Two Old Pioneers Died
Saturday Last.


Lurens H. Johnston is dead
He has answered the last Roll
Call His death came suddenly
and without a struggle, for he
was found dead in bed at Mr.. and
Mrs. Elders home in Challis,
where he has been living since
the death of his wife less than
year ago. He passed to the
Great Beyond Saturday morn
ing, September oath, 1910. He
was on the street the previous
day, and although feeble, was in
about as good health as usual, so
his sudden death was a shock to
his many friends in this COM
munity.
MIR. Johnston was one of the
early pioneers of .Challis--com-
ing here in 1878 or 1879, and has
resided here ever since, and has
been one of our best and most
prominent citizens. He was an
old soldier, and saw much hard
service during the war between
the North and South; was also a
prominent attorney, and Com
missioner of the U. S. Land Off
ce. He has also held other posi-
tions of trust during his career
in Custer county, viz Probate
Judge, County Attorney, Schoo
Superintendent, etc.
Since the death Of his wife
nearly year ago, Mr.. Johnston
has grieved very much and The
shock has told on him as it wa!
noticeable, and in his declining
years was more than his feebl'
constitution could stand, and II
solitude he never got over hi
bereavement, and welcomed tn
! day when he could meet his low
ed ones again.
Deceased was born in the Stat
of New York about IS years age
and while yet young man eros

taken in the Chrindn Forest, South Ga

shows the destruction wrought on the
giant forest trees by the climbing para

posted by the fruIt-cating birds which
frequent the forest. and, rapidly GER
ninating in any crevice containing de-
cnying matter speedily envelop the

process of strangulation. A close in
