cloud Of gloom over our little city

a general breakdown.

1912 and died in Sentinel Butte,

removed there in 1870. He was
married to Miss Caroline Woods
1880 in London, Canada, and they
removed to this county in 1882
where he lived until his death.
To this union nine children were
born, six of whom are living,
William, Charles, Edward, Albert,
Mable and Maude. He was form.
erly a member Of the Methodist
church but at the time of his death
belonged to the Congregational
church at this place.

time between his death and the

a large attendance.
The whole community is wrap.

the sincere sympathy Of all in thei1
bereavement.

Another fatal accident caused by
gas in a we'll, occurred last week
about three miles south Of Haley,
on the claim of Hoken Hanson,
that gentleman being the victim.
Mr.. Hanson moved to his claim
about three months ago and sunk
a we'll. Desiring to go into it he
went down hand over hand on the
rope. His wife was at the top
of the we'll, and when he got part
way down she spoke to him, and
receiving no reply called again.
She became alarmed and ran to
the neighbors for assistance. When
they came and pumped the gas out
of the we'll, the unfornate man was
found at the bottom. He was
somewhat bruised, showing that
he had been overcome by gas be
