We understand, and all indications
go to prove, that there is considerable
attraction between two prominent
young people in the vicinity Of Sher-
man. That attraction has not been
thoroughly tested by scientists to
know whether it is love, cohesion or
adhesion.
The Sherman correspondent. by the
kindness of Mr.. Granville Faulkner,
has been granted the privilege to give
in this column the following article on
the late Mr.. Allen Faulkner, a brother,
who met with a sad and sudden death
at Glenns Ferry, Idaho, only a few days
ago:
Mr.. Allen Faulkner was born at Sa-
vannah, Mo-, Aug. 4. 1873. at which
place he spent his youthful days. He
attended the Savannah high school,
but did not graduate. Being granted a
teachers certificate. he entered upon
that vocation. He was also a musi-
clan, making that a special study: wa
also the leader of the Baptist church
choir for about two years.
Mr.. Faulkner remained at or near
Savannah until about four years ago.
when he became DESTROYS of taking up
some other occupation. This was the
of his coming to Wyoming. The
first summer Mr.. Faulkner was in Wy
oming he ranged sheep for Mr.. Pascoe,
only a few miles northwest of Laramie.
He then vent into business for himself,
buying several sections of land near
Mud springs. at which place he remain
ed and ran sheep until this last Feb
ruary. when he sold his property to Mr..
Pascoe. About March LIST he and his
brother bought the Atherly ranch, east
of this city, where they looked forward
to a bright future. About April LIST Mr..
Faulkner started west looking after
another location for sheep. He left
with the intention Of going to Rawlins,
and probably did. and then continued
his journey on west. Nothing was
heard Of the young man from the time
Of leaving here until the sad news was
received from Glenns Ferry on April
7th. Mr.. Atherly at once went to that
place and returned with the remains
on the following Monday. The funeral
services took place at Undertaken
Stryker's department on Tuesday
morning, April 15. at 1890 O'Clock.
Simple but appropriate services were
held by Rev. H. Warren Nice Of the
Baptist church.
