Was Not a Funeral Note.

a young man named Ernest Carter was
visiting IL chance cowboy acquaintance in
Lyman County one day recently. A sud-
den thunderstorm came up-a flash Of
lightning and the visiting cowboy lay
dead. A coroner's inquest, with a physi-
clans certificate, found that death was
caused through a visitation of providence.
No friends could be found within reach.
The jury failed to find any property, so
the county was compelled to take charge
of the interment. A coffin was procured,
a grave dug, and the sheriff, with one as
~sistant, drove to the cemetery and carefully
laid the body to rest. There were no
mourners, none to follow the vehicle bear
ing the dead.
