Meeting at City Hall Takes Up the Work In Earnest.

A meeting Important in history . of Jameqtown was held Tuesday eve-i nlng in the city hall, when the Aien

The death of George J. Rulon, one I'of the city who had subscribed to the fund for the establishment of a Young Men's Christian asociatlon met and took the first definite steps toward organization and the start­ing of activities. This a|ep places Jamestown the third city in the state to take a place in the world- wide movement of the Young Men's Chris­tian association. The work of the Co. H men and of the Y. M. C. A. committee that has been working quietly during the past spring, sum­mer and fall, has given to James­town a public building of which the-citizens may well be proud; a build-, ing that will not only meet the local needs, but which will also enable the city to invite conventions and pub­lic gatherings of state wide scope to its hospitality. '

The meeting Tuesday was well attended and the men who had put their money into the enterprise were pleased with the report of the com­mittee on what had been ac­complished, and to learn that the work of finishing up the rooms in the basemnet of the Armory build­ing for the work of the Young Men's Christian association was but a mat­ter of afew days.

After listening to the reports of the finance committee and the build­ing committee it was decided to plan for the beginning of activities at once. In order to facilitate matters a committee of representative men

of the old time resid.ents. of James­town, occurred at his home on west Main street, Friday afternoon at 4:20 o'clock. There Jiad been sev­eral reports of his death in circu­lation during the day, but these were premature* his death occurring as above stated. Mr. Rulon had been sick* Bince Saturday last at which time he suffered from a fall on the ice in the N; P. railroad yards, which caused what eventually terminated in strangulated hernia, and his death was due to blood poisoning follow­ing the injuries. The accident of the fall did not at first bring about any serious results, and the grave na­ture of the consequences were not suspected until a day or t^o follow­ing the fall. The patient grew rap­idly worse after being confined to his bed, and in spiie ;of, all aid was soon beyond the hope of recovery.

Mr. Rulon was one of the best known railroad men in tfie city. He has lived in Jamestown since 1881. His family consists of wife and five children, the . oldest Arthur, with George, Hattie, Genevieve and Mary, all residing at home except George,

He was stationed at old Fort Lincoln moBt of the time dur­ing the five years of his service in the army, having been discharged in 1881.
