WARREN D, HARRIS
DIES IN M|SS0ULA

Word was received in Roman
yesterday of the death in a hos
pital at Missoula, of Warren D.
Harris, who was we'll known on
the Big Flat south of Roman.
His death was the result of a
complication Of diseases, supple
mented by tuberculosis.
Warren D. Harris came to the
Flathead reservation from St.
Louis. Mo-, in the summer of
1910, and made homestead entry
on a tract of land in 1920, and
built for himself and family a
fine residence and became one of
the substantial men of this Sec
tion. He was for years a pros
porous lawyer of st. Louis and
came west primarily on account
of his health.
During the late fall his health
again grew bad and refused to
respond to the treatment, and
was taken to Missoula where he
could receive the benefit of hos
pital nursing, but it seems the
Grim Reaper had him chosen for
the harvest.
He leaves wife and two chill
dren to mourn his DEATH. No
particulars as to the interment
are at hand.
