Logan A. Garten, 57 year old, secretary of the park board and public utilities commission, died tonight shortly after he boarded a street car for the union depot, where he was to meet his wife, who had been visiting in Kansas. Heart failure is believed to have been the cause. Mr. Garten was appointed to his municipal position two days after he had completed thirty-two years in the newspaper business.

He began newspaper work under General Nobel Prentis in Newton, Kansas. Since that time he has been employed on many metropolitan papers, at one time being connected with a Kansas City newspaper. He came to St. Joseph from Los Angeles about a year ago.
