FRITZ ROPER DIES
SUDDENLY FROM
HEART TROUBLE

Last Saturday evening while
seated in a chair in his place of
business in Gardnerville, Fritz
Roper, without the slightest warn
ing, dropped dead. Friends were
quickly to his side thinking that
he was overcome by a fainting
spell, but a hurried examination
showed that the last spark of life
had fled from the man yet in the
prime of life. His sudden death
was attributed to heart disease
from which the deceased had been
afflicted for some years. After the
inquest had been held the remains
were removed to his home on
Mission street.
Fritz Roper was a native of
Hanover, Germany and was born
July 26th, 1866. He came to
America while boy and has been
resident OF Carson Valley for
many years. He was good
whole souled man, honest to
fault an was a citizen held in high
esteem.
Ia his death the head of little
household is missing and the
widow and daughter have the sym
pathy of the community during
their hour of bereavement.
Besides the widow, and step
daughter, Mrs. Hulda Jensen, the
deceased leaves a brother in Texas
and a sister in Germany to mourn
his untimely demise.
The funeral took place for the
Methodist Church Tuesday after
noon, and was largely attended.
The remains were laid to rest in
the Garden Cemetery.

Partnership Dissolved.

The partnership heretofore exist
ing between Raymond Dake and
h. Y. Fettic in the general mer-
chandise store at Genoa, was this
week dissolved by mutual consent,
the latter taking full charge and
will hereafter conduct the business.
Mr.. Dake informs us that he has
other things in view and that the
partnership was dissolved with en-
tire satisfaction to those concerned.
Mr.. Fettie, is one of of the best
known young men of Genoa, and
is deserving of every bit of patron
age that the people OF Genoa and
vicinity can bestow upon him.

CORONER IS AWAITINe ORDERS
JURY SWORN TO INVESTIGATE
]. E. TRIMMER's DEATH.
Charges of Harsh treatment of Pa.
tient in Hospital for Insane
Under Inquiry.

No definite action has vet been taken
by the authorities in the matter of in
vestigating the complaint made about the
Trimmer. who recently died at the Gov
eminent Hospital for the Insane. 1t
is believed that George s. Wilson, Sec
rotary to the board of charities. will
recommend that the communication sent
him yesterday by Commissioner Mac
farland be referred to Coroner hewitt.
This morning Coroner hewitt made an
effort to get into communication with
District officials who have charge of the
affair. He swore jury over the body OF
Trimmer at the morgue Monday, he
states, and is prepared to go ahead with
the investigation should Commissioner
mcfarland think that Is the best way
to settle the affair.
1t is probable that such hearing will
be ordeded and that 1t will be conducted
at the morgue Monday. Witnesses will
be summoned to tell of the condition OF
Trimmer from the time he appeared al
the fourth precinct police station until
Hospital for the Insane.
Coroner's Opinion.
Coroner hewitt says he thinks Trim.
mer's ribs were fractured by falling
across his cot while he was tugging al
the wire grating over the window of his
room. He has the written statements OF
persons who were in charge of him at the
Government Hospital for the Insane, and
will have them at the inquest should one
be held.
Witnesses from the Washington Asylum
Hospital and members OF the police de-
partment will also be called upon to tel
what they know of the case Such an in.
vestigation. Coroner hewitt thinks, would
be the means of bringing to light all the
facts connected with the case.
