corner of West and Fourth streets
Wednesday morning. Though well
advanced in life he carried the weight
of years we'll and up to a very short
time previous to his death, probably
half en- hour, he exhibited no signs of
illness. He was on the street in the
vicinity of his home during the morn
ing hours and the announcement of
his death came as a shock to the
neighbors, particularly to those who
had observed HIM walking about. He
went into the house little before ten
o'clock complaining of pain In his
side. He was assisted to sofa by
his wife and medical aid summoned,
but before the physician arrived he
died.
Mr.. Ellsworth was "a years old. A
wife, formerly Miss Elizabeth David
sor, and two daughters, Mrs. J. L.
Wolvertor, of town and Mrs. Wolf, of
Nebraska, survive. He is also sur
vived by three sisters and four broth
ers-Mrs. Clayton, Riverside; Mrs.
Adams, Bear Gap; Mrs. Suit, Puget
Sound, Washington; John Ellsworth,
Ohio; William Ellsworth, Colorado;
Newton and Matthias Ellsworth, Elys'

Repairing the Levee.

A large force of men are engaged
out at Irondale, making ready the
water power for the new Electric
Light Company. The levee between
the two dams which was badly washed
by the high water, is being repaired
with concrete wall which when
completed will, it is believed, resist
permanently any attacks that future
floods may make upon it. The wall
will also serve to carry the water into
the race instead of forcing it over into
the dam. The cement work is in
charge OF Fred Kumer.
