cents hospital. There he remained
until Sunday night. when he breathed
his last. a willing victim to duty. an
other OF the many unknown and soon
forgotten heroes who each winter
yield their lives in guarding the trust
reposed In them by the men that en-
ploy them.
Had Patrick Haggerty met death
on the field of carnage a shaft would
be reared to his memory. Had he
died while taking human life amidst
the noise and carnage of battle his
praises would be sung and his name
perpetuated in song and story. But
he was only a sheepherder," and
there are hundreds more like him,
shiftless, wandering wretches, objects
OF contempt and often scorn, but
when brought to the test the very
personifcation of trustworthiness and
fidelity.

"oNLY A ~SHEEPHERDER.r
Touching Tribute to An Unfortunate
by Jean Decker of the Gazette.

py jean OeCkcT OF tHc SdZcttc.
Three weeks ago a terrific storm
swept v er the southern part of Fer
gus county. A band of sheep belong
ing to Nolan & Thompson. and rang
ing between Flatwillow and Arrow
creeks, was lost with their herder,
Pat Haggerty. He remained with his
band until the intense cold caused
him to drop from exhaustion. He was
taken to Billings and there, in st.
Vincent's hospital, he died last Sun
day night. The following touching
tribute was written by Jean Decker,
the accomplished editor Of the Bill
ings Gazette:
Because he was only a shepherd
err and as such only an atom in the
large family of humanity, not to be
considered as amounting to more
than one of the animals given in
his charge, poor, old Pat Haggerty
will not long be missed. The grave
will conceal his mutilated, decrepit
form and only as some of the other
lonely men wandering with their
focks about the hills and prairies
may chance to meet will his name
be recalled as they speculate on their
own chances of escaping death in the
form in which it overlook him. But
for all that Patrick Haggerty was of
the stuff that heroes are made and
he gave his life in devtion to the
humble duty he had assumed. Great
er than this no man could do and
more none could give.
When the fierce storm that swept
over the state a couple of weeks ago
closed about him Haggerty did not
abandon the flock that his wealthy
employers had entrusted TO his care,
He forgot self and thought only OF
the safety of his charge. When shell
ter and protection could easily nave
been had by simply allowing the dumu
brutes he was guarding to break and
shift for themselves, he remained
with them and faced the danger nc
knew was at hand. Only when the
frost that was filling the air had pen
etrated his scanty clothing n en-
tered his very blood and bone nc
could go no farther did he lie down
and then only because his frozen zee
refused TO carry him any longer. III

DEVOTE TIME TO MINING.
Clifford Wilson Disposes of His
Trenton Business.

E. Clifford Wilson, of Trenton, N.
j., has disposed of his business in
that city and will devote his time to
his mining interests in Fergus coun-
ty. He is n of the chief stockhold-
ers in the Case-Wilson Cyanide Dc
velopment company, whose proper
ties are located in the Cone Butte
district. The following clipping from
the Trenton Times will be of inter-
est to Mr.. Wilson's many friends in
Lewistown:
IF you have anything you want to
dispose of there is no way of making
disposition like newspaper advertis-
ing" This is the tribute paid adver-
Using by Z. Clifford Wilson, who has
just sold the last of the stock of the
Wilson Daylight carpet store.
About two months ago Mr.. Wilson
began to look for a new store because
of the expiration April | of the lease
on the place of business which he has
occupied for a number of years on
East State street.
He was unable to secure suitable
quarters and decided to close out his
business. He at once began extern
sive advertising and large lads"
were run daily in the Trenton Times.
This method brought purchasers, and
now that his stock is disposed of Mr..
Wilson finds that he secured a fair
price for every article and that the
total amount realized is in excess of
figures offered him for the stock in
bulk by Trenton merchants.
This closing out sale continued less
than two months, and in that time
one of the largest lines of house fur
nishing goods in the city was sold,
and so completely that today there
is not enough left in the store TO pay
one to cart it away.
Fixtures were also offered for sale,
and these things, including the safe
and desks of the office, found ready
purchasers. The store will be closed
tomorrow. Friday, being April /. and
the day of expiration of the lease.
Mr.. Wilson will in the future devote
his time to large mining interests.
