 Lost a Valued Citizen.

Louis Sultan, general manager ant
 treasurer of the Sultan Mercantil,
 Company, died yesterday afternoon
 about half past 2 o'clock, of capillary
 bronchitis, sometimes called bronchc
 pneumonia.
 He was taken sick with la grippe, April II, in Phoenix, where he had
 gone to attend the session of the Grand
 Lodge, l. O. O. +. Dr. Helm was
 called and prescribed for him, and on
 Friday Mir Sultan was much better,
 and being impatient to get home, he
 started in company with W. T. Nc.
 Nelly, coming by way of Mesa, Flor
 ence and Riverside. The trip, which
 Is fatigning one to even q we'll per
 son, was unusually so to Mir. Sultan in
 liis weak and feverish condition, and should not have been undertaken.
 Arriving home Sunday evening, the 18th inst, he went to his store for a
 few minutes and obtained medicine for
 his cough from Dr. B. G. Fox. On the following morning Dr. Fox was summoned and he found Mr. Sultan very much worsc with high fever. The disease developed rapidly, and on Wednesday the symptoms were so alarming that Dr. T. Shields Collins was called m consultation, and tele- gram was sent to Hyman Sultan, a brother, which reached him at Los Angeles, and he started at once for Globe, arriving last Monday forenoon.
 There was no decided change in the sick mans condition for several days after Wednesday, the 2lst, except that two or three severe coughing spells left him weaker each time. Last Monday morning he rallied and appeared much better, but the improvement was brief, and later in the day . change for the worse set in and hope of his recovery was abandoned. Shortly after 9 o'clock yesterday morning the patient lnpsed into unconsciousness and life passed quietly like the ebbing of the tide.
 Louis Sultan was native of Gollup, West Prussia, and was 52 years of age. He came to America in 1866 ST CT. For a number of years he was engaged in merchandising at Silver Reef, Utah, and afterwards in Pioche, Nevada, where he did an extensive business, having branch stores in several adja- cent mining camps.
