NEW YORK CAPITALIST LOST
FIVE DAYS IN WYOMING.
his FOOD SUPPLY SHORT
Had millions in Securities and Could
Write Check that Would be Hon
ored for Half Million, But Gould Buy
No Food. $

Snowbound in the mountains, 100
miles from Cody, Wyo., most of the
time without food, save the scraps
that had been left from before the
storm, Is the experience Of ". r. Coe,
a Wall street broker and capitalist,
who raj in Billings yesterday morn
ing on his way from a hunting trip
in northern Wyoming to the Pacific
coast where he will spend some time.
Mr.. Coe stopped in Billings between
trains ito write to his wife at Fairhaven,
Mass, and 1t was while here that he
told the story Of being snowbound. He
came in from Cody shortly after mid
night on the stage and left for the
west on No. 8 shortly after 8 o'clock.
He expects to visit in Butte and then
go on to Seattle and Portland.
According to Mr.. Coe, he was hunt
ing in the mountains when the recent.
snowstorm came up and the now was
SO heavy that it blocked the path and
he was unable to find his way. His
supply of food ran short and though
he had securities in his safe in New
York worth millions Of dollars and
count write a check that would be
honored for more than half a million
dollars it was impossible for him to
purchase food. Money, securities and
everything else were ~valueless as life
sustainers when pitted against a snow
storm and in the mountains miles from
habitation.
He says that while he admires the
country in northern Wyoming and had
a delightful time, barring the now
storm, he does not want to go through
the same experience again. He wants
to stay in more densely populated COM
munities, where the money he has
acquired will buy him not only the ne-
cessities, but the Injuries of life.

!. o. o. r. MEMORIAL SERVICES

The services took place Sunday af-
ternOon at YOnge's Hall and quite a
pumber Of Odd Fellows and friends
assembled to commemorate the death
OF departed members in a well ar
ranged and executed program. ]. F.
Thompson, noble grand, presided. The
playing and singing by DR.. and Mrs.
l.. F.. Blalock and Mrs. T. H. John
son was pleasing feature of the af-
ternoon, while the eulogy of departed
brothers by NJ. M. Little was a very
interesting contribution to local Odd
Fellowship history in Ocala. Those
he mentioned were Captain Cleary,
John Cordero and Prof. Colby, all well
and favorably known to our older res
idents. Captain Cleary was one of
the founders of the Presbyterian
church in Ocala and one of it's deac-
ons. Justice Cordero for many years
dispersed justice in this precinct and
was man who won all hearts by his
generous impulses and correct sense
of equity. Prof. Colby, as a photo
grapher and musician, had few equals
and his death was a distinct loss to
Ocala. The recent deaths were those
Of G. A. Sanders and w. T. Cole. DR..
w. H. Dodge, pastor of the Presby-
terrain church, made a splendid ad-
dress on the virtues of Odd Fellow
ship. Jake Brown acted as chaplain.
After the ceremonies the flowers
brought to the lodge room were taken
to the cemetery and distributed on the
graves of the departed. The Odd Eel
lows are to be commended for the adj
mirable manner in which they carried
out their program.

hatred in America was reiterated with
emphasis yesterday at the annual
memorial service held at the Confed-
crate cemetery at Camp Chase. where

lucky Cavalry, under Gen. John H.
Morgan, the famous raider, who was
captured with some of his men and
confined for time in the Ohio peni-
tertiary, whence he escaped. Rev.
Cuerrant said that forty three years
ago it would have taken all of Gen.
r. e. Lees army to have brought him
here, but on this occasion his only
escort was his daughter, "a little rebel
girl" Rev. Guerrant said that he had
seen many things that once he neve:
expected to see, and one of them was
a Confederate captain speaking in the
capital city of Ohio.
Judge David F. Pugh spoke for the
q. A. R., and other civil war veteran
associations. AL G. Field, minstrel,
also delivered an address. Members
Of the Grand Army and of the United

asked him to keep the money. which
he did.
At the hearing Saturday, Judge
