UNDERTAKEN SCOTT LEAD.
A Prominent Figure in the Business
Life of Washington-His Career.

The death of Mr.. McKerzie Scott,

ness life Of Washington q strong and
forceful character. He was a seIf-made
man In the fullest sense Of the terw ,
He began without anything, so to
speak-wlthout means, without educa-
tion and without tha announcement
that makes men out OF boys, He built
up a most successful undertaking bus
ness which was due very largely to his

industry and his intense love Of his
business and to having possessed that /
happy faculty Of mixing and OF making i
friends on sil hands. His career reads
like O romance.
He WAS born in SpOttsyivania county,
Va, In 1853. He never knew the ten
der devot!ons of mother, for when he
was very young his mother died, leav-
ING three young children behind. His
father married q second time anu soon
after this marriage, while still young
Child, he was forced to leave schO j and
90 10 work. He worked ae farm hand
on one of the farms in SpOttsy yIYauIs,
until he reached his eleventh year
Then he left and went to Frederick

tions for some time and ne decided to

Il gaVs fond OF horses and in Wash2Eg-
ton. he received emI lOyment which he
liked best. He was hired as hustler
in livery stable. He always had an
ambitious mind, trying each Gay 10

this ul8ce for sometime, he at last sccU-
mulated enough money 10 buy for him-

About this time he met Miss Home

of this marriage, two children Anna L.
and Edward Z. were born. La 1889 ne
onened an undertaking establishment
on IL street southwest. He remained
at this place for about 3 years, experi-
encing the joys and disappointments
of q business life. In 1881, he bought
lot on 2nd street, and built a business
mace and dwelling after bis own design.
In this place, he hoped to stamp hls ca
reer. He struggled hard and as years
relied on his euccess continually IN

ney of Logan county, was arrested
Tuesday afternoon on an indictment
C arging him with embezzlingS $1,S90
from the funds entrusted to him by
Mrs. Sarah Brownell. He gave bond
and was not sent to Jail. Mrs. Brow
nell is wealthy lady residing in this
city, and gave the money to Attorney
Moore to invest. He has ever since re-
fused to make an accounting and a
short time ago she secured a judgment
against him for the amount but being
unable and unwilling to satisfy the

A Model Citizen

DO you know him, ever see.
Polished, gifted Sam McGee?
Lives among the Lawrence hills,
Far away from city Ills;
Has a pleasant open face,
And an old-time courtly grace;
Has word for every one,
Cheers you like the morning sun;
Always quiet, smiling, calm,
Every one admires Sam.
SPENT his boyhood on the farm,
Then Ambition woye her charm,
Pointing out how victory
Might be won by such as he;
Started life by teaching school,
Always acting on this rule:
kindness first, and firmness then
Wins alike with boys and men,"
Always working with will,
Step by step he climbed the hill;
Used the hammer and the saw,
Changing off to practice law.
Ought to hear him try a case,
See the smile upon his face
AS he leads a witness on,
Asking questions pro and con;
Talk of charming off bush,
Sam can sing sweet as thrush;
Ought to hear his silver tongue.
When a point in law is sprung;
Knows just when to strike the tide,
Proving up he has the side,
Closes with an easy grace,
Almost sure to win the case.
Although he studies politics,
Sam will ne'er descend to tricks;
His sympathies are always wide
He calmly gauges either side,
But never sits upon the fence,
Exchanging sentiments for pence;
Energetic, loyal, true,
He stands by the Red, White and Blue
And counts it as Columbias pride,
Bringing victory to the right side,
Always open, honest, just,
Worthy of the peoples trust;
Many voters yet can tell
He has served his country well;
Years have scarcely left their trace
On his placid, smiling face,
And we trust that he will see
The dawn of new century.
When he crosses The Divide,
Passes to the other side,
Expect he'll climb the Golden Stair,
Join the just. made perfect there,

TRAGEDY
NEAR DEADW00D

Deadwood, S. D, Aug. 1S.-Excite-
ment is running nigh in this part of the
Black Hills over the unearthing today
of the remains of a man three miles
south of this city near Puma.
About FIVE weeks ago an old miner
named W II. Ward created a great
deal of talk by his actions toward
three brothers. Lee, Kirk and Harry
Shepherd. The old man professed to
think a great deal of Harley, the
youngest. and promised him several
thousand dollars as soon as he reached
his majority. All three boys suddenly
disappeared. and when questioned
Ward pretended to be broken up over
the matter. Harley returned after
ward, but there were no signs of the
other two brothers. A searching party
went through the old mans house and
al over his premises. searching tunnels
shafts and wells, but failed to find the
boys Ward once asked one of the
sesrchers what would be done to him
If the bodies of the missing boys were
found on his premises.
When told that he would be strung
up ne acted strangely. He went with
one Of the searching parties to the
creek near his house and helped search
for the boys. but soon made the ex-
cuse that he must return to the house.
and he has not been seen since that
day.
The remains found today were COW
cred with about two feet of earth in
Wards potato patch near the cabin.
