mission. He then went to Winnipeg
where he held leading position in the
wholesale store of W. II. Lyon 4 Co.
He came from there to Pembina to take
charge Of branch store here run by the
same firm and after it was sold went into
business for him self at what was called
the Red Store. in this city. He was UNI
successful IN this business and for the
later years has turned his attention to the
location OF coal mines. This brief recital
of his going and coming OH the frontier
for the last eventful twenty-five years is
suggestive in itself ofa series of advent

which occurs to ordinary men. Mr..
O'Dennell was warnllearted, genial
specimen of the Irish race. whose bug
mess qualifications were sucllas made

whose wealth is now counted by the
thousands. Mr.. O'Donnell was the lead.

church Of this place to which lie contribut-
ed large share of Ills means. Popular,
honest, faithful. capable; one fault kept
him comparatively poor while many Of
his companions grew rich.
SO far rs known lie has no relatives in
this country. but his funeral was attended
by many sincere mourners among his
Masonic brethren. There were about
fifty Of these. who were in line, includ-
ing visiting brethren from the neighbor-
ing towns of Hamilton, Batl,gate and
Emerson.
The services were conducted according
to the Masonic ritual, and were very i'm

Aside from this, there was at least as

desperate endeavor to override the

says one thousand Democrats voted for
General Harrison on that account.
