dow and two children, one of them by
a former marriage, his mother and
father and a sister, Mrs. Nicholas
Blocker of Minneapolis.
''The parents, who reside at Sank
Centre, Mimi, only a few weeks ago
returned to their home after an ex-
tended sojourn with the family Of
their son in this city. !.
"Thes deceased was member of
the American Institute of Mining and
Metallurgical Engineers and the
University Club at Salt Lake.
"The death Of Paul Hilsdale re-
moves one of the brightest mining
men of the west. He was a man of
generous impulses, genial and pleas
ing at all times; with wonderful
sense of humor and many endearing
qualities which made him a general
favorite with his associates and the
men working under his direction.
yesterday was Flag Day in Eureka,
and the flags that were hoisted in
memory of the occasion hung Imply
against their poles as if they, too,
were mourning with the bereaved
families who had been called upon to
make the supreme sacrifice. All peo-
pie in Tintic are in mourning this
week, for in a short space of forty
eight hours three lives were snufred
out in the same manner.
''The fatalities of this week prob
ably exceed any which have happen
ed in the mines of this district since
the bulkhead gave way in the Okle-
homa stope of the Centennial Eur
eka mine and snuffed out the lives of
many loved ones. ...-....
Son Thursday the morning train on
the D.. & R. G. took with it the re-
mains of James M. Wood, a mere boy,
to his last resting place; the incom-
ing train on the Salt Lake Route car
.ried the body of James Hanley, a
citizen of the highest rank, bringing
him home to bury him where he had
lived his life; an hour or so later a
fur eral slowly wendell it's way down
Main street it's destination being a
plot of ground where the last earthly
remains of Paul Hilsdale, a man loved
=. all who knew him, was laid to
rest.
"Such is the hand of Fate. We all
bow our. heads in mourning. May
their rest be sweet and peaceful.
"Jack Mays and Leonard Wilson
came out from Salt Lake on Tuesday
afternoon, fastening to Eureka on
learning of the accident at the Go n
mi mine and the death of Paul His
dale. Mr.. Mays and Mr.. Hilsdale
have been intimate friends from boy
hood and classmates together in the
Colorado school of mines

MINNESOTA NEAR EAST RELIEF

.
Final reports of Near East Relief
clothing drives in 81 counties in Min
nesota show that the state clothing
contribution, exclusive of what was
collected in Minneapolis, st. Paul and
Duluth, totals 56,424 pounds, &C
.cording to a report by Mrs. w. T.
Coe, of Minneapolis, state clothing
chairman for the Near East Relief.
In the aggregate, the contribution
from the counties is equivalent to two
carloads, Mrs. Coe said.
Fity-six towns participated in the
clothing drive. In addition the Twin
Cities collected an amount aproxi-
mately equal to that contributed by
the rest of the state.
"The splendid success of the coun-
ty drives establishes new high re-
cord for philanthropic clothing drives
in Minnesota" said Mrs. Coe. "To
the county chairmen, and their de-
vo'etd effort, must be attributed a
large share of the credit"
Mrs. Goes report shows the num-
Der of pounds contributed by each
town, together with the name of the
chairman who handled the drive.
The 5. R. Palmer Post of the Wo-
mems Relief Corps sponsored the
drive in Sank Centre, Mrs. J. A. Nor
ris, being in direct charge. 600
pounds of clothing were collected in
this city and sent in to headquarters,
which is considered very good show
ing for city of this size.

Returns After Forty Years
to Locate Wife and Son
Following Martial Difficulties w. w.
Beckstd Goes West-Difficult to
Pick Up Threads

Last week man by the name of
w. w. Becksted dropped into Sank
Centre and made inquiries regarding
the decendents of Orange Madison,
who was one of the old timers that
located north of Willard and later
moved to Sank Centre where for
years he ran the Eastern House
which was situated on the corner OF
9TH and Pine streets in. approximately
the same location as later occupied
by the Lamb Hospital, now the home
of T. w. Peart.
Mr.. Beckstd married daughter of
Orange Mattison at the time the
family were living out near Willard,
Beckstd owning an adjacent ranch.
After their marriage the couple lived
near Willard for about four years,
later going to Mortified, and then
returning to Sank Centre.
A number of children were born
to them. Later on there were some
matrimonial difficulties and the
Beckstd's parted, Mr.. Beckstd leav-
ing here some forty years ago at
which time he went to South st. Paul
where he engaged in the cattle bust
ness, and later on moved to Salt
Lake City where he married again.
Last November his second wife died
End after getting his affairs in shape
he set out to look up the Mattisons
and to locate his FIRST wife, fand one
son whom he believed were still alive.
This son he stated must be about 81
years of age.
After making some inquiries
among the older settlers of the COM
munity he drove over to Willard to
look at his old homestead. While
living on this place he dug a well
about As years ago which proved to
be flowing we'll, and he found the
water still flowing on his return last
week. He came backq to this city
and then went to Long Prairie where
he located a brother-in-law and
learned from him that the son was
living in Wadena. 1t is presumed
that with the aid of his son. he was
able to find the whereabout of his
first wife.
Only the old timers will remember
Mr. Beckstd but there are undoubted-
ly a good many people in this COM
muinty who knew him years ago.
