| 1t is with profound regret that We
announce the sudden and unexpected
death of Samuel Berry, one of Meagher
county's most esteemed citizens, which
occurred at the Higgins House, Tuesday
evening, May 10th. Mr.. Berry spent
the winter at his home in Maine and
returned to Montana about the middle
of April. He had been in bad health
for some months, and about two weeks
since was confined to his room; but no
one supposed him dangerous until Sun
day last, about which time his brother,
Ralph Berry, arrived from the Mussel-
shell. His disease was pneumonia.
Mr.. Berry was one of Meaghcr cOunty's
most energetic and enterprising citi-
zens. lie came to Montana eight years
ago and engaged in wool growing few
years since; and by energy and perse-
verance established himself in the
business-spending the winter months
at his old home, coming out each sum-
mer to look after his fiocks. He was
in the midst of manhood and with
most brilliant prospects before him.
His wife, to whom he had only been
married couple Of years, remained
in the States this spring and was not
apprised of his illness. The remains
are to be encased in . metal lined
casket and will be sent east in charge
Of his intimate friend, Daniel Hurd,
for interment.-Husban
Henry Gardner returned from . trip
to Great Fails last week. He saw the
falls, and that was about all he did see.
