Sudden Death

Lee Nicholas, young man about twenty years of age, supposed to be- long to the Larsen sheep shearing outfit now working at Willaha, died very suddenly Tuesday evening at the Grand Canyon hotel. Nicholas arrived at the hotel on Monday and appeared to be in good health. Tuesday evening he stated he was going to Flagstaff and went to his room to dress. A few moments after reaching his room he fell over, and before help could reach him he was dead. Dr. Rounseville was called and pronounced the cause of death as heart trouble. His re- mains were taken in charge by Un- dertaker Button and embalmed, preparatory for shipment to his home in Rexburg, Idaho, where his mother, Mrs. M. M. Nicholas, re- sides, and were forwarded to that place on No. 9 Friday.
