J.W. Murphy, Pioneer
Settler , Died Yesterday
Old Soldier and Frontisrsunan Passsd
Away At his Reservation Home
Near Shields Ysstsrday

]. w. Murphy, one Of the pio.
neers Of the reservation country,
died veserday morning at his home
southwest,o of Shields, aged II years.
He had been in poor health for the
past three years, and had failed
rapidly recently. The first of the
week it was apparent that the end
was near and news Of his death
while the source Of sorrow caused
no surprise.
Mr.. Murphy had lived long and
adventuresome life. The son Of an
Ohio clergyman, he left home at an
early age and at the outbreak Of the
Civil war enlisted in the. Union
army, with which he served until
1865 when he was sent to Omaha,
then q frontier town on Missouri
river. From Omaha he was sent
with a asdetachmen. of soldiers BY
boat up the Missouri river to Fort
Rice, then an important military
post.
When his term Of enlistment
expired he secured the contract for
carrying mail from FORT Rice to
Fort Sully, a distance of over 100
miles through hostile Indian count
~. Later he married and lived
for a.time in Campbell county, South
Dakota, where he ranched. From
Campbell county he, moved to the
west side Of the Cannonball river.
and for time lived near where
Wade postoffice is now located
Later he moved further up theriver
and took a homestead where the
7townsof Shields now stands Bn-
til the building of the town in 1910
he conducted q store on the west.
side Of the Cannonball river, op-
posite Porcupine station. Later he
engaged in business in Shields
again, and made his home there
until about three years ago when
failing health forced him to retire,
and he moved over on the Sioux
county side.
Mr.. Murphy was a man Of kindly
disposition and unquestioned hon
esty. He was the friend Of the
Indians, with whom he lived in
close association for over 40 years,
and he enjoyed their confidence and
respect. When the white settlers
came to the country with the ad-
vent Of railroads he was also ever
ready to extend to these newcomers
9 helping hand, and many Of them
would have been in bad shape
through the hard times that follow
ed but for the help and credit he
extended them. :.
Mr.. Murphy leaves a wife and
large family of children. One>of
his sons, James, is with the Amer.
lean army in France. Among the
other children are Joseph and Rob.
ert, Mrs. Thos Skye and Mrs.
Schoenhutt.
Funeral sevices will be held this
afternoon, and interment will be
made in the Porcupine Catholic
cemetery.

Race for Treasurer Is Close,

Opponent in the Survey
Ors' Fight.

With the official returns from
more than half The county tahulated
and with unofficial reports from ap-
proximately two-thirds of the pro-
cincis, Imperial county voters at a
late hour this afternoon had appar-
emily picked the following men for
public office:

George Wade .................l .l146

With his majority growing with
each incoming report, the election OF
Noel was conceded at noon today, the
question simply resolving itself in'o
the matter of the size of the majority.

count of the final ballot will see Noel
a victor by 700 to 1000 majority.
Continuing their close poll combat
from the primaries, Candidates Bar
ton and Hamilton again staged an
other pretty fight. Up until about
noontime the latter led by small
vote, but the last available figures of
the afternoon caused Barton 10 nose
