The people of this city had hardly
gotten over the shock of the sudden
death of Mr.. lonely. when the news
flashed over the town that another
old time resident had suddenly
passed over the ssgreat divide. .
This time it was Judge Joseph L.
Hunter. The deceased had been a
sufferer for years from asthma and
other ailments, but almost up to
the hour of his death he had been
able to move about and attend to
such work about the Hunter House
as he felt 1T his duty to look after.
In fact he had been feeling better
during the past summer than for
some years. Early Saturday morn
ing he was taken severely ill with
his old ailment accentuated by heart
trouble. immediately medical help
was summoned, but the destroyer
had marked him and about 10
o'clock he passed away.

than a coincidence. Sheriff WILCOX says
many Of the foreigners among the
