Charles II. Reed passed away in u
homestead cabin near the Fahnholz
ranch home southeast of town on
last Sunday, Dec. Z, sometime be-
tween the hours of I II. m. and 2p. IN.
The deceased had been confined OH
the premises for some time with
severe case of small pox, but had
practically recovered, and would have
been released from quarantine within
few days. Before coming here he
had been sickly ut times and the pre-
sumption is that the severe attack Of
small pox left his heart in u weaken
ed condition., which brought OH heart
failure.
The decedent and his wife arrived
here about two months ago from Edi-
son. Neb., and have been stopping ut
the home Of their daughter, Mrs. Al
bert Fahnholz. Mr.. Reed was u car
penter by trade and worked in town
considerably. He was forty-three
years Of age and was born in Trenton,
Illinois.

nifty goes out to the family i'll this
time Of their bereavement and trou-
bic. Mrs. FahnhOltZ and her two

they have it very light owing to the

II. Irony sf Fate.

On account Of the number of cases
Of small pox occurring in Great Fails,
the state board Of health recently is
sued MI order that all children atten-
ding the public schools in Great Falls
be required to present certificates of
successful vaccination.
This order had the effect Of stirring
up the anti-vacclnationist in that
city and they carried on an active
campaign against vaccination until
one of their leaders contracted small
pOx. We wish to state to the credit
of this person that when she found
she had the disease, she sacrificed her
characterization principles and had
her children vaccinated. Bulletin Of
