DIED-On Thursday morning, August 30.
Morgan l.. Sproat, aged about 70 years
He was formerly of Hastings, Neb..
where his wife now is. She has been
telegraphed for.
The above announcement is found
in Thursdays Boise Statesman. None
of the particulars are known.
Morgan L. Sproat has for the past
theee years been familiar figure in
this part of Idaho. He came to this
city with Messrs. Bates and Fulton,
as one of the promoters of the Seven
Devils railroad scheme. He was sec
rotary of the various organizations
formed in the interest Of the project,
and was, from first to last, an essen
tial element in all the business affairs
surrounding the project. He was a
patient, faithful worker and cafeful
and competent man in whatever he
undertook to do. He had spent sew
eral years in this work, with but small
remuneration, and it is pity that he
could not have lived to see his fond
est hopes realized. -Payette indie
