Charles Baird Dead.

Souris Messenger: Charles
Baird. one of the pioneers of
Bottineau county, and one of
the most highly respected citi-
zens of this com munity died at
the Rest hospital, Minneapolis,
of paralysis, Saturday evening.
The sad news did not reach
his friends here until Monday
morning owing to the fact that
the telegraph station here is
closed Sundays. As decedent
had no relatives here, Mr.. Fred
Brainard neighbor and warm
friend, left at once for Min
neapolis to take charge of the
remains, and arrange for bur-
ial. A message from Mr..
Brainard to Undertaken Garden
received yesterday, states that
the body will not be shipped
here for burial as expected,
but does not state where or
when interment will be made.
Charles Baird was an Eng
lishman, born in that country
45 years ago. Of his ancestry
we know but little, as he was
a man uncommunicatiye in
the extreme, especially as re-
garded himself and his people,
but everything about him be-
spoke good breeding and ex-
cellent education. It is said,
that in an unguarded moment,
he let slip the fact to some of
his intimates, that he had been
the recipient of a college de-
gree before he reached the age

being connected with the @.

are heavy enough for ordinary
traffic,
