Easter Sunday in Greeley was
perfect as to weather conditions.
The air was soft and balmy, the
sunshine bright and glorious, with
no wind nor rain to mar the ideal
day. Attractive spring costumes
were in evidence and harmon
lied with the happy faces and pleas
ant surroundings. Greeley was as
devotional as it was we'll dressed
and the houses of worship were fill
ed both morning and evening. The
church decorations were elaborate
and beautiful. being artistic ar
rangements of spring blossoms,
palms, ferns, with a profusion OF
Easter lilies. Easter sermons we're
preached, Easter exercises given by
the children and there was special
Easter music in all of the larger
churches.
St. Peters Catholic church was
we'll filled at the morning and even
ing services. A musical program
of unusual excellence by the chorus
choir with orchestra accompaniment
was given and two sermons were de-
liyered by out of town speakers.
Under the direction OF Prof. j.
C. Kendel the chorus choir gave an
Easter cantata, 1.-The Lord of Light
and Love-, at the Congregational
church Sunday evening. So many
we're turned away at this service
that the cantata will be repeated
on next Sunday evening.
Mrs. c. E. Clark, Mrs. D. E. Gray
and C. E. Philips were the soloists
and Mrs. F.. p. Matthews presided at
the organ. There are so singers in
the chorus choir. Special music was
also rendered at the morning ser
vice.
The special Easter services at the
Methodist church were held in the
morning when the Sunday school
had charge of the program. A feat

ESTATE
REVIVED
BY DEATH
TWO SISTERS DIE, BROTHER IS
MISSING, SO COURT WILL BE
ASKED TO GIVE CHILD AND
MOTHER PROPERTY

1t has developed since the death
of Miss Katherine Grant, which oc-
cured here last Tuesday, that she
is a beneficiary in an estate which
has been in litigation for some
years in Nebraska. A peculiar
feature in the case was that Miss
Grant passed away just two months
after the death Of her sister, Mrs.
Margaret Whalen. which occurred
February 2 in Denver. Mrs. Whalen
formerly lived in Greeley and was
we'll known here. tuberculosis was
the cause of the death of the sis
ters.
The father of the young women
died nine years ago, leaving an es-
tate of valuable lands near St Lib
ory, Neb. He was survived by three
daughters and six sons. One son,
Edward. left home over 30 years
ago and when last heard from,
years ago, was in Little Rock, Ark.
After the death of Mr.. Grant years
We're spent advertising in different
states trying to locate the missing
son but no trace of him could be
found. Five years after the death
of the father the estate was settled
and the share of the missing
brother held by the state in trust
for him, should he appear.
Convinced that he is dead, the
remaining relatives will bring the
case in court in Nebraska within
month and attempt to have the
share of Edward Grant divided be-
tween the two sisters, who have
passed away, Mrs. Whalen's share
to be used for the education of her
12 year old son, Richard, and the
share of Miss Katherine Grant to
be given to her mother, Mrs. Anna
Grant, for the expenses and care of
the sick girl during her long illness.
| Funeral services for Miss Grant
were conducted Thursday morning
at the Catholic church. Miss Grant
was survived by her mother, Mrs.
Anna Grant, one sister. Miss Eliza
Grant, two brothers, who live here,
David and Francis c., and three
brothers who live at St. Libroy,
Neb, James, John and Richard
Grant. James and John Grant were
here from Nebraska and Edward
Whalen and son. Richard, from
Denver were here for the funeral
services.

GIRL BREAKS
ARM SKATING

Eaton. April 5.-''It don't hurt
very much to have ones arm brok-
en-" at least this is what Margery
Steele. l3 years old, told her
brother when she fell down when
roller skating yesterday and frac-
tured her right arm. .dargery was
having the best of vacation times
skating on the cement sidewalk in
front of her home yesterday with
half a dozen school mates when
somehow her feet did not go just
right and she lost her balance. In
trying to save herself she put out
her right arm and the bone frac-
tured under its sudden wrench.
Margery did not shed many tears
but brayely stood the mending of
the fracture while her brother de-
clared she was game kid" al
right Margery gives an occasional
sigh as she sees the others skating
about this morning and has to set
down on the calendar the date
when the doctor says her arm will
be as good as ever again.

may have seen the editorial and

when no champion had appeared for
Harmon, Toastmaster George Hous-

speak. A deep red silence follow
ed this invitation, so Harman did
not appear in the joyfest at all.
One minute speeches were called

got started. Two out of town visi-

HARD LUCK IN
THIS FAMILY

LaSalle. April Sire DESTROYED
the two story frame house of John
Mosher about four O'Clock Saturday
afternoon and with the help of
neighbors the Frank Worm family,
occupying the house, saved all their
furniture and clothing on the lower
floor, but the furnishings of the
upper floor including two trunkfuls
of clothing were burned.
The fire caught from defective
flue and the high wind soon famed
the flames into a big blaze. For
tunately the nre was discovered
when it first started and the alarm
given. The Worms family, Aus
trians, have had their share of i'll
fortune this winter. 1t was in this
family that the first cases of scarlet
fever broke out and the children,
five in number. have been more or
less i'll for the last three months.
Friends have taken the family until
they can secure another location.
The house was insured for $3.50
which about covers the loss.
