GIVE NEIGHBORs A FAREWELL

Last Sunday about 80 CT the neigh
bors and friends of Mr. and Mrs. Art
Cameron met at their home nine
miles east of town to give farewell
as they are soon to move to their
new home near North Branch, in
Guthrie county. The affair was
complete surprise to Mr.. Cameron
and his family, but the intruders had
brought with them generous supply
of food to make merry at the dinner
hour, Which relieved Mrs. Cameron
from a most arduous duty. The party
was soon seated at the dining table
talking over past events and
expressing they regret at Mr..
and Mrs Cameron leaving the
neighborhood, but all express
sed the wish that they would feel as
comfortable and at home in their
new location as they were in their
present home.
The neighbors gave them very
substantial present as a remembrance
of old friendship, and this no doubt
will cause them to think of their old
home and old friends for many years
to come.

U. s. ARMY COMMANDER
DIES AT HIS HOTEL

Gen. Frederick Funston, command
er of the Southern department, died
at San Antonio, Texas Monday night
a few minutes after he collapsed
while in hotel, where he had gone
with party of friends.
Attending physicians say the cause
of death was acute indigestion.
General Funston had just finished
dinner and was playing with child
when he fell unconscious.
Not until 1896, when the Cuban
insurrection was at it's height, did
Frederick Funston become known
throughout the United States as a
first class fighting man, but his
friends in Kansas-where he spent
his early manhood-long had so
classified him.
AS a student at the University of
Kansas, when he weighed less than
100 pounds, he conquered 200
pound bad man" who threatened
him with a razor. Tot add to the
giants humiliation, Funston marched
him through the streets of Lawrence.
Kan, at the point of revolver, to
police station.
A few years later, while city ed
itOr OF paper in Fort Smith, Ark,
young Funston stirred up intense
feeling by attacking editorially the
publications own political party
leaders during the absence of his
editor-in-chief. Many threats are
said to have been made against Fun
ston and the newspaper property, but
he remained on guard until his su-
perior returned and then turned over
the plant unframed. Incidentally
Funston also resigned.
1t was while he was in command
of the troops at Vera Cruz in 1914
that he was raised to the rank of
major general. He then was 40
years old.
The ambition of Funstons youth
was to 60 to West Point, but he fail
ed in an entrance examination. In
