(From Monday's Daily)

W. H. Billings, the shoemaker at the Granite creek bridge, died this
morning at fifteen minutes before 6 o'clock. He had been sick about
a month.

A part of this time he spent at his ranch just east of town, but
recovering slightly, returned to his shop and worked about a week.

On July 28th he took to his bed and has been unable to be up since.
Overwork and lack of exercise produced a complication of diseases,
which baffled the skill of the physician and resulted in his death.

The remains were taken to Undertaker Logan's, from where the funeral
will take place to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock.

Deceased was a native of Illinois, aged about 44 years.
