A PIONEER DRowNs

Under the above heading last
weeks Craig Empire tells of the
death of Captain Shaw, father Of our
townsmAn, d. Kirk Shaw.
"Wilbur A. Shaw, known to all
older citizens Of this community as
Cap drowned In . swimming pool
ON his ranch near Juniper some time
Saturday. The body was discovered
Sunday noon and the county coroner
notified.
"rhis pioneer citizen lived alone on
his ranch, which boasted its swim
ming pool and natural hot water like
Juniper Springs, a short distance
away. The swimming pool was his
delight and during warmer weather
he seldom missed a day without the
regulation swim. There were no eye
witnesses, but 1t appears that he lad
taken his usual bath Saturday after
noon and after finishing, started to
wash some clothing. It is probable
that he was overcome by the intense
heat Of the day and fell into the pool.
Death doubtless resulted quickly.
"'Cap' Shaw was one OF Craig's
earliest business men. He came hero
from Michigan in 1893 and erected q
building on the site now occupied by
the Craig bakery. In this building he
conducted meat market for . couple
OF years before filing on homestead
near Juniper. This building was for
several years the home Of the Mutual
Telephone company and was moved
to the outskirts OF town to make room
for the Craig Bakery building.
"Mr. Shaw preferred to live alone,
although he was man Of strong
friendships and was ever loyal to his
friends. He was q native Of Michigan
aud celebrated his 10th birthday an
niversary on July 4 Of this year. His
business affairs were In splendid
shape. aud Of late years he has taken
great interest In the development cf
the hot springs on his place, which is
being done by DR.. James q. Clayton.
During the % years he had been on
the place his dream had been to util-
ize the medicinal water, and he ex-
pected to see the place q noted health
resort.
"Mr. Shaw had but one living rela-
tive for Sc versl years-a son, d. Kirk,
for many years Craig man but now
a civil engineer In Meeker. He WAS
once member Of the local Masonic
lodge and many of the members At
tended the funeral yesterday forenoon
when Rev. Carl Wild conducted an
impressive but brief service. The pail
bearers were Charles A. VanDorn, p.
II. Howard, Thomas H. Hamilton, r.
II. Green, Thomas A. FOrkner, and
John s. Ledford. Interment was in
Craig cemetery"

II you ask young woman to have
luncheon with you. always defer to her
in the mater of choosing the place. II
YOU know of some interesting place
you may make the invitation to go to
that place. If 1t is not mentioned IN
the invitation, then the young man
should always ask the woman whether
there is some place that she would pre-
fer. If she mentions none and has no
preferences, then he might suggest a
couple of places where he knows the
cooking is good. The gracious young
woman will always decide on one OF
these unless she has some reasonable
objection to them. If no suggestion Is
made, then she should not suggest the
most expensive hotel in town.
When a young man has taken q
young woman to luncheon with him ne
should always remember that it Is up
to him to thank her for having given
