The sheriff and his deputy did not

was armed with Winchester. till 1t
became plain to them that he and his
gun just happened to be aboard the

at 4:30 a. m. The sad news soon
became generally known and pail
of gloom has hung over Las Vegas
Iall day. Several intimate personal
friends of Mrs. Veeder are prostrated
with grief over her sudden and un-
timely death, and public meeting or
two has been postponed out of re-
gard for her memory.
Saturday night Mrs. veeder was
taken down with what appeared to be
an attack of acute indigestion. A
physician was called and he remain
ed at her bedside during the night.
Sunday the same symptoms were OBJ
served and consultation of physi-
clans was held. On Monday her
throat began to trouble her more no,
ticeably than ever. Scarlet fever de-
veloped unmistakably yesterday
morning, resulting in her death at an
early hour this morning.
The maiden name of Mrs. Veeder
was Emma Jackson. Her parents are
dead. She is survived By three sis
tiers, all married and residing in the
state Of Alabama. A brother-in-law
il a prominent business man Of Mont
qomerv that state. and present may
or of that city.
Deceased first came to this city
about five years ago for the benefit
of her health, returning home and
remaining four years, during which
time she was married to Mr.. veeder,
whom she had first met during her
residence here. The marriage was sol
emnized year ago last October.
In. association with those in the
church and social circles in which
she moved. Mrs. Veeder was always
a sweet, gentle woman; always
thoughtful, always willing to make
sacrifices, always honest and depend
able. In no way was her true worth
more apparent than IN this beautiful
intercourse with her associates. Sum
shiny and cheerful, an optimist,. and
always at her post whether her pre-
sence was needed in church or socie-
ty, she was an inspiration to others.
Unselfish as were the flowers which
were always growing and blooming in
her room. she was. a lesson to others.
There will be no public funeral ser
vices over the body of Mrs. Veeder.
1t will be shipped to her former home
in Montgomery, Ala, probably tomor-
row, accompanied by the grief-strick-
en- husband.

|sulsing in the defeat Of Mr. Bacha-
|rach's motion.
It is the general opinion among the
business men that the city can afford
to pay living wages and it is to be
regretted that the motion failed of
passage. If the city wants honest Of
ficials and honest work it should pay
living wages. A man must live and
if an officer cannot do it on his sal
ary he is forced to find means to
augment his income in some other
way. 1t is the opinion that they
should be paid enough to look after
the city's interests. SO that they will
not be forced to also look out for the
interests Of a few private individuals
in order 10 earn a livelihood.

Alderman James O'Bryne urged
