We clip the following from the Montana
Advocate, published in Bozeman:
Little Sarah Jane Williams, known as
Daisy" after an illness of fourteen days
died of blood poisoning last Tuesday at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Barnaby, and
was buried from the Christian church on
Wednesday. Daisy was in her eighth year,
and with her younger brother had been
with Mrs. Barnaby for nearly two years.
The father and mother separated several
years ago. The fathers w~hereabouts have
not been known for some time. The
mother until recently has been in commu-
nication with the children, and often Wis
tied them, but during the last illness and
death Mr.. Barnaby tried in vain to find
her by telegraphing to the last point where
she was heard from. If either of the par
ents look upon this they will know that
their little Daisy is gone.
The mother referred to is the notorious
Mrs. Elmer, well known in this county
from her persistent penchant for marrying
without the troubles of divorce getting.
When last seen she passed through Phil
brook in company with a tin horn EN-
route for Neihart.
