Death of II. X. Burnpll

Big Stone friends last week
received word that H. Z. Burnell
died at his home in Los Angeles,
Cal, on April 10th. No particu-
lars were received except that
the cause of death was some af-
fectlon Of the stomach or liver
and that according to the wish
of the deceased, the funeral rites
of the Masonic order were ren
dered and the body was cremat-
ed.
The deceased leaves a wife at
Los Angeles, a daughter by a
former wife, Mrs. r. @. Cargill
of Minneapolis. and son, Vern,
who is in the I S. navy, at pres
ent in Shanghai, China. He was
% years of age.
Herb Burnell was one of the
bunch of young men who came
west and settled at Big Stone
City when the town was first
plated at the opening up OF
Grant county, aud was one of the
jolly ones. Kindly memories
will be aroused in the minds of
all these old friends by the an.
nouncement of his decease.
The writer had the pleasure OF
a visit with him at his home in
California just q year ago, and
found him the same jolly, com
pan ionable fellow he was IN the
olden days, with glowing pros
poets ahead, and little dreaming
that the span of his life had about
been completed.
The old Grant county boys all
join in extending sympathy to
the stricken wife and family.

GOOD BEAR STORY FROM OREGON
Henry VOlkmar Sees Things While
on Prospecting Tour.


Portland, Oregon, April PA
bear story that is vouched for as
being gospel truth comes out
of the wilds of southwestern Or
egon. Along the Upper Skies
river, in Curry county, people
are few and far between and
such an advantage might befall
one there.
Al Miller, Walter Endicott and
Henry Vollmar, all from Myrtle
Point, were prospecting for gold
recently on the Upper Skies,
camping in split shake cabin
near Salmon mountain. just be-
low the cabin and across a gulch
was an open glade and the pros
pectorS agreed this was a favor
able place for deer to come at
night to feed.
One night Walter and Henry
took the gun and went for deer,
leaying AL sitting in the cabin.
The door was left open and there
was no light within. Soon big
black bear walked in and reared
upon his hind legs, invitinga hug.
Al could not get out the door
for the bear barred the way. He
jumped upon the table and then
swung up on the cross beams
overhead where few shakes
were lying for the storage of
provisions. The bear walked on
his hind feet, looking up at Al
and daring him to come down.
The treed prospector sifted flour
down, thinking to blind bruin
but the flour went on the bear $
head and back and had no effect
A can of kerosene was handy,
SO he poured this down on the
bear. Most Of it went on his
back, however, and Al then
thought to drop a match. He
had few in his pocket but the
first one broke and fell without
lltttlll9 tilt lllNduel lIe StCOilu
dropped square on the bear 5
neck.
Instantly he was all afre. He
shot out Of the door and down
the trail with the speed of a can
non ball. Twenty yards below
the cabin he met Walter and
Henry, the latter with q deer
strapped on his back. Both fell
into the brush with loud yells as
the blazing bear rushed toward
them. al has kept his adventure
from his partners and they have
had a great deal of trouble eX
Iplaining the flaming apparitior
that charged down upon them.

DARKTVW.N PEOPLE EXCELLENT
The Home Talent Minstrel Show
Wakes Up the Old Town.

Following a long time custom
the Darktown Ministrels gave
an afternoon parade through the
streets last Tuesday afternoon,
and it required more than a doz
en- automobiles to transport the
company, which was headed by
the band, and attracted a crowd
nearly as great as a circus.
A good crowd turned out to
the evening performance, and
the spirit of the occasion was so
enticing that a mum Der Of the
young folks who were not IN the
play used the burnt cork and
got their darky tixings on aud
engaged the boxes.
A splendid program was given,
and the audience kept in a roar
ing good humor by the excellent
take offs and catchy songs, fol
lowing one after another. Fred
Schneider and Billy johnson as
end men were seemingly to the
manor born, and their assist
ants, Miss Mary Schumacher,
Mrs. Bruce Middlebrook, Mrs.
G. S. Rix, Mrs. G.. E. Mills and
Mrs. Thompson in solos and
duets made happy time OF it,.
The juvenile cake walk by the
pickaninnies also afforded lots of
fun ana was heartily applauded.
The juveniles consisted of the
little Misses Nadene Mills, Nor
ma Lindquist, Dorothy and Cor
nelia kaercher, Louise Flett, Lu-
,cile Prevey, Margaret 3oIck,
Bea Wilson, and Dallas Briggs,
leader.
A fine chorus assisted and
the whole affair was a great sue
cess, and Miss Hall, the lady
who superintended the affair, is
entitled to congratulations for
the happy manner in which the
show was presented. Some
S197 worth of tickets were sold.
