John X. Mullen, DenUer Capi-
talist and One of Richest
Men in the West. Stricken
While Visiting the Imperial
V0lLey.

Late this afternoon Mr.. Mullen
was resting easily, with a normal
pulse and his condition was cOnsid-
erably better.
John X. Mullen, Denver capitalist
and one of the richest men in the west.
owner of a string of flour mills
throughout the state of Colorado, is
lying at deaths door at the Ell Centro
hospital. His daughter, Mrs. o. L.
Malo, her husband. Mrs. j. X. Mullen
and Mrs. Wekbaught are at his bed
side. A sister is speeding from Den
yer and will be here within few
hours.
Yesterday Mr.. Mullen was operated
on for a bowel obstruction by DR..
Churchill, San Diego specialist, and
two local physicians, DR.. A. f. Elliott
and DR.. T. O. Luckett. His condition
was particularly grave yesterday af-
ternoon and evening but this morning
it was reported that he had had good
nights rest and was better.
Last Friday Mr.. Mullen and Mr..
Malo came over from San Diego where
the party was staying at the Hotel Del
Coronado for visit to Imperial Val
ley. They registered at the Barbara
Worth hotel. Saturday Mr.. Mullen
was stricken suddenly.
A complete diagnosis of his case
was not made until yesterday when
the local physicians with the San Diego
specialist decided that an operation
was necessary. Mr.. Mullen came
through the operation in as good con-
dition as could be expected.
Previously telegram to Coronado
had brought the remainder of the
part yto Ell Centre.
