
that protests would be made
against the issuance of liquor li
censes to Chas. F. Whelau and
Jas. Daly. The protests, however,
failed to materialize and license
was issued to all five of the appli
cants by the new council, which
suceeded the old.
After the licenses had been
granted Mayor "Walker nominated
C. Is. Patterson for city marshal
but the nomination failed of con
firmation, Lloyd, Sullivan, Crusen
and Isenhart voting against and
Iddings and IS vans for. For
night policeman M. McNamara
was appointed and he was con
firmed by a vote of five for and one
against. James M. Ray was ap
pointed city attorney and unani
mously confirmed.
The official bonds of the several
city officials were approyed and ac
cepted. On motion L. 13. Isenhart was
elected president ol the council for
the ensuing term, a position he
held last year.
The mayor announced the mem
bers of the several committees, and
after devoting some time to routine
business, the council adjourned.
