Peter r. O'Bryan Dead

Last Friday evening at 5;45
o'clock a valiant fight against
disease was lost and Peter R.
O'Bryan was numbered among
the dead. His malady, persist
emily harrassing his physical
strength for months, gathered
force and speed after the physi-
cal exhaustion of the work dur
ing the Salisbury Circuit Court
and gradually wore down stub
born resistance. Many time DUR
ing the past month it appeared
that death was at hand, but a
rally would raise hope until, re-
enforced by complications, the
disease would bear the patient
down again. When resistance
was no longer of the least avail,
could it have been maintained,
the end came as peacefully as
resignation ever bestowed on
man, the watchers by his couch
scarcely knowing that he was no
longer living.
Peter R. 0'Bryan was born in
Schuyler County Missouri July
IL, 1850, coming with his
parents to this county while yet
a boy, living on a farm near
Shannondale. In 1872 he
was united in marriage to
Mrs. Susan Vandiver. Six chill
dren we're born to them when
his wife died in 1882. In 1883
he married Mrs. Mary Eliza
Young, three children resulting
from this union, Besides his
widow, his children Mrs. Sam
Allega, Mrs. George Calvert,
Mrs. Will Moore, Mrs. Robert
Hurt and William survive him.
His step-children Mrs. Louis
Hansman and Miss Anna Young
and brothers, William of Cripple
Creek, Colo. and Jas. B. also
survive him.
Mr.. O'Bryan joined the New
Hope Baptist church years ago.
transferring his membership to
the church here when he be-
came a citizen of the city. He
was elected sheriff Novr. 1912
and had served less than half
his term.
Funeral services were held at
the Baptist church Sunday at
1890, Revs. Meyers and Stor-
mont preaching impressive SER
mons, after which interment at
Asbury cemetery. A long pro-
cession accompanied the remains
from this city and a great pa
thering awaited the cortege at
the cemetery. The floral offer
ings were unusually profuse and
beautiful.
Pete" 0'Bryan or "Uncle
Peter, as he was called was
one of the most conscientious
men In the state. His fidelity to
a friend or a trust was never
questioned. Such a character is
worthy of emulation and greater
appreciation.

In the evenings after dinner we sat in the
bare ranch dining-room, or out under the
trees in the hot darkness, and talked of
many things; natural history with the nat

with them and with our Brazilian friends
Colonel Rondon is not simply can officer
and gentleman" in the sense that is honor
ably true of the best army officers in every
good military service. He is also pecu-
liarly hardy and competent explorer good
field naturalist and scientific man, student
and philosopher. With him the conversa-
ton ranged from jaguar hunting and the
perils of exploration in the "matto Crosse,
the great wilderness, to Indian anthropol-
ogy, to the dangers of purely materalistlc
industrial civilization, and to Positivist NOR
atty. The colonels Positivism was in very
fact to him religion of humanity, creed
which bade him be just and kindly and use
full to his fellow men, to live his life bravely,
and no less bravely to face death without
reference to what he believed, or did not be-
ieve, or to what the unknown hereafter
might hold for him.
The native hunters who accompanied us
were swarthy men of mixed blood. They
were barefooted and scantly clad, and each
carried long, clumsy spear and keen
machete in the use of which he was an ex-
pert Now and then, in thick jungle. we
had to cut out path, and it was interesting
to see one of them, although numbered by
his unwieldy spear, handling his half-broken
little horse with complete ease while he
hacked at limbs and branches. OF the two

doubtful looking ford or piece OF Doggy
ground the elder man always sent the
younger man on and sat on the bank until
he saw what befel the experimental.
In that rather preposterous book of our

shot one because the naturalsts eagerly
wished for a second specimen; afterward we
were relieved of all necessity to modest the
strange out-of-date creatures. 1t was sur
prise to us to find them habitually frequent
ing the open marsh. They were always on
muddy ground, and in the papyrus swamp
we found them in several inches OF water.
The stomach is thick-walled, like gizzard;
the stomachs Of those we shot contained
adult and larval ants, chiefly termtes to-
gether with plenty Of black mould and trag-
ments of leaves, both green and dry. Doubt
less the earth and the vegetable matter had
merely been taken incidentally, adhering to
the viscid tongue when it was thrust into
the ant masses.
Out in the open marsh the tamandua
could neither avoid observation nor fight
effectively, nor make good its escape by
flight. 1t was curious to see one, numbering
off at a rocking canter, the big burly tail
held aloft One while fighting the dogs,
suddenly threw itself on its back, evidently
hoping to grasp dog with its paws; and it
now and then reared, in order to strike at
its assailants. In one patch of thick jungle
we saw a black bowler monkey sitting mo-
tionless in a tree-top. We also saw the
swamp deer, about the size of Our blacktail.
1t is real swamp animal, for we found it
often in the papyrus swamps, and out in the
open marsh, knee-deep in the waters,
among the aquatic plants.
The tough little horses bore us we'll
through the marsh Often in crossing
bayous and ponds the water rose almost to
their backs; but they splashed and waded
and if necessary swan through
The dogs were Withholding set. Some
were OF distinctly wofish appearance.
These, we were assured, were descended in
part from the big red wolf Of the neighbour
hood, tall, lank animal, with much smaller
teeth than big northern wolf. The do
mestic dog is undoubtedly descended from
at least dozen different species of wild
dogs, wolves, and ackals, some Of them
probably belonging to different genera.
The degree of fecundity or lack of fecundity
between different species varies in extraor-
binary and inexplicable fashion in different
families of mammals. In the horse family,
for instance, the species are not fertile inter
Sc; whereas among the oxen, species seem
ingly at least as widely separated as the
horse, ass and zebra-species such as the
domestic OK, bison, yak, and gaur-breed
freely together and their offspring are fer
tile; the lion and tiger also breed together,
and produce offspring which will breed with
either parent stock; and tame dogs in diff
ferent quarters of the world, although all OF
them fertile inter Sc, are in many cases OBJ
viously blood kin to the neighboring wild
wolf-like of jackal-like creatures which are
specifically, and possibly even generically
distinct from one another. The big red
wolf of the South American plains is not
closely related to the northern wolves; and
