GEORGE H. ROSS.
Circumstances of his Death Related by
Bartlett Sinclair.

~~~-~~--~~f
Rathdrum, May %. The sud
den death of George Ross has cast
a deep gloom over Rathdrum
where he had lived for a about IS
months From the day he entered
the treasurer's Office till his death
he continued to make friends.
never new a more attentive or a
more accommodating official, this
reputation he had firmly estab-
lished.
Everybody here regrets with a
sad heart the death of Mr.. Ross
but none quite so keenly as his old
time friends. Amongst these are
Sheriff Doust and Mrs. Doust and
John and Mrs. Hart. That poor
George died in the seclusion of his
own apartments, unattended and
apparently neglected, is no fault OF
these old friends. Both Mr.. Doust
and other friends a day or two be-
fore his death and mt other times,
urged him to allow them to minis
ter to him either by night or day
but their offers were rejected cour-
teously but firmly. He disclaimed
the need OF an attendant to the
very last. Mr.. Doust and Mr.. Hart
were persistent in their offers and
George again and again put them
off with the answer that he was
more comfortable when alone. 1t
is now a little source of conside-a-
ton to us, and it will be to those
who esteemed the deceased as a
friend throughout the Kootenai
valley, that in his sickness all was
done which he permitted to be done
to make him comfortable in his
last days.
The day before his death he was
on the streets and while he looked
to be a sick man no one anticipa-
ted such an early dissolution.
Along about nine o'clock of the
night of his death he made his ac-
tuHlOllcu Nlo1l W Il DdIb sup anu
was waited upon as usual by the
proprietor. 1t is imposed from
there he went to his room where the
next morning about IL o'clock he
was discovered dead.
Not having appeared in his Office
that morning Mr. Doust instituted
inquiries about town, and no one
having seen him the sheriff at
tempted to enter his room. He
had previously made no response
to rap on the door and it was
then that Mr.. Doust opened the
transom and Deputy Sheriff Mer-
rift crawled through. The worst
fears were then confirmed. From
the position of the furniture in the
room it looked as though deceased
was in the act of moving towards
the table for the medicine he was
using when the fatal heart stroke
fell upon him.
There was during his ailment,
no lack of womanly thoughfulness
not exercised by Mrs Doust and
Mrs. Hart towards poor George.
Both these ladies searched the town
