ably shocked on Sunday morning to
hear of the death of c.. H. Mclean,

the rooms with the solution. He was
last seen alive about nine o'clock in
the morning and his body was discov-
cred about noon when the news was
at once conveyed to relatives in Mo.

ance at the last rites. A large dele
cation of Metcalf friends were also
present to pay respect to his memory
and after short services at the house
the body was taken on a special train
to its last resting plact in the Bunk
er cemetery. Mr.. Mclean was born

with the Arizona Copper company. He

some time and at the time of his
