Word vas brought to town yesterday
afternoon that Nrs. Thomas Dean had
lain down the burden of life, and thus
had solved the momentOus problem oil
the hereafter. Mrs. Dean had been a
sufferer for the past three months, from
complications resulting from her advanc.
ed age, and her ultimate death had been
expected from the first. All that could
be done by the loving hands OF her hus-
band and children. coupled with the
skill OF the attending physician, was
done for the sufferer, a nd the last days
of her earthly journey we're made as
comfortable as possible. Rev. P P. Pran
do, of the Holy Family mission admins
tered the consultations Of her chosen
faith on the evening before her death,
and the end finally came, in peace and
quiet. Mrs. Dean had been a resident
of the community for about ten years,
and was beloved by everyone. She
leaves a family of three sons who are
well known throughout northern Mon
tana, besides two daughters, one, the
wife OF Chairman Perkins of the board
of county commissioners, aud one the
widow of Merritt McNutt. a prosperous
%stockman OF the Marias, who died last
spring.
The surviving husband and rel atives
have the sympathy of all, in their sad
bereavement, and have for their ~consola-
ton, the knowledge that a duty well

nal reward. The remaias will be laid

Mr.. Tracy OF the seed section of the
department of agriculture is classifying
the various names OF American vegeta-
| bles. Every scotsman has his own spe-
cially named vegetable of each species
always a little finer or more select
than the ordinary variety furnished by
the rest of the world. This has resulted
in a large excess of ma mes over varieties.
For instance, Mr. Tracy has found ia the
! different catalogues, 692 different cab-
bages, whereas the actual number Of
varieties is only about 100 he says. The
catalogues would have us believe that
there are 3l2 different kinds Of lettuce
but the department knows of only 81
varieties. Other vegetables which have
been taken up so far are beans, beets,
and cucumbers, in all of which one
variety masks under from three to six
names. The department intends to issue
a phamphlet giving the result of this
classification. -Husban dman.

James Grady Dead From

~EF0CSAA Se
Coroner Titus received a telephone
message from Pondora Tuesday after
noon. stating that James Grady had
beer found dead on the prairie, at a
point about two miles from his sheep
camp, in that vicinity. Mr.. Grady had
been herding sheep for August Kropp,
and was last seen alive, by his employer,
last Friday, at noon. The first intima-
ton that something had gone wrong,
was the appearance of his ban | of sheep
ut George Mackie's ranch where they
strayed, without herder, last ,,onday.
Mr.. Mackie instituted a search and
found the body, as above stated. Mr.
Grady was about 60 years of age and it
is probable that his death was caused by
exposure and exhaustion. He was we'll
known in the county, and it is reported
that he had a 5000 bank deposit. He
had no relatives in this state, SO far as
is known. The body was taken to the
home ranch and MI. Kropp will provide
a suitable burial, the coroner believing,
FROM the information at hand, that an
inquest is unnecessary.
