LOCAL EVENTS Of The WEEK
TOGETHER WITH A Personal MENTION
OF THOSE IN THE nOvING PAN
ORA1A OF LOCAL HISTORY.

T. d. Rhodes died at Hot Lake, Ore,
Wednesday morning, May 30, 1906.
"Doc" had large number of friends
and acquaintance in this city who were
panied to hear of his death, although he
had been in poor and failing health for
some time. He came to Ritzville at the
close of the Spanish American war, a
veteran. carrying wound received in
the service of Uncle Sam. He was a
druggist by trade and was employed by
the Rosenoff Pharmacy, afterwards as
sisting in the starting of the Thiel Drug
Company. Speculations in cheap lands
made him independently wealthy, and he
was known as one of the most lucky men
in this county. Oftentimes he would
turn piece of land, after holding only a
few days, at greatly increased price.
One deal on which he made several thou
sands of dollars was closed and his check
for the purchase of the property had not
been cashed and was returned to him as
part of the profits on the sale. John F.
Doran leaves Thursday morning and will
accompany the remains to the home
at Maysville, South Carolina, for burial.
