P. H. Layden of Georgetown died at
his place of business during the festivities
on the Fourth. About a yer ago he had
a delicate operation performed at a Den

demise was caused by the state of his
health, coupled with the excitement of
the day. Mr.. Layden always was an en-
thusiast when it came to ield-day sports.
For years he was chief of the George
town fire department, and his purse and
earnest services were always ready for
any occasion. He was one of the old
time business men of the great silver
camp, and as such he had the hearty
support and good will of the public.
While with others he was greatly affected
by the panic and the slump in the price
of the white metal, he was optimistic in
his views and a great believer in the
future of Georgetown. He leaves a wife,
two daughters and four sons. The
funeral took place on Tuesday and was
attended by quite number of oldtime
