Cost of Dying Goes Up

The Ward county commissioners
are threshing out the matter of the
cost of burying the county's dead
with the local undertakers. The COM
missioners formerly allowed $25 for
the burial of county charges, but
have agreed to pay $4,000 as the cost
of dying has gone up. Two of the
undertakers are of the opinion that
they ought to be allowed 500 for each
county case but one thinks the work
could be performed for little less.
The commissioners have taken the
matter up with Attorney General
LANCER, asking for an opinion.

Funeral of ID. F. Humphreys.

The funeral of ID. f.. Humphreys
father of Guy F. Humphreys Of this
city, who died at Brocket Dec. 4, was
held in Brocket Friday of last week.
Every business place in the village was
closed and nearly every resident Of
the town and many from the country
side paid their last respects to the
departed, who had lived among them
ever since the town was first started.
The floral tributes were splendid and
were sent to Brocket from hundreds
of miles in almost every direction. On

the remains were inferred at Brocket

Park River, where Mr.. Humphreys
made his home when he first moved to
