John Pruden Crosses Great Divide

John Pruden, one of the first set
tiers in this locality, died at his home
in this city last Sunday morning
Mr.. Pruden has been in very poor
health for number of years and his
faithful companion and wife feared
many times that the end was near.
Despite his ailments and suffering he
had lived the allotted time of NAH
three score years and ten-for he
had passed his list birthday.
Mr.. Pruden came to Valley coun-
ty from Canada when the buffalo and
the red man roamed hither and thith-
er at will, when all that marked the
present city of Malta was a box car
and the only place of habitation was
tent. Year by year he witnessed
the transformation of the country
with the tide of immigration. Year
by year he beheld the steady growth
of the town, the ablishment of
splendid business enterprises, the
building of many homes; and with
these changes the buffalo and the In
dian were driven farther and farther
away, until at the time of Mr.. Pru-
denis death, not vestige Of those
primitive days were left. And at
times it is believed the old man
cherished the memory Of those first
days as best. For twenty-seven
years the deceased was associated
with r. M. Trafton in the traffic of
bones. His only immediate suryiv-
ing relative is his wife.
The fnneral services were held
Monday afternoon from the M. E.
church, Rev. Leonard j. Christler of
Glasgow, officiating. The remains
were laid at rest in the Malta ceme-
terry.

dancing were indulged in until a
late hour when refreshments, brought
in by the young people, were served.
With best wishes for countless bright

Oldest driving. The two horses took
fright and dashed ahead at a mad
pace.
One by one the children made
their way to the rear of the vehicle
and dropped off, escaping with pain
full tumbles on the road, all but a
child of 8 years, who stood scream-
ing in the wagon. Martz speeded the
auto alongside, leaped in, grabbed
the child and leaped back into the
auto, all the while going at a dizzy
speed.
