} DEATH ROLL :
Harold Westcott.

A telegram was received by R.
A. Hall Tuesday addressed to M.
l.. Mertz which conveyed the sad
news of the death of Harold West
colt at Loon Lake, N. Y, at 2
o'clock Tuesday morning.
Harold Westcott was the son of
Edward Noyes Westcott, who was
the author of David Harum, and
was reared in Syracuse, N. Y.
Harold came to San Angelo four
years ago primarily for the benefit
of his health. He purchased q
ranch near Water Valley, known
as the Lone Wolf ranch and en-
gagged in the cattle business. Dur
ing the past winter and the early
spring his health began to fail
and he left in the spring for the
Adirondack Mountains in New
York, expecting to spend the
summer there and hoping to i'm
prove i'll health and return to San
Angelo this coming winter. His
health, however, continued to de-
cline until Tuesday when at Loon
Lake in the beautiful Adiron-
dacks he laid down the cares and
troubles of this old world and
passed into the great beyond
where there is no sickness, no
sorrow and the spirit may find
peaceful rest.
Harold Westcott was a young
man whom everyone liked OF q
warm, impulsive nature, genial,
good-hearted ana with a cheerful
disposition, he claimed many
friends all through this western
country who feel that in the loss
of Harold Westcott there is the
loss of one who made the world
brighter by his presence in it.

The Carnival Wedding.

The public wedding at the Car
nival last fall was such an at
traction that the management
have decided to put it on again
this year. Last year something
like S400 or $500, exclusive of two
town lots and an acre of land,
was donated for wedding presents
for the happy couple.
1t is expected that this amount
will be exceeded as this feature is
so popular, and il is safe to say
that the couple who volunteers to
be welded in front of the grand
stand this year will receive be-
tween $500 and $1,000 in presents
to begin housekeeping on.
On account of lack of space we
are unable to publish list of pres
ents this week.
The Carnival Committee on
matrimony is ready TO receive
applicants for the public wedding

received will be accepted. All

for----; we mustn't tell

was painting his big Colonial
house. Said it took 10 gallons of

We sent him 10 gallons and
said: if you get it all on, no pay
if you have any left, return it
and pay for the rest. Agreed.
He returned four gallons and
took the agency. Four or five
years ago. He knows now that
