VIOLENT DEATH

BOHEMIAN, Mont, Aug. 2.--James
III. Kennedy, aged "a years, one of the
most picturesque pioneers not only of
this state but of the entire west, reach
ing to the Pacific coast, met a violent
death at Belgrade, near this place, late
yesterday afternoon.
He had been assisting his son, Ben
jamin Kennedy, in a wheat field and
had been left with a team and reaper
while the son returned to the house
for some binding twine.
The latter had barely reached the
house when he was followed by the
horses and reaper, dragging I'm their
wake the dead body of the aged pio-
neer.
The old man had evidently had a
partial paralytic stroke while on the
seat of the reaper and had fallen, his
foot catching in the "trip"
In 1853 Mr.. Kennedy started overland
for Oregon walking the entire distance
and swimming every river from the
Mississippi. He carried the first In
dian scalp into Yreka, Cal, and re-
ceived a bounty of $780, He went from
California to South America thence to
New York and later to Montana.
