Artz, a prominent promi-nent musician and teacher of this city, was found dead in his bed at his room over 309 North Main street at 1 o'clock Sunday, Feb. ' 18. Heart disease is thought to be the cause of his death. When John Udick attempted to arouse Professor Artz from an apparently appar-ently deep sleep, he found a cold corpse from which life had fled at some time during the previous night. Bdick hastily hast-ily called a doctor who gave his opinion opin-ion that death was caused from heart disease and had occurred some twelve hours previous to finding the body. It was known to friends of Mr. Artz that he had been a sufferer from heart disease for some time although his general appearance was that of a strong, healthy man. He was in his usual health at 6 o -clock Saturday evening and before retiring, re-tiring, as had been his custom, partook of snme sadwiches and wine about 10 o'clock, after which he expressed his intention of retiring. It is presumed he did so at once and died within a few hours. So natural was the dead body that on first entering the room Mr. Udick thought his friend was sleeping and retired, coming back in an hour to rouse the sleeping man to attend at-tend a rehearsal of the German Maen-nerchor Maen-nerchor of which Mr. Artz was director. direc-tor. The sudden death of Mr. Artz will come as a great shock to many eople in Pueblo, especially in local music circles. cir-cles.

After studying with the-best maaters in this country he went to the Conservatory of Music at Stuttgart at the age of eighteen eigh-teen to finish his musical education. After three years abroad he returned to Winona, later going to Milwaukee and Chicago and to fill church engagements. engage-ments.
