A SAD DEATH.

On Monday evening, July 10Th,
1900, at about $50 o. clock, a sad
accident occurred near the farm
of Mr.. E. p. Wilson, three miles
north of Challis, which has cast
a gloom of sadness over this
communicative sudden and un-
expected death by accident of
Miss Clyta Bradbury, the young
est daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Bradbury, of Challis.
On this fatal day Clyta in COM
pany with her mother, and a
number of young children went
over to Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson's
place, on Challis creek. for a
visit and an outing. Clyta and
several of the other children
present for recreation and amuse-
ment concluded that they would
take a horse back ride, and on
the same horse with Clyta was
Ruby Jones, the seven year old
daughter of Mrs. Chas. Wilkin-
son of this place. 1t is supposed
that the children, las there was a
number of them riding their
horses), started to race, and the
horse rode by Clyta and Ruby
became frightened and they lost
all control of the animal, and
both children were thrown to
the ground in a violent manner,
and Clyta was killed almost in
stantly, without speaking a word.
She was badly bruised internally
as well as outwardly.
Some are of the opinion that
the poor girl was kicked by the
horse after she fell, as quite a
cash was cut in her head; others
think that she was stepped upon
by the horse after being thrown
off: and still others are of the
opinion that her death was caus-
ed by the terrible fall that she
received among the rocks. The
other children present were so
excited that they can give no re-
liable information. 1t will never
be known exactly how the un-
fortunate girl met her death.
A farm hand near by rushed
to the poor girls rescue, and
picking her up carried her in his
arms to the irrigating ditch, only
few steps away. and bathed
the girls face, but it was of no
use for she was past all human
help. The spark of life had fed
and poor little Clyta was dead.
She never knew what hurt her,
as she died in perhaps five min
utes after her fall. The other
little girl was unconscious for
several hours after the accident,
but is not seriously injured. The
day of mirth and pleasure ended
with death and sorrow

Death is another life. We bow our heads
At going out, we think, and enter straight
Another golden chamber of the Kings,
Larger than this we leave and lovelier,
And then. in shadowy glimpses disconnect,
The story, flower like, closes thus its leaves.
Poor little Clyta is dead ! One
of our most lovable and charming
young ladies was called to an
other life without a moments
warning A beautiful rose
plucked from the Garden of
Life, and mother, father, sister,
relatives, friends and schoolmates
in deep sorrow. But life at the
best, is only step from the
cradle to the grave.
1t was a sad death, indeed.
Death by accident is doubly sad.
She was just entering upon
young womanhood, and had near
ly whole life before her-born
in Challis, Idaho, IA years and
about 6 months ago. She was so
young; yet so fair. 1t is with
greater sadness that one beholds
the green leaf of Spring fall from
the tree than the scar leaf of
Autumn. Clyta was the baby of
the family-the fathers and
mothers joy; the sisters love
and the schoolmates' companion.
The funeral services were held
from the |. o. o. F. hall in this
place, the following day, July
18th, at 5 o'clock p. m., conduct
ed by Rev. Guy Foster, attended
by a large congregation of our
people. The services were short
and great deal of grief and sor-
row was felt by all present. Six
small boys, about Clyta's age,
acted as pail bearers. The white
coffin lid was covered with choice
floral tributes. The remains
were laid peacefully to rest in
the village cemetery-her last
resting place.
The sympathy of the entire
community goes out for the par,
ents and relatives in their sad
bereavement.

reaper that with his trenchani
