Rock Springs Miner no. 43 November 06, 1902
Found Dead on the Street.
James Millburn, an old resident of Rock Springs, was found dead at the edge of the sidewalk on North Front street near the Belmont hotel at an early hour this morning.
The body was found between five and six o'clock and reported to the police. It had not been there long at that time as Deputy Marshal Moffitt had passed that point at half past three o'clock and it was not there then.
The deceased was a native of Wales and about fifty years of age. years ago he worked in the mines here. Later he was employed as bartender and for a time worked at Chalice's livery stable. In recent years he had been much addicted to drink. This habit aggravated a heart trouble form which he has suffered more or less and which is believed to have been the cause of his death. Coroner Crookston was notified, but owing to a suspicion of foul play which he desired to investigate, the inquest has not been held.
Millburn was a well known character about town. He was married and leaves a wife and family.

Rock Springs Miner no. 44 November 13, 1902
Died of Suffocation
Coroner Crookston held an inquest Friday over the body of James Milburn who was found dead in the street near Belmont hotel early Thursday morning of last week, and an account of whose death was given in the last issue of the MINER.
The jury consisted of Mike Dankowski, Wm. Dickson and Wm. Kear, and their verdict was that the deceased came to his death by suffocation. When the body was found the nose and mouth were imbedded in a lot of loose sand and dirt that had collected at the point where he fell. It is supposed that he was attacked with one of the fainting fits to which he had been subject, and either fell with his face in the loose sand or rolled over after falling.
His funeral was held Monday afternoon.
