DEATH OF COL. 5. w. BEALL.

The death of this gentleman occurred
at the residence OF Gen. Sol A. Mere
dith, at IL o'clock, on Saturday forenoon
last, and his funeral took place yester-
day. From gentleman who was we'll
acquainted with the career of Col. Beall,
we obtain brief summary of his his
tory:
Col. Beall was one of the first settlers
of the State of Wisconsin, to which he
emigrated in 1929. In 1881 he was ap-
Office at Green Bay. and was afterwards
a member of the Constitutional Conven-
tiOn of Wisconsin. He was Lieut.. Gov
ernor of the State during Gov. Nelson
Dewey's last term of office. He subse-
quently held the position of Clerk of
the Supreme Court. At the breaking
out of the rebellion he entered the army
and was appointed Major of the 18th
Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry. Nearly
the whole of this regiment was cap
tured ut Shiloah. before opportunity was
given tor bringing it into action. Its
commanding officer, Col. Jos. 5. Alban,
of Plover, Ohio, was killed before he
had time to mount lis horse, and Col.
Beall was wounded. He was afterwards
transferred to the Second Veteran Re
serve Corps. He was a man of consider
rable literary ability. and has. more
especially within the past few years,
been a contributor of the 1laHtic and
other publications. In business habits
he was exceedingly active, and in his
nature brave, quick and impulsive. He
came to Montana only a short time since,
and has been considerably engaged in
literary labors while soiourning here.
During his short stay with US he has
made many friends among our citizens,
and all sincerely regret his loss.
