Colonel John L. Root it dead.
He died at his home in Georgia on
the 23cd of the last month. He
was government timber inspector
for some years in Montana and was
one of the best known men in the
state for the time he lived here.

hear of his death with heartfelt
sorrow and there are none who
knew him but will give a sigh of
regret.

Several of those WHO went east
were delegates who went to the
meeting of the Stockgrowers
association in 1887, which went

the first twenty -four days of JAM
