Johnnie NUM- has received a letter
and a paper from Mrs. Chester +.
Morse, who resides in Titusville, Penn
sylvania, containing the pathetic
news of the death OF her brother,
Harry Buser, who died in that city
from paralysis on the night Of Sep
TENDER 3rd. The end came after
months OF acute suffering on the part
OF the hapless young man, a part OF
which time he was entirely deprived
of the power ofspeech and the ability
to move the muscles of his right side,
but he bore the ordeal with COM
mendable patience and fortitude.
The news Of Buser's death will cause
asorrowful feeling among hisfriends,
and particularly will his loss be felt
by his comrades who shared with
him the joys and sorrows OF their orr
entail campaign. He came to Lewis
town from Belt about three years
ago to exercise his calling OF a bar
Der. He soon became known as a
bluff, whole-souled young man, with
a nature pulsating with the best and
kindliest feeling OF the human heart,
and upon which were strongly i'm
pressed both candor and generosity.
When the call for volunteers for the
Spanish war came he enlisted in COM
pany l, OF this city, and went to the
front, serving through the campaign
in the Philippines with great credit
both to himself and to his company.
To the qualities which had made him
so popular as n citizen he added many
Others as a soldier. chief among which
were great courage and an uncom-
planning spirit In the midst OF the
severest kind OF trials. He thus won
fer himself the friendship Of nearly
every MAI in his regiment. After
being mustered out in San Francisco
last fall he went to Pennsylvania,
expecting to return to Montana In
the spring, but he was suddenly
stricken with paralysis and remained
at his home until carried to his final
resting place and buried with mill
tary honors. The following obitu-
