S.P. Conductor of Sparks dies

  James Roffiter, pioneer Southern Pacific railroad conductor of Nevada and 

Utah, aged fifty years, died late Saturday night in the Southern Pacific 

hospital in San Francisco after an illness of three weeks.  His body was 

brought to Reno today, but funeral arrangements have not yet been made.

  Mr. Roffiter was a member of the Order of Railway Conductors and for the 

past nine years has been running out of Sparks, his last run being on the San 

Francisco-Overland Limited.  Before coming to Sparks he had a run out of Ogden

service as a brakeman in 1891.  He is survived by a wife and several children, 

residents of Sparks.
