were inferred here to-day. The fun

particularly in Pueblo, where she
lived before coming to Bent county.
She was consistant, true loving
Christian wife and friend, and her
loss is sorely felt in this locality. For
several months she has been an inva-
lid under the care of physicians in
Pueblo. A few days ago, feeling
! that hope of recovery was at an end
she returned TO her home in Caddoa,
where she breathed her last.
