CHARLIE RUSSELL GENIUS OF The
OLD WEST HITS LAST LONG TRAIL
DEATH CLAIMS THE COW.
BOY AT GREAT FALLS
HOME SUNDAY NIGHT

Charles M. Russell, inimitabl
genius who picturized the spirit O
the west that used to be, has pu
down his brush. He died Sunda!
night at his home in Great Falls
following heart attack which
came suddenly. Mrs. Russell anC
physician were present when he
died.
Fame came to Charles M. Rus
sell without the affectations OF
pomp. Outstanding in his person
al life was his lasting fidelity to
his friends. His old friends con-
tinued through the years to be
his best friends. He chung to
them and they to him. The bonds
formed when he and they rode
the range were bonds unIbroken.
Although his fame spread farther
and farther, finally anchoring it,
self in the galleries of the old
world and in the metropolis of
the new, Charlie Russell chose to
remain in the realms of the days
that were. The traditions of the
west, the stirring life of the
puncher, were still his inspirations.
Art of a Genius
The art of Russell was the art
of a genius. His earlier work told
the stories which he lived. But in
later years he began to visualize
the days which came before, and
with matchless power he depicted
on the canvas the story of Lewis
and Clark, the romance of the
great wilderness the epic of the
redman on the plains of Mon
tana. His work presents a viril-
ity of color, a perception of his
toric value and graphic accuracy
of historic detail
A vagary of fate thrust upon
NJ. Russell career which
led him to high place among the
artists of the generation. When,
IN the winter of 18S6-1887, he

BIG HOOK and LADDER TRUCK IN COLLISION
WITH ELECTRIC CAR AND AUTOON Way TOFIRE
Driver Of Fire Apparatus Fore
ed to Attempt Thread Con-
gested Traffic on Water
Street-Minor Damage Re.
suits From Accident-No
Personal Injuries Suffered

by curious accident. the result of
a minor collision In which it had fig
ured on Water street, the hook and
ladder truck from the Hartford fire
station was put out of commission
at the foot of Cony Hill for a few
moments Thursday morning, when
making run to a chimney fire on
School street, and the combination
truck was sent out in response to the
call in its place. The curious COM
bination of circumstances which re-
suited in this temporary breakdown
furnished considerable excitement
Tor a few moments, although Sigh
damage was done.
The truck. called to the School
street house by still alarm, was
proceeding up Water street. when
upon nearing Oak street the path
ahead was found to be INSTRUCTED.
An electric car was stopped on the
Waterville bound track. an auto
mobile was waiting : between the
electric and the curb for the pas
sengers to alight and another ma
| chine was proceeding south on Wa
ter street. This last auto, driven by
A. e. Barbour of this city, was drawn
, in toward the curb by Mr.. Barbour
| as soon as he saw the approaching
fire truck. but this brought him
abreast of the electric car Seeing
that there was no opportunity to
pass the electric on the right hand
side, the driver Of the fire truck APP
piled the brakes. The machine be-
| ing of such weight. it did not respond
| readily to the application of the
| brakes and it was accordingly dir
ected in a course to pass the electric
on the left side. There was not suf-
| ficient clearance to allow the big
! truck to go through between the cleo
| trio car and Mr.. Barbour's machine
without touching either vehicle and
as a result the mud guard on the
right side of the fire truck was
crumpled where it, came in contact
with the eectric car and the guards
on the left side of Mr.. Barbour's car
were snia shed, where they were hit
by the mud guards on the left Of the
fire truck.
The big tire chain on the right
rear wheel of the hook and ladder
truck was apparently damaged by
/ the collision with the electric car
| as it pounded on the mud guard when
! the truck continued its journey down
| Water street and after crossing the
| Kennebec bridge, the chain slipped
off, falling down inside the wheel and
! onto the big drive chain, which is
| connected to the wheel and by which
power from the engine is transmitted
to it. This chain was immediately
broken when the tire chain crowded
between it and the cogs on the real
wheel and the truck was unable tc
! proceed.
The combination truck then made
the run to the fire and the drive
chain on the hook and ladder was
! at once repaired with the result tha'
it was again in commission wei
/ within half an hour of the time Of
the accident.

powder house three miles from Will

the same kind as those removed
from the storage house. No caps to

Appearing for the second time
within few weeks at the Green

scented mast pleasing and varied
program on Thursday night before
an audience that filled the building.
Singing superbly he reached the
heights in the group of Italian folk
lore songs new to the Augusta au-
dience, but none the less appreciated.
Before singing this group he explain
ed the story of the songs. and before
rendering the final number, Sicilian
wedding song, he had the accompan-
list play few bars of our own we'd
ding march, to show the difference
between the two.
The work of w. B. Purinton, of
this, city, who acted as accompanied
for Signor Cappelli, added much to
the pleasure of the evening. With but
slight opportunity to work with the
singer before the concert, he accom-
panied all Of the songs in a very
able manner and in the two groups,
the one by Chopin and the other by
Schubert List, which he played be-
tween the NUMBERS Dy SlSnOF Zap

clever STUNTS AT
.KIWhNIS SESSION
THURSDAY noon

Stunts by members of the group
captained by Fred owen, losers III
the recent attendance contest Win
the team headed by Levi Williams,
featured the regular luncheon ses-
sion of the Kiwanis Club, held on
Thursday noon at the Augusta Girls
Community Club, with very large
attendance.
The vanquished Kiwanians entered
the banquet hall lined up in regu-
lation prison lock step order, and
with each of the men wearing the
black mask of shame across his eyes.
Fred Owen, their spokesman, adj
mitted their disgrace and reported
his detail for their extreme punish
ment
President Frank E. Mace softened
their humiliation to a degree in a
few gracious words and informed
them that they should be restored
to full membership to enjoy the
benefits of Kiwanis on fulfilment of
the terms of the contest.
a The stunts by certain individual
members of the defeated group were
in the way of forfeits. One of the
most entertaining was the brief adj
dress of Ernest L. Mclean on the
topic, "If I Were Mayor" in the
course of which he made the decla-
ration that if he were mayor he
would have his long hair shorn. In
enumerating certain appointments
that he would make, Mayor Mclean
sent his appreciative audience into
paroXysms of mirth.
Col. Keith Ryan, another of the
losing contestants, gave clever .imi-
tation of radio reception, during
which he told of an Invitation to
listen in" on a wonderful 'Steen
tube set possessed by a friend, of his
high expectations of the program,
which was to include an aria from
an Italian opera, and of the exas-
perating interferences which brought
in a jumbled reception of Italian
opera, an address on women's suf-
frage. static, jazz, and more static.
A lecture on industry and art
with a varied collection of symbols
and a deck of cards as properties,
was the offering of Donald O. Bur-
leigh, which was very clever and
most entertaining. DR.. Warren B.
Sanborn appeared in a presentation
of old time violin jigs and break
downs, which would have made him
the envy of Names own Nellie Dun
ham of Detroit and Keith Circuit
fame and wide publicity.
Two new members were intro
duced and given the kiwanis charge
at the luncheon meeting Yesterday
noon. They We're Charles E.. Mars
ton of the E. E. Davis Company,
and Osma L. Sumner, manager of
the Kennebec Journal Print Shop.
A special guest at the meeting was
Almon B. Foster of Brookline, Mass,
district trustee of Kiwanis Clubs. Mr..
Foster was introduced to the men,
bers of the Augusta Club and made
brief remarks on the Kiwanis code
and ideals.
1t has been decided by the XII
wanians to again enter the amateur
entertainment field with the staging
