LITTLETON PRICE
dies SUDDENLY

Adispatch from Salt Lake dated
Thursday, September ~, says:
Lyttleton Price of Boise died here
at 8 O'Clock this morning, at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Grant, where he had
been stopping for three weeks, with
Mrs. Price, his wife, and their son
Lyttleton Price. Jr.
The cause of his death was given
as Bright's disease. The body was
shipped to HALEY this evening, for
burial. Mrs. Price and SON accom-
panied the remains.
The news of the death Of Judge
Price came as surprise to the Idaho
colony in this city, and when told
about 1t tonight not many of them
even knew he was in town. He came
here three weeks ago and went to
the Grant home, and aside from an
occasional automobile ride with his
SON rarely left the place. A former
Boise man hailed him one day and
asked him where he was stopping.
He replied at the home of friend,
and it was evident he wished to re-
main in seclusion.
When the news was received from
Boise tonight that he was dead, con-
siderable trouble was experienced in
locating the place where he was stop
ping, as the body had been taken to
an undertaker's. At the Grant home
1t was told that he thought right
along that he wuold recover and it
was not until Wednesday that he
took to his bed to remain and even
then he would not give up. His wife
and son were at his bedside when the
end came. His death had been ex-
pected for some time.
