DIED YESTERDAY
Gus Thelhelm, who has made his home at the Gilmore Hotel for some months, passed away Wednesday afternoon. He was a sufferer from tuberculosis for some time and lately his heart action has been very bad. He had gone to his room and about 4 o'clock Mrs. Gilmore went up to see how he was and if he needed anything. As he failed to respond she entered the room and found him dead. A physician was called and he said he was past human help.
Telegrams were sent to his people at Plymouth, Wisconsin, who live in the country, and to a sister at Wheeler, Washington. Until word is received from them no definite arrangements will be made for the disposition of the body.
