your patronage because it is a western

| dale, received this morning,
announced that H. NJ. Henderson,
one of the pioneer residents of
Verndale and owner of the Verndale
Sun, had died at his home at $50
this morning, death resulting from a
cancer.
Mr., Henderson had suffered with
cancer for several years past, and
about January 1, went to Minnea-
polls to receive treatment from a
specialist. His trip was of little
benefit to his condition and he re-
turned home in February. The

Henderson's constitution and he
failed rapidly, until death came to
his relief, this morning.
H. M. Henderson was one of the
best-knoWn country newspaper
men in the state of Minnesota.
He had been a resident of Vern-
dale for the past sixteen years and
had conducted the Verndale Sun,
bringing that publication from a
struggling weakling to one of the
best weeklies in the state.
Mr.. Henderson was quite
prominent in the county and has
for some time been postmaster at
Verndale, the office being in
recognition of his political work.
The Verndale editor was a
member of the Great Northern
Editorial association, which organ
ization has as its members news
paper men who live in towns
adjacent to Great Northern rail-
way lines.
Mr.. Henderson was a member of
the executive committee of the edi-
torial association and took promi-
nent part in all matters pertaining
to the editors. -
Mr.. Henderson was 81 years old,
andris survived by a wife, having
no children. The funeral will be
held at Verndale tomorrow afternoon
at 3 O'Clock.
Mr.. Henderson was very popular
among his fellow editors, being of
a geniel, obliging disposition, and
his death is sincerely regretted by
all the boys" and g girls" of the
fourth ESTATE"
