James Hotaling died at Spencer early Wednesday morning at the Klug Hotel where he was staying while taking treatment. He had been seriously ill for a couple of weeks and was at Spencer the most of this time, but it was not thought that his condition was so critical, and death came as quite a surprise to his family and friends. The direct cause of his death was blood poisoning which set in as a result of an abscess which came on his face some time ago. Deceased was an old time resident of the Badger country over in Holt County, about 12 miles southwest of Butte, where he owned a place on the Big Sandy. He handled quite a bunch of cattle every year and was reasonably successful as a stockman. He leaves a wife and 9 sons, the oldest of which is 18 years of age, to mourn his loss. Also several brothers, one of which is George Hotaling of Naper. Deceased whould have been 65 years of age on March 14th, had he lived. He was well known over this part of the country having moved to Holt County in 1889. For years he drove the Stuart-Butte stage and scarcely ever failed to make the trip on account of bad roads or stormy weather. Those who knew him best say he was a splendid neighbor and a most kind and loving husband. The funeral was held at Congregational Church in Butte on Thursday afternoon at two o'clock, from which interment took place at the Butte Cemetery, both services being conducted by Rev Searles of Spencer.
