Prescott--Richard Sloan, the nine year old son of 
Judge and Mrs. R.E. Sloan died very suddenly this 
morning of croup. He was in his usual health and was 
at school yesterday and was taken during the night 
with an attack of croup, which resulted fatally 
about eight o'clock this morning.

The boy was exceptionally bright for one of his
years and was a universal favorite with all who 
knew him.  His death, coming as it did with such 
suddeness is a terrible blow to his parents who 
fairly idolized their son.  Judge Sloan was absent 
in Kingman hodling court and will arrive home tonight.
