FRANK ROSE KILLED AT
HOME IN CALIFORNIA.

eidental Death While Working
With Team on His Farm.

The Modesto, Calf, Herald reports
the death near that place one day last
week of ]. F. Rose, n former we'll

follows:
James F. Rose. farmer neal Ceres,
was killed last evening when he was
toppled from n farm wagon on the
road n quarter of Il mile south and
west of that town. No one saw the
accident, but circumstances lead the
coroner to believe that Rose was
struck by the wooden standards on the
wagon bed, which overturned onto the
ground.
Rose had completed his days work
shortly after 5 o'clock and had loaded
his harrow onto the f~lat-bedded wagon.
Whether the horses became frightened
and overturned the wagon bed or
whether it struck a post and overturned
is not known.
"Thomas Mccarthy heard the crash
of the accident and hurried to Roses
assistance. DIR. F. X. Lord was sum
moned, but the injuries were so seri-
Gus that Rose passed away within ff-
teen minutes after the doctors ar
rival.
1.-The deceased was a native of Mis-
souri, and aged so years. He is sur
vived by a widow, Lottie B. Rose, of
Modesto, and IA son, Charles +. Rose of
Los Angeles. He was the brother of
Charles f. Rose of Las Cruces, n. NJ,
ID. NJ. Rose and Mrs. Mary Mosley of
Kansas City. Mr.. Rose came to Ceres
to reside nine years ago"

Army Filters For Forests.

A Great Falls, Mont, newspaper re-

made by the war department that the
First commandment group of the air
service and the 147th squadron of the
First pursuit group at Kelly Field,
Texas, have been detailed to patrol ma
tional forests in the Northwest during

Missoula will be the base for all of

Recently the plan of using airplanes
for patroling the forests looked as

Farmers Lost State Highway
In Asking Pay for Right-Of-W Way.

Northern Wyoming (Cody) Herald ::
Differences encountered in securing Il
r~ight-of-way on the Sheridan-CaSper
road in johnson county, between Buff
falo and Kaycee, has resulted in a re-
routing of his highway over an al
ternate route. The attitude of the
State Highway Department has been
that it would spend no money for
rights-of-way, believing that the bond
money should be spent in construction
and that the highway through a set
Element increased land values to such
an extent that the small amount asked
from each abutting property-owner is
negligible.
A movement has already been start
ed in Cody to route the proposed Pear
son Lane to Cody road directly east
from Sheridan avenue to the Pearson
ranch and then south, as it appears
the property owners are unable to
agree upon giving the r~ights-of-way.
