Word was received in Bridger the

Bridger turned out en- masse to
greet the Burlington train carrying
the presidential party through East
Bridger Saturday afternoon. A
glimpse of the First Lady of the Land
was their reward as the train shot
through at So miles an hour. How
ever, Mrs. Coolidge waved to the as

car which was reward enough for the
gathering.
Preparations are being made in
Bridger to send a big turnout to the

to America at the age of IS years, &C
companied by his widowed mother,
two brothers and two sisters. He
was married to Miss Lola Steele at
Helena, Montana in 1902, and to this
union six children were born, two
boys, John and Herman, and four
girls; being Mrs. Roy E. Hooker, Mrs.
Robert T. Smith and Marie and
Legetta. He is also survived by his
widow; two brothers, Ebert and John
Kujah; and two sisters, Mrs. Bertha
Holmes and Mrs. William Krenty of
Waseau, Minnesota. The family es-
tablished their residence here in
1896, which has been their home ever
since. Funeral services were held in
the M. E. church in Bridger, Satur-
day afternoon at 200 p. M, conduct
ed by Rev. G. E. Fenton, assisted by
the Methodist choir after which the
