Death called one Of Harne,
county's highly respected pioneer
citizens Thursday, June 3, anc
\ yesterday the mortal remains Of
our old friend, M. V. Smith was
laid to rest in the Burns cemetery
By loving hands who honored
him. A short service was held
al the home Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Simon Lewis, being conducted
by DIR. l.. E. Hibbard.
Mr.. Smith had been failing in
health for several months and his
death was not unexpected. He
had been making his home with
his daughter, Mrs. Scott Hayes,
for some time and she had been
giving him the best Of care. It
was doubly hard for his daughter
as she had but recently lost a
sister.
Mr.. Smith was born in the
state Of Maine Jan. 10 1888. He
came to the coast in the early
fiifties and took up mining in
California, later he began farm
ing in the same state. He fol-
lowed this occupation together
gardening, fruit raising and
freighting until 1886 when he
came to this country and settled
first on Silver Creek where he
engaged in the stock business,
later going TO Lawen where he
had lived since 1892. He was
0rst married in California on
Jan. 28, 1864 and to this union
two children were born, Othniel,
deceased, and lzora, wife of
Scott Hayes. In August 1876,
his first wife died. He was mar
ried again in 1876 and two child
rem were born to this second
Ada l.. Miller, who
died March 20, this year, and
Otto V. who is now in California.
Deceased was one of our hon
ored pioneers who leaves many
warm friends to mourn him.
The sympathy Of a large circle
Of friends goes out to his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Hayes, in her sorrow.

When both players had reached point
where they needed but one point to

in trying not to leave set up in case
iof miss, spent seven or eight innings
before the winning billiard was made.

A REAL cLOUDBURsT.
One That Descended Upon a Mountain
In Scotland.

What real cloudburSt is like is de-
scribed by a Scotland correspondent of
Country Life: "a cloudburSt of ex-
ceptional size descended ON the Cairn-
germ mountains, and an old watcher,
who has his hut almost exactly where
the cloud burst, gives the following de-
tails: On July 10, 1901. the morning
opened brilliantly fine and warm. with
Il cloudless sky and brilliant sunshine.
but toward noon heavy clouds formed
on the hills. and it rapidly became 50
dark that il was almost impossible to
read. He was standing in the door of
his hut, when suddenly he heard from
the hill across the glen a report like Il
thunderclap. followed by n noise like
the tearing of linen, only n thousand
times louder and more majestic in
sound Then he noticed that solid
mass of water had struck the hilltop,
and part of it, bounding up again with
the force of the impact. had descended
on the hilltop immediately behind hi;
hut Immediately afterward tire.
mendous volume of water came pour
ing down both hillsides. forming great
riffs in the hills as it swirled, irrcsiSti-
BILE in It's course, down rocks and
stones. The channel the flood sCo0ped
out was in places quite twelve feet
deep. and large rocks were tossed down
its course as if they had beeP pebbles.
| The sand and stones brought down by
| the water so damned up the river Dee
that quite an extensive loch was
| formed. During the time Of the cloud
burst the weather Il mile or two up the
glen remained fine. but TO the south
the clouds were black as night"
