His Passing Leaves Vacant the Office of District Attorney
Immediately after he had been elected to the high office of district attorney in the general elections of last November the condition of Parley Magleby who to a smaller degree had been suffering before, had become so serious that he had to be taken to Salt Lake City for treatment in a hospital. Medical and careful attendance brought about so much relief that the patient was longing for his beloved Richfield and at Christmas time physicians permitted his removal to our city. Now his death Monday morning will leave vacant seat among the family and at the family table and also the office of district attorney.
