STOCKMAN SUDDENLY CALLED
REYOND.

John Rothlisberg, the well known To-
cal buyer and shipper of stock, was
called suddenly this week from APP
parent health to the great beyond. The
attack was so unexpected and the fatal
results so speedy that his friends had
hardly time to realize the seriousness
of his condition before he had answer
ed the last call of the Grim Reaper.
Mr.. Rothlisberg had just made a
shipment from Grangeville Of four car
loads of cattle and hogs Tuesday morn
ing and had gone over ON the train
to Cottonwood to settle with Platt Il
Jones for bunch of cattle which he
had purchased of them, and they were
sitting at the Office table in the hotel
just at noon, figuring when he was
attacked with the fatal malady which
proved his final undoing. He was TAX
en- suddenly with cramps and stepped
into the hotel washroom, from which
place Messrs Jones and -Platt heard
him call, and responding found him
lying ON the floor in great agony. He
was carried out and laid on the office
table and the doctor was summoned.
DR.. SlusseE was called from Grange
Vile and took Mrs. Rothlisberg over
with him in his car. He, in consulta-
lipH WIFI tuC AottthNVou Iiit SiNAuht Wv
cided that an operation was the only
hope, and 1t was performed Wednes-
day morning, but the case was too far
advanced to be stayed by medical aid,
and deceased passed away at few
minutes after one o'clock on Wednes-
| day, Nov. Is, just twenty-five hours
after the attack. The surgical exami-
nation disclosed the fact that an ulcer
of long standing had eaten through
the wall of the stomache, precipitating
a malignant case of peritonitis, and
that In that brief period gangrenous
condition had set in in every loop OF
the intestines, making the case abso-
lutely hopeless from the start
Mr.. Rothlisberg's mother was wired
at Salt Lake and will reach here as
soon as the train can bring her. The
remains were prepared by Undertaken

er. was brought up to Grangeyille last
Saturday night and lodged i'll jail un-
der charge of having taken the life
of his little day-old daughter. the
preliminary hearing was set for today
before Probate Judge Harris and Is
now being heard.
Mr.. Rooney, who absolutely denies
having had anything to do with the
death of the infant, is acting as his
own counsel in the case. He has de-
clared all along that he desired the
closest investigation into the case, and
that upon such an inquiry is his GER
tainty of acquittal resting. From indi-
cations, Mr. Rooney would fix the
crime committed upon Mrs. Howard
the neighbor nurse who was called III
to care for the mother and newborn
babe.
Mrs. Howard was the first witness
placed upon the stand today. She de
nies all connection with the death OF
the babe and the burden of her testi
mony would tend to implieate one OF
both of the parents. She stated thai
she left the Rooney home at IL 30
