FORMER YALE RESIDENT
MET SHOCKING DEATF

Mrs. Ike Mcintyre received the
sad news this week that her
brother, Len Welch, former and
well-known resident of Yale. had
met a sudden and untimely death
in Texas.
Mr.. Welch's l4-vear-old daugh-
ter, now left an orphan, her moth
er having died year or two ago,
writes her aunt some of the par
ticulars.
1t seems that she and her father
with some friends were motoring
from FL Paso to the Oil fields.
Soon after leaving Amarillo some
men behind them in car called
upon them to halt, and as thev in
creased their speed instead of
hating, these men fired several
shots, one of them striking her
father in the shoulder, going
through the right lung lodging in
the spine, causing paralysis. With
this serious condition Of things
the bandits continued their dep
! relations and robbed the party of
their money and valuables before
letting them go on their way.
The injured man was taken to
hospital where he died the next
day. He was buried in Clarendon
The daughter states that the mur-
derers were caught and she iden-
tilted them. The trial will be
held some time next August.

Vet Sees Sun. Moon and
Stars at High Noon

Fifty-seven years ago Malcolm
Mac cAuley, of 45 Sixteenth street
Port Huron, was standing guard
near Nashville, Tenn. He was a
member of Company * 30th
Kansas Volunteers.
The Civil War Veteran is now
81 years of age. And the vet
claims that he is one of but few
persons living who sometime in
May of 1864. saw one of the
strangest phenomenons that has
ever been witnessed by human
eye.
While walking his post on the
outskirts of the Union camp near
Nashville at high noon MaeAu-
lays attention was attracted to
the sky, where plainly visible to
the naked eye could be seen the
sun, the moon and one star, al
at the same time.
The spectacle, so the veteran
says, was witnessed by a large
number of Union soldiers. Astro
nomers since have been unable tC
explain the strange freak Of tn,
heavens, according to Mr.. Mac
Aulay.

Newsy Notes From Our
NeighbOring Cities and Towns
STRANGE ACCIDENT
CAUSES DEATH

Algonac, Apr. 28-Geo. Mitch
chell, % years old, was killed in
stantly shortly after nine o'clock
Wednesday night three miles west
of here when the thill of buggy,
driven with great force by the
rearing and plunging of fright
ened horse pierced his heart.
Mitchell, eldest son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Richard Mitchell of Algonac,
together with his brother was re-
turning home from a visit with
their grandmother. Both were rid
ing bicycles.
A horse and buggy came toward
them while they were pedalling
along on a narrow stretch of road
When the horse drawn vehicle,
owned by Percy Worden, was
nearly abreast, an automobile
came from behind it and attempt
ed to pass.
The roar of the machine fright
ened the horse and for a bare sec
ond it became unmanageable. The
animal leaped forward and to one
side before either Of the Mitchell
boys knew anything was wrong.
The cyclists were at the extreme
edge of the road when the fear
maddened horse sprang directly at
them. The Younger brother es-
capped by rolling with his bicycle
down the embankment into the
ditch. George Mitchell was direct
ly in the path of the animal. Be-
fore he could check his own speed
or get from the road, the horse
bore down upon him. The thill,
driven with the full force of the
animals mad leap, pierced his
breast, going through his heart.
Mitchell was picked up and car
ried to the home Of John Hoover,
an uncle who lived nearby, where
medical aid was summoned at
once, but death, the physician de-
clared, had been instantaneous.

PROPOSED COUNTY

Within a few days a bill will prob

state legislature for the creation of
. new county, to be composed of por-
ttons. OF Rosebud, Big Horn and
Powder River counties. Originally
the proposed county was to be known
a. Joe Brown county, but now it is
unknown whether the new county
proponents still adhere to this name.
In all likelihood Ashland will be des-
ignated as the temporary county
seat.
On September II, last year, the

adopted resolutions as unopposed to
this county's severing a portion of
territory in the west to be included
in the proposed county as requested
in the amended petition presented to
the board Of commissioners of Rose

the taxpayers Of both the old and new
counties many thousands of dollars
