Kirby Resident
Takes Life

Old-timers of the Forsyth, Rose
bud and Kirby country were
shocked to learn of the suicide Of
U. M. Holmes which occurred in
Sheridan, Sunday afternoon at
about mt thirty. Death was
caused by a self-inflicted bullet,
fired from a 45-calibre revolver.
Afflicted with paralysis of the
right side, Mr.. Holmes had been
making his home with a nephew
and wife, Mr.. and Mrs. Raymond
L. Holmes, in Sheridan, Wyo. Re-
Gently the paralytic condition be-
came aggravated and it is thought
that worry caused by this cond!-
ton inspired the rash act.
U. M. Holmes will be remember
ed by many Rosebud and Forsyth
people through the fact that he
was at one time mail carrier from
Rosebud to Lame Deer, carrying
the mail in the late COS along
about 1896 and 81. He was at the
time Of his death SO years of age.
After severing his connection
with the post office department,
Mr.. Holmes removed to the Kirby
country, where he engaged in the
cattle business on what is called
Dry creek, about eight miles north
east Of Kirby. He soon became
one of the largest individual OWL
ers of real estate in the Kirby
section and had large holdings in
live -stock.
A few years ago he became af-
flicted with paralysis and steadily
growing worse his nephew, Ray
mond and wife were called from
Oakland, Calf. where they lived.
Mr.. Holmes the younger, realizing
the gravity Of his uncle's condi-
ton, removed him to Sheridan,
Wyo., purchased a house and Mrs.
Holmes remained with the elder
Holmes who, with his wife, who
was also a p~aralytic and who died
a few years ago, spent the re-
naming years in comfort.
Funeral services were held We'd
nesday at 10 a. M, from the
G m pion funeral parlors in
Sheridan, Wyo.

EARLY USE OF WATER URGED
BY TWO LEGGINS OFFICERS

The water was turned into the
Two Leggins canal Thursday morn
ing and should reach the lower
end of the ditch within a couple
of days. The officers of the
company are urging everyone to
prepare to use water as soon as
possible in order to get the al
falfa lands we'll soaked up be-
fore the water is needed in large
quantities for beet and grain
fields. Should the summer months
prove to be as dry as the past
few seasons have been, it is an
ticipated that there will be a.
shortage of water in the Big Horn
river before the irrigation season
is over and it is urged that ev-
eryone use as much water as
practicable early in the season.

Charles M. Kearney, president

ceived recently: considerable
stress already laid on importance
