SICK ONLY A FEW DAYS
Attack of Peritonitis Proved Fatal - Relatives Summoned From Here Early This Morning
Jesse King died at the city hospital at Portland at 11:30 o'clock a.m. Tuesday, after suffering a week with peritonitis. His illness has been of a serious nature for several days, but friends were hoping for a turn for the better. This morning his relatives here were summoned to come at once, if they wished to see him alive, the message coming in time for them to go to Portland on the morning train, which they did. Jesse King was born in this city about thirty-five years ago, being a son of Ex-Sheriff David King. He was educated and lived here until about ten years ago, when he went to Portland to work and has since lived there. One son and three sisters survive, the latter being Mrs. L. C. Helm and Mrs. Henry Thomas of this city, and Mrs. Slagle of Marion, Ind. The funeral arrangements have not been completed.
