For many months James Atkins has been afflicted with that dread destroyer, consumption. He has been gradually growing weaker and when on his way up town Friday afternoon he fell upon the sidewalk and it was not thought possible that he could recover but he did after some time and has since sufficiently rallied so that he was out riding on Sunday. His many friends would like to see him permanently restored to health but this hardly seems possible.

James Atkins died at the home of his parents here, Tuesday morning, of consumption. He had been a sufferer with that disease for two years. He was aged twenty-eight years; was an aggressive business man and had accumulated considerable property. Most of his life was spent in and around Sterling. Five years ago he went to Gutherie, Oklahoma, to fill a position in an implement house and it is believed he contracted the disease there. Mr. Atkins was a member of the Woodmen of the World, and carried a $2,000 policy with the order. The funeral services were held at the home Wednesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Gilmore of the Presbyterian church.
