CARL SCHMIDT DIES ON WAY
TO HOSPITAL ON MONDAY

Funeral services for the late
Carl John Schmidt, 43, who died
suddenly Monday afternoon at
Sis, were held at the Little Flow
er church Thursday morning,
with Rev. FIR. A. M. D. Gillen in
charge of the services.
Schmidt was being taken to the
Memorial hospital in Qua Bank,
after suffering a severe heeart at
tack, and expired on the way.
The deceased had suffered a
heart condition for the past two
years. Taken suddenly ill sew
eral hours before his death, he
was to be taken to the hospital in
Cut Bank by Gus Hunsberger. At
a point on the highway between
Blackfoot and Cut Bank, he suf-
fered a heart attack and died be-
fore he could be gotten to the
hospital. In the car, besides the
driver and stricken man, were
the deceased's sister, Miss Flor
ence Schmidt, and aunt, Mrs.
Elizabeth WetZel.
Apparently the decease d S
death occurred almost instantly.
Hopeful that resuscitation at the
hospital would reveal otherwise
the group continued to Cut Bank
to be appraised of the tragic end.
Deceased was born and raised
in Browning, and had spent his
entire life here with the excep-
ton of the time he was employed
at Boeing Air Craft Company
plant in Seattle during World
War II
Survivors include his mother,
Mrs. Clara Schmidt; three sisters,
Miss Florence Schmidt and Mrs.
Gladys Paisley, of Browning, and
Mrs. Violet Hollis, of Great Falls,
and one brother, George, of Port
land, and other relatives.

LOCAL BOY MEETS BROTHER
AT FRONT LINES IN KOREA

Harvey Mailman, who is a
grandson and raised by Mrs.
Josephine Whitegrass, of the
Starr school community, had the
unusual pleasure of meeting his
older brother at camp near the
front lines in Korea shortly be-
fore the fighting stopped, it was
revealed in letter received by
his grandmother recently.
He wrote that his older brother
Robert, who is serving in the
navy, was working in a Prisoner
of War camp as a guard, and I'M
expectedly hearing of his brother
Harvey being located in a camp
near by, made a surprise visit to
him. That the boys had a won
derful visit and enjoyed the I'M
expected visit to the limit, was
emphasized by Harvey in his let
ter home.
Both boys have been in the SER
vice for some time, and were nat
urally happy that fighting at the
front had come to stop. They
are both looking forward to get
ing home, at least for visit, be-
fore too long. The Mailman boys
both entered the service from
Browning.

SHELBY STOCK SALE AND
SHOW WAS BIG SUCCESS

The regular sale Saturday at
the Shelby Stockyards was we'll
attended by buyers, sellers, and
interested onlookers. The sell
ing and buying was brisk and the
market jumped ahead of last
week by a very nice margin.
Good steers led the list with the
top going for $500 and the aver
age running a bit over $1,000. 1t
is the first week there has been
enough calves to establish a mar.
ket which topped $13.75 and aver.
aged about $3.50. Cows were
more or less steady with the top
hitting $3.50 and the average
around S1120 Heifers went for
S14.50 and averaged over $13.0c.
Bulls were about the same as
last week with the top going for
$11.70 and the average about
$11.50. Gamers and cutters
brought little over $3.50. Both
the number and quality of cattle
offered this week were up. This
was reflected very much in the
prices. There is still a good de.
mand for good cattle. There were
some nice horned cattle in the
ring this week but as always they
