Charity" Dillon
By EVAN E. KIMPTON

THIS is THE STORY of woman
who came to the mining camp of Ra-
dersburg in the early days. The story
has been told again and again by early
settlers. The woman's grave is in the
Limestone Hills near lonely road be-
tween Radersburg and Townsend.
which was once the main road trav-
eled by stage coaches.
The following account was read on
July IL, 1916, when permanent mark
er was placed on her grave:
Friends and Neighbors:
''We are gathered here this evening
to pay homage and respect to a young
woman by the name of Charity Dill
lon. This is indeed an unusual gather
ing, as few of us present are likely to
be so honored IA years after our deaths.
The one whom we are llonoring to-
night was woman without selfishnesS
or ambition for riches or fame and who
devoted the last years of her life to
the service of mankind. She lived in a
lonely cabin just short distance from
here and the doors were always open to
travellers and bullwhackers who passed
this way.
She had developed a pond of water
fed by nearby spring to quench the
thirst of man and beast. That was the
way she received the name Charity
Dillon.
The known story of her life is
meager, but as far as we know she
was born in Missouri In 1s47. While
still in grade school she fell deeply in
love with boy who later Tilted her.
The story goes that in those days a
sarm boy in Missouri received $40 a
month eight months of the year, so
rearing of big wages being paid in Mon
ana, the boy left for the West with a
wagon train. Before leaving he prom
sed faithfully either to come for her
II send for her, but he did neither.
sAfter several years of waiting, she
ecided one day to start for the West,
travelling with saddle horse and pack
0rse. She found her young man not
0 very far from here, apparently hap
lily married and the father of two chill
rem. In her grief she passed on with
1T letting anyone know of her identity.
years later her intended became
prosperous cattIeman. He had friends
Radersburg but they never gave
way the secret.

Cites ISraePs Peril
''It is, therefore, bitter paradox
to find that state which was des-
tined to be a shelter for a mar
tyred people is itself threatened by
grave dangers to it's own security.
The universal conscience cannot be
indifferent to such a peril. One of
the important moral achievements
to emerge from the Second World
War should be preserved from
this unnatural danger.
1.-The pressure of Arab hostility
and the counter-pressure of ISrael's
defence have created a constant
tension. It is anomalous that world
opinion should not actively seek to
bring an end to the Arab hostility
which is the root cause of the ten
sion. One of the fundamental
