Prior to that hour Mr. Peterson's condition was entirely sat- istactory and there wes no indication that the end was «approaching. and engaged in a round of go!*_ When he returned to town he wes apparent- ly in the best of spirits and health. While preparing to attend the Eitks’ open house Friday night Mr. Peterson was taken ill and told iis family that he would lic down for awhile. At &:30 Mra. Peterson went to his room end found him suffering from severe chill. Dr. J. C. Kamp was tmmediately summoned and diagnosed the case as influenza. After the first attack Mr Peterson's condition steadily improved until late yesterday afternoon. From then on his family and medical advisors were in constant attendance until Seath came at % o'clock this morning. Mra.

Mr. Pcterson came to Casper in 1909 and engaged in the newspaper busi- ness. For years he ran the old Cas- per Record then a weekly publication and devoted his spare time to looking after the real estate interestst of J. M. Carey & Bros., here. ‘The newspaper business proved pro- fitable for Mr. Peterson and he con- tinued to enlarge his publication until he merged the paper with the old Cas- per Press in 1917. He later sold both publications to Silt Lake interests at handsome profit.

It was thought this might involve a prelimin- ary meeting of Mr. Collins with Pre- |mier Sir James Cralg of Ulster. Reports of murder, incendiarism and other outrages in the northern dis- trieta, where the tension between the Protestants and Catholics is most se- vere, take much space in the news- papers. The eviolent denunciations of each faction against the other suggest apportionment of the blame im num- erous instances is difficult, per- haps tmpossible, to decide, but they show the fierce state of factional foeel- ing which dangerously threatens the |gweneral peace.
