The following obituary was
published by the Calexico, Cal,
Chronicle July 9th, in memory
Of Mrs. Emmett McCOllum, a
former resident of this county.
notice of whose demise we pub
lished last week:
For many weeks past the community
has each day listened for news from
the home of Mr.. McCollum. Day after
day the wife hovered between life and
death and yet it was believed she
would recover, that she had to recoy-
er and finish her happy, busy life in
the home. 1t was not to be, July Goth,
Mrs. Ella P. McCollum gave up the
brave fight she had made and has left
all those that loved and honored her.
! Miss Ella p. Sutton was born Sept.
s, 1866, in Wabasha county, MINI.
! When about ten years of age her home
was in Pipestone county, same state,
and here she met Mr.. McCollum. On
Christmas day, 1884, they were mar
ried and moved soon afterwards to
South Dakota, Mr.. McCollum's S home.
In 1903, they and seven children came
to Imperial valley and have, for the
past two years, lived just east of Cal
exico.
Mrs. McCollum leaves ahusband and
seven children, five boys and two girls.
She was good mother and a loved
member of the community. There will
remain in the hearts of her friends a
loving thought of her and her kind
ness. She was always ready to help,
always ready to serve and we never
heard her speak an unkird word of
anyone.

he remained about nine years,
when he came to Mi!bank, engag-

Wendland has been in the EN-
ploy Of the county for a number
of years, having completed his
eleventh year of service the first
of this month. He came from
Germany to this country in

register Office. He is very
stalking in all his work and a
very good man for the place.

GIVES HIM SELP
Up TO AUTHORITIES.

Zack Salute, full blood In
dian shot and killed Constable

both of Sisseton, late yesterday
afternoon.
Salute, the Indian, lives about
two miles west of Peever. Colby

rapidly as possible, the Indian
pursuing on his pony. After
chasing him some three quarters

to be heard on all sides. It is
said the Indian had been drink
