End Came Quickly After Denied Infirmary Admission
Jesse Dice 53, a city native, died in the city prison shortly after 8 am Saturday following days of illness. Doctor Bashford treated him then attempted transfer to the Infirmary, which refused admission, citing no room. Dice’s death was due to brain congestion as Janitor Reed and Frank Marks watched over him through the night. The body was turned over to undertaker H. B. Christine after county officials argued over burial costs. Funeral held at Christine rooms on Sunday at 2 pm.
