A DEATH FROM HEART FAILURE
M. e. Burke Stricken While Taking Bath in a
st. Joseph Hotel Last Saturday
The people of Laclede were shock

Inc people OF Laclede were shock
ed perhaps as never before on last
Monday morning when the new.
spread about town that M. E.
Burke was dead in st. Joseph. The
news was received by phone from
Meadville, his wife at that place
having received a message stating
he was dead but gave no particul-
ars. DR.. r. w. Burke from here,
Mrs. M. E. Burke and Noble Ran
dali of Meadville and Lewis Gould
of Chillicothe went to St. Joseph
on the noon train where they learn
ed that the body had been found in
a bathtub at the Hotel Robidoux
early that morning. He had regis
terered at the hotel Saturday even
ing and after going to his room had
turned on the light and heat, dis
@OA SsAN 5OAA6 w oAo onOh IUVua
turned on both hot and cold water,
and it was the opinion of tF cor
oner that he was stricken with
heart failure and died before he
could turn the water off as it was
still running Monday morning.
The remains were brought to
Laclede Tuesday and taken to the
home of his parents, DR.. and Mrs.
j. L. Burke.
Deceased had recently accepted
the position of field agent for the
Springfield Fire and Marine insur-
ance company and was out on a
business trip, having left home two
weeks before.
Funeral services were held at the |
M. E. church Wednesday under
auspices of Meadville lodge I. o. O. |
F. assisted by the Laclede lodge. |
The services were in charge of Rev. |
Powell, the sermon being preached
by Rev. Yetter, pastor of the Mead
vile M. E. church of which the de-
ceased was a member. Rev. Sis
sons also assisted. The church
was filled with sorrowing friends
who had known, loved and respect
ed him from youth. 1t can truth
fully be said of Gene Burke that
he lived a model christian life. He
never smoked, never took chew of
20 obacco, never tasted liquor and
was never known to utter an oath. il
His sudden death was a shock not
only to his relatives but to the en-
ire community. \

N. E. Church Notes

Fine attendance, good interes
and excellent collection were re
! ported for the Sabbath school Sun
day morning. Indeed, we hav'
every reason to be proud of th'
record made by the school the pas
year. The superintendent has beer
abundant in labors and the teachers
have been loyal and the officer,
have been in their places. Nothing
succeeds like success.
Attwelve o'clock, noon, Wednes-
day, double wedding took place
at the Methodist parsonage, the
contracting parties being John
Byrd and Miss Minnie Day, Clyde
Day and Miss Edna Dodd. The
future certainly has in store many
bright prospects for these deserved
ly popular young people and their
many friends join in wishing that
their cup of joy may be full and
years of prosperity be theirs to
enjoy.
The League missionary rally,
conducted by Miss Anna Ransom,
was success. The program was
complete in every detail. Mission
ary information was gathered from
every part of the universe and the
young people certainly deserve
great credit for their careful prep
aration of their various subjects.

CHICAGO MEN BUY
PROPERTY
LAND IN ovANOO COUNTRY AND
NEVADA VALLEY PURCHASED
eY CAPITALISTS.

From a northumberland source
comes the news that deal has been
practically contaminated by which a
number of capitalists of Chicago and
Milwaukee purchase and assume con-
troll OF land in the Blackfoot country
approximating 10000 acres.
Last week there was man from
Chicago in this city who is known to
be connected with the Puget Sound
road, and he, along with others. made
arrangements by which the land is to
he purchased by the unknown buy
ers. 1t is understood that the alb
stracts of the various pieces of prop
erty involved in the transaction are
now In Minneapolis To be looked over
by attorneys for the purchasers. If
no incumberances are found to exist.
there appears to be very little doubt
but what the deal will be pulled
through.
Ten or twelve ranches are said to
be involved in the deal, including such
welI-known pieces Of property as the
Jakways & Faust ranch. near Ovan-
do: the John Forsyth place; a piece
of land belonging to A. b. Hammond
and other ranches on KIeinschmidt
The considerations for the various
tracts are not given out. although it
is known that the prices ranged from
IS to SIS an acre. one ranch of 800
acres sold for $1,000. but this in
ciudes some stock.
Just what is to he the purpose of the
purchasers Is not known. 1t has been
surmised by some that the Puget
Sound road contempiates subdividing
the lands and forming smaller tracts
for settlement, but that may or may
not be the case. The land could not
have been purchased for right-of- way
purposes, providing it has been taken
over by the railroad. for 1t is not one
block. but is scattered for several
miles.
This Is the largest land deal to be
contaminated in the Ovando country
for some time. although nearly an
equal amount of acreage in the Ne
vada valley was sold about a year ago
That property was the weli-known
Blair ranch and II was sold through
the efforts of Y. deb. smith, a real
estate dealer OF Missoula.
Following are some of the pieces of
land included i'm the purchase: viii

How would you feel If you went hunt
ing for the first time I'm your life and
got three big deer and
THEY HAD came home with the
the DEER goods and We're greeted
by the Primrose min
strel band? If you can imagine. you
can tell just how Chef Jake knusli
and Head Waiter Jim Cummings of
the Shapard hotel felt yesterday after
noon when they alighted from; the train
and heard the duicet strains of the
band They had been hunting. as was
drly chronicled In The Missonlian. and
they had brought in three deer as fine
as anybody ever saw Hence 1t was
but natural that they should consider
that the band was for them. II was a
great trip-so they both say. They
followed their original program and
went 10 Copper Cliff by way Of Bo-
nita. Lead Pipe Kelly took charge OF
them. so that the bears wouldn't bite
them and to prevent their falling over
n precipice. That made II a cinch:
that's what n lead pipe is They had
fine fishing and finer hunting and they
brought in three OF the best deer that
have been seen here this season. They

when they had enough. The trophies
Of the hunt were on exhibition yester-
day afternoon at the Shapard and were
much admired by all who saw them.
The hutners have always been popular
fellows, but they never realized until
yesterday how many admirers they had
In town. II would have taken n thou
sand deer to furnish yenison steak
apiece 10 all who applied yesterday
But the hunters didn't need any Es-
kimos: they had the deer and there
has been nobody yet to assert that they
didn't climb to the top of mountain
or that they didn't kill the deer There
have been no affidavits filed and 1t
Is not likely that there win be any. for
the deer will be all cut up into steaks
and roasts today. They got into town
with the meat before the season ex-
PRED and they know exactly where To
go next year and exactly whom to have
along with them.
