John Hensen, IA, son Of, Mr.. and
Mrs. Dennis Hensen, who lives in
the Horse Heaven hills south of

eyes with small rifle last Friday
evening, because, it is said, his
parents refused to allow him to

John had asked to go to. party
at the oil wells that evening and
intended to take several friends.
The roads to the wells are terribly
rough and the boy asked to use
the bigger car for the trip. He had
been driving to school in light
coupe. Upon being refused the use
Of the big car, the boy left the
room without d word, picked up a
rifle, went out into the yard and
shot himself.
His mother found his body q
short time later. He left no suicide
note and had been in good spirits
lately. He had shown no signs Of
girl trouble" and had been doing
well in his studies.
Johns parents were only few
feet from him, inside the house,
according to reports, when he shot
himself. The radio was turned on
and the faint report Of the %
rifle could not be heard.
It was only when his mother
wondered where he had gone that
she left the house and after q
brief search found his body in the
shrubbery. Funeral services were
held at the Benton City church
Sunday afternoon. The Henson
family is well known in both ends
Of the county and the sympathy
of host of friends goes out to
the bereayed folk.

marked very quietly that she would
get that honey if the men would hand
up the buckets and receive them
again.
Barring her arms to the shoulders,
having bathed them in strongly
sweetened water, she went calmly up
the narrow attic stairs. Bucket after
bucket was filled with the powerful
sweet and handed down to the brave
(?) men below, until, tired but I'M
harmed she could work no longer. At
forwards in recounting it she told
how the bees had crawled softly up
and down her arms, keeping up all
the while little low grooming sound,
not unpleasant.
No Movie Needed
One more remembrance-this time
of a 25-below-zero moonlight night.
My uncle, boy Of 20, drove over to
town to see the doctor, fastened his
horses, covered them warmly with
two fine buffalo robes and made rath-
err a prolonged stay. Emerging, he
found the horses there, shivering in
the biting cold, but no robes. 1t was
a time for quick action. My uncle
like Desdemona, "was fertile in in
vention." He argued that the thieves
must have hidden those robes some
where near as they could not have
carried them far in that bright moon
light. Searching, he found them roll
ed up in clump Of shrubbery, party
covered by snow.
JOY! Here was an adventure. To
roll himself up in those warm blan-
kets and wait for the moon to go
down and the thieves to arrive was a
real pleasure. About o'clock in the
morning footsteps were heard, crun-
ching over the frozen snow, and two
young buffalo thieves were confronted
with pair of Colt revolvers thrust
in their faces. They decided, ala
Mark Twain, that absence of body
was better than presence of mind.
There were no movies in those
days, they were not necessary.
