From Monday's daily.
The sudden death of Elinor, th six-
year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. O.J. Ro
man, at the Columbian school build
ing this morning, was a very sad
affair. The lit'.le boy had juit reached
the Bchool home and wai going
through the hail to his room, when he
suddenly gave a scream and fell to the
floor. He was picked up in an uncon
scious condition by Mrs. Thomas, the
principal, and carried into the room.
It was at first thought the lad had
only suffered a fainting spell, and
various restoratives were resorted to,
but the boy died beore he could be
taken home. Janitor Harry Dickin
son, who was looking after the boilers
in the basement, was called and car
ried the unfortunate lad to his home,
after which Dr. E. W. Cook was sum
moned. The cause of death was
doubtless heart trouble, as the mothor
says the boy appeared to bo perfectly
well when he left home, a few min
utes before.
Elmer was a bright little boy. and
his sudden death has caused his par
ents great grief. It is not thought
that a coroner's inquest will be held.
Funeral services will be held at the
residence, on Ninth and Gold streets,
in the Third ward, -at 2 o'clock torn r

remains will be interred in Oak Dill

Men and Commissioner.
The representatives of a number of
insurance companies were in town to
day with a view of coming to an under
standing in regard to the loss sus
tained by the court house fire.
An estimate of the damage to the
fresco work on tho walls and ceilings
of the building was made by Louis
Ottnat, showing that it would require
something like $1,850 to repair the
same. In addition to this there were
estimates from L. G. Larson, W. It
Turner and George Longenhagen,
showing tho damage on the wood
and brick work to be about $765.
Tho insurance men submitted a
proposition to the county commission
ers, asking that they bo allowed to ap
point an appraiser the county to ap
point one also and agreeing to fur
nish a bond three times the amount of
the loss, as it had already been esti
mated. The commissioners could not see
matters that way, and refused to con
sider the proposition. No understand
ing has thus far been reached, and it
is not known what 6ort of an agree
ment will finally bo decided upon.

The company gives its patrons good
