   Funeral services for E. B. Schlette, 64, probate judge of Boundary county
since 1933, who passed away at the local hospital at about two o'clock yesterday

   Judge Schlette was taken to the local hospital Sunday, August 18, suffering
from asthma and heart trouble.  His condition remained critical and he was
placed under the oxygen tent on several occasions and was under the tent when he
passed away.  he lapsed into unconsciousness shortly after three o'clock Tuesday
afternoon and never regained consciousness.
   The pallbearers all associates and friends of the deceased, will be as
follows: Owen Critchfield, W. J. Nixon, Emil Frank, Paul Schallenkamer, Roy
Boehm and Ernest Mayer.
   Emanuel B. Schlette was born in Clayton County, Iowa, on July 15, 1882.  He
came west when he was 21 and settled in the Curley Creek district, where he
resided for many years with his parents.
   During the years before he was elected to the position of county judge, he
was employed by the forest service and farmed his tract of land in the Curley
Creek district.  On September 7, 1927 he was married to Florence Bellmar at
Sandpoint.
   In 1930 he lost an arm while working with a wood saw.
   During his tenure as probate judge he won the respect of a widening
acquaintance who admired his devotion to his work and his characteristic of
never being too busy to offer assistance and aid whenever possible.
   He served during the war years on the selective service committee and on
termination of the war was reemployment committeeman for the county.  He spent
considerable time and effort to place many local veterans and aided them with
his advice and counsel when it was requested.
   On the occasion of the observance of the hundredth anniversary of
Christianity by the Kootenai Indians at the Kootenai Mission on May 13, Judge
Schlette was one of the principal speakers.  At that time, speaking in a
philosophical mood, he urged his listeners to work together and to be kind in
each other.
   So far as is known, his widow is the only surviving relative.
