Call This Morning.

Bury me, boys. as the sun goes down."
That was the dying request of Robert
A. Benson, an old soldier, to his COM
rades in the Grand Army of the Republic.
The old soldier died just as the sun
came up this morning. He was "a strang-
err in Butte, but not a stranger to his
country's call" for he had served his ma
tive land faithfully and well on the field
of battle.
At the opening of the rebellion he en-
listed in the 9TH Minnesota and served in
the ranks throughout the war. His home
was in Brainerd, Mimi. where he resided
with his wife, who survives him. 1913 ~

Butte where he had three daughters liv-
ing. He liked the climate and decided to
locate here.
Last July he was attacked with can
Ger in the left eye. At first 1t was mere
ly a white speck on his eye and he paid
no attention to it. But it kept growing
larger until 1t developed into a cancer.
He was under the treatment of DR.. Whit
ford for some time, but the cancer had
there was no hope for him.
The end came at the break of day this
morning m at shutdown tomorrow even

morrow evening. The funeral will be un-

what is more surprising, in view of

The report did not please Colonel
