General Theodore S. West

General Theodore S. West, one of the proprietors of the Langham Hotel in Washington died suddenly yesterday morning at Asbury Park, New Jersey. On July 6 last General West and Sterling Ruffin, a well known clerk in the Treasury Department who comes from North Carolina had a quarrel over a board bill and Ruffin struck West in the face with an umbrella breaking his nose. Ruffin then hit General West and after knocking him down jumped on him.

The quarrel was renewed later in the day and West was so badly punished that he was not able to get around since. No arrests were made at the time, but when the police this afternoon learned of General West's death Ruffin was taken from the Treasury Department and locked up. A few months ago he married Miss Charlotte Crocker, a daughter of General M.M. Crocker of Iowa.

He was born in Philadelphia and educated at the University of Waukesha, Wisconsin. He was Colonel of the Fifth Regiment, Wisconsin Volunteers and was captured and sent to Libby Prison. General Hobart and Governor Creary of Michigan were in prison with him and they planned and executed their escape. He served under Generals Rosecrans and Belknap. He rose to the rank of Brigadier General. At the close of the war he ran a ranch in the South and subsequently went to California. Six months ago he and Colonel C.C. Lefler became proprietors of the Hotel Langham, Washington, D.C.

A special train takes the body to Washington today. Charles K. Hall Post, No. 41, G.A.R. will act as guard of honor. Generals Rosecrans and Belknap will meet the body at the station in Washington. The interment will be in the military cemetery, Arlington with military honors.
