DEATH OF N. A. JUST
OCCURRED LAST THURSDAY
Coming quickly and unexpectedly to
Uis host of friends, the death of N.
A. Just, of Presto, is a shock to all.
He died in the Holy Cross hospital in
Salt Lake, Thursday, ten days after an
opertion performed, from thq effects
of which he was recovering. A day
before death came the deceased wa9
taken with pneumonia, and Mrs. N. A.
Just was informed by letter of the
change for the worse, but before the
letter arrived a telegram preceeded it
informing the family of Mr. Just's ser
ious conditicn. Mrs. Just arrived in
Salt Lake six hours before the death
of her husband. Nels A. Just was
bcrn in Denmark sixty-five years ago
and came to the United States cross
ing the plains with a hand cart company
of fifty-seven people. He located on
the Blackfcot river forty-two years
ago. Upon receiving word of the death
of their father, Francis Just and Mrs.
Reed went to Pocatello, meeting the
body of their father and Mrs. Just re
turning from Salt Lake. Following a
long family custom life long neighbors
and friends laid the body away on the
big hill overlooking the ranch house,
which nestles in the valley of the
Blackfcot and which has been the
home of the stalwart man. and a good
little help mate, who have brought in
to the world a younger generation
that are taking up the life work of the
parents as the latter's wort is done
Of the family surviving the father,
there are James, Francis and Mrs. Ag
nes Just Reed, all of whom are resid
ents of Presto. In the death of Mr.
Just this state looses a conservative
business man, a stalwart citizen and a
man who has put forth the best''ef
forts of his long life in developement
work in this, his chosen home.

D. SPAULDING DIED
SUNDAY IN CHICAGO
Chicago, March 26.—Following a
phone call from his room in the Bre
voort hotel, asking for ice water,
George D. Spaulding, a land agent
form Chattanooga, Tenn., was found
dead in »his bed about 3 o'clock Sun
day morning by Patrick Hunt, a bell
boy.
Apoplexy is thought to have been
the cause of the death, though the
disordred condition of the victim's
room when the body was discovered
led to an investigation on the ground
that a crime might have been com
mitted. Police of the central depart
ment said Sunday night that there
was nothing to Indicate ether than a
natural death.
Spaulding registered at the hotel
Saturday atterncon and was heard
from only once, when he called the
office requesting ice water, shortly be
fore 3 o'clock Sunday morning« When
Hunt went to the room with the wa
ter he found the dcor locked and no
answer came to his knock. He repeat
ed the knock and, still received no
answer, had-a chamber maid open the
dcor, Spaulding was found lying
across the foot of the bed, unclothed,
dead. No marks cf violence were on
the body, which was taken to the un
dertaking rooms cf the Western Cas
ket company, 88 East Randolph St.
An inquest was held this morning at
10 o'clock. Spanlding was about 55
years of age.

"The Right of Way" is a power
ful, interest-stimulating drama intro
ducing rapid movement and acute sit
uations and a succession of picturesque
effects.' It is the story of the degen- 1
eration of a man through drink and his
regeneration through a life spent in
the service of others, and particularly
in the radiating glory of a pure wo
man's, unselfish love that dispels the
gloom that envelops a noble man's soul
and saves him from himself.
Interest is principally centered in
two strangely contrasting figures —
Charley Steele, once a brilliant lawyer
and Joe Portugais, a man of nature in
the most uncouth aspect. In the earl
ier scenes of this strong, pulsating
play, the heartless synicism of the jad
ed man of the world; Charley Steele,
almost revolts one, just as much as
one finds joy in the beauty of his real
nature as shown by the change .that
comes after the accident that tempor
arily deprvies him of his memory. The
awakening of his love for the coun
try maid, Rosalie, instead of his wife
whom he has found a frozen fact in
his world, is exquisite in its simplic
ity, its sincerety and its truth, and
affords one of the most pathetically
sweet tales told on the stage.
The other chief character—Joe Por
tugais, has earlier in his life killed a
rival; has been tried and acquitted
through the legal skill of Charley
Steele, but deep down beneath the sur
face beats a heart, loyal stead
fast and unselfish. There is an inten
sely interesting love story running
through the play which involves the
girl Rosalie, Charley Steele and his
wife.
