Drais of the Florence hotel received the sad news Wednesday afternoon of the death of his son-in-law, E. B. Moden, of Prescott. As no particulars were given, the cause of his death is unknown. Mr. Moden has been a bookkeeper for one of the largest houses in Prescott and also Assistant city clerk form many years. He has been a resident of Prescott for the past seventeen years.
