MAN STRICKEN IN STREET

LOS ANGELES MAN DROPS DEAD IN FRONT OF HOTEL; HEART TROUBLE

    After working a few days for the Nevada Meat Market as a bucher 
[sic], E. W. ROUTH, of Los Angeles, died from heart trouble in front of 
the Overland Hotel, in this city, Monday. Mr. ROUTH, who had been in 
Vegas but a few days, coming from the cooler climate of Southern 
California, complained several times of the heat but said nothing about 
having trouble with his heart. Monday, just before noon, Mr. ROUTH was 
going to his room in the Overland Hotel when he fell to the ground 
unconscious.  He was at once taken inside but died before he could be 
given medical aid.
    Little is known about this man. Relatives had the body shipped to 
Logansport, Ind., the family home.
