Snyder L. Hague Dead

Well known Local Newspaper Man a Victim of Typhoid Fever.

A well known local newspaper man died last night at Holy Cross hospital. In the death from typhoid fever of Snyder Lemley Hague, who for the last eight years had worked as a reporter and mining editor on the Salt Lake papers and at the time of his illness was doing special work on the Tribune. He had no family but leaves a sister, Miss Frances Hague of Galesburg, Illinois and a brother in California, and arrangements for the funeral are being deferred until the sister is heard from.
Mr. Hague was born in 1857, in Fayette county, Pa., and graduated from Knox college in 1881, in the same class with S. S. McClure, publisher of the magazine of that name. In 1882 he removed to Clark, S. D., where he published a paper for 10 years and part of that time was county clerk. In 1892, Mr. Hague removed to Sibley in where he published a paper, coming to Salt Lake in 1898.
The deceased was specially interested in mining, and was the Inventor of an ore separator on which he secured patents and from which he expected to make considerable money, as its importance was appreciated by mining men. Mr. Hague also invented a process for distilling oil from shale, and was on his way up in the world when the fever struck him a month ago, and now he is gone. He will be much missed in Salt Lake newspaper and mining circles, where he had become so well known. He was a temperate man and a hard worker, whose services were appreciated by local city editors.
