Davidson - Hegseth
- - - - -
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Davidson on the ranch ten miles northeast
of here was the scene of a very pretty wedding at high noon on Tuesday,
January 3rd in which their daughter Miss Hildur was presented in
marriage to Mr. Ole Hegseth, a prosperous farmer residing four miles
north of Sentinel Butte. Rev. C. S. Thorpe of Glendive performed the
ceremony.
Only the relatives and immediate friends of the contracting parties were
present, but these agree that the occasion was a most delightful one.
The home was tastefully decorated for the occasion, handsome gifts
bespoke the popularity of the young couple; and a sumptuous wedding
dinner served by Mrs. Davison contributed to make the day long
remembered.
Mr. Hegseth has just built a comfortable new home on his farm, where he
and Mrs. Hegseth will shortly be at home to their friends. They left
after the ceremony, for a short wedding trip to eastern points, upon
which the best wishes of their many friends will accompany them.

Lawrence Williams of Jamestown, who died within the past week, is said
to have worked in this vicinity during a part of the past year - part of
the time on a switch engine and part of the time running a plowing
engine for E. Brown. The young man was a veteran of Co. H of the North
Dakota regiment in the Philippines. He had been married just three days
at the time of his death. He was a personal friend of George Purchase of
this place, who speaks of him as a most exemplary young man.

Because of limited time before going to press, The Advance was
regretfully obliged to omit a nicely written contributed article on the
Davidson-Hegseth wedding on January 3rd. An account published last week
gave this wedding as having occurred on New Year's Day - apparently an
error. Friends having news articles of this or other kinds will confer a
favor if they can submit them for current week's publication, with such
details as may be required.

Hogan - Bloom Marriage
- - - - - -
Jack Bloom, a familiar figure about town for some time past, left town a
few days ago, for Underwood, where a report has it that he was to be
married on Tuesday of the present week to a Miss Agnes Hogan. Mr. Bloom
has some farming interests near Carlyle, where the couple will doubtless
return in the spring to look after their property. Mr. Bloom has been
engaged with the Hub restaurant during the winter months, where he
established a rather genial reputation for himself as the original
conversational food juggler. He has a wide circle of friends who will
congratulate him upon his good fortune in a matrimonial way, if reports
prove well founded as to the plans believed to have been consummated
Tuesday.
Later information advises us that the marriage occurred at Bismarck at
noon Tuesday. Mrs. Madison of this city, an aunt of the bride, was
present to witness the ceremony.

Mute Dragged From Train, Died At Sentinel Butte
- - - - -
A Sentinel Butte dispatch of last week tells of a sad death which
occurred there when William Trotter, a deaf and dumb man from Minnesota,
died at the Butte hotel. The circumstances surrounding his death were
rather peculiar, to say the least. The first that was seen of him was on
Friday night when he was put off No. 6 in a semi- conscious condition
and was at first supposed, by the depot force, to be under the influence
of liquor. He was totally unable to control his limbs or even move them
and was dragged into the depot, where, as stated above, he was supposed
to be 'dead drunk.' Further investigation proved, however, that the man
had not been drinking at all and Doctor Curtis was then called and the
unfortunate man moved to a room in the Butte hotel where, in spite of
all that could be done for him, he died early next morning. Doctor
Curtis, Druggist Hemstad and Arthur Englund of the depot force, stayed
up with him all night and did what they could to save his life but to no
avail. It was a case of heart failure, according to the doctor, who had
examined the man twice previously, and very little could be done for him
when he had reached the stage that he was in when the doctor was called.
The man was put on the train at Wibaux and an effort is being made to
ascertain what happened to him there, who put him on the train etc., but
at this writing nothing further has developed. Deceased had relatives in
Watertown, Minn., and an effort was made to communicate with them but as
nothing was heard the remains were laid to rest in the cemetery here.

George Lake, one of the bonanza farmers of the southern townships,
writes local friends from St. Paul that he will return home within a few

teacher in the Hede district. Mr. and Mrs. Lake will be greeted with
sincere congratulations and best wishes. Each has a large circle of
friends in the neighborhood of their future home, and their return to
begin housekeeping on the farm will be welcomed as a distinct gain to
the community in which they are located.

Popular Girl Dead
- - - - -
Serious Nature of Her Illness Was Not Generally Known - Funeral
Wednesday
- - - - -
Miss Isabelle Josephine Thompson is dead - her death having occurred at
an early hour Saturday morning, February 11th, following a short illness
from what appeared to be nervous exhaustion. A physician had been in
attendance upon the case for only about ten days. Consultations were
held as the gravity of her condition became apparent, but a steady,
painless decline marked her closing days, baffling all the medical skill
that could be brought to bear upon it.
Miss Thompson was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Reier Thompson of this
city. Of an affectionate and cheerful disposition, she was a popular
favorite among her large circle of acquaintances. She was an active
member and worked in the Lutheran church of this city, from whose house
of worship the funeral services were conducted on Wednesday afternoon in
the presence of a large concourse of people. Rev. C. S. Thorpe came down
from Glendive to officiate at the services. Interment was made in the
Lutheran cemetery.
Miss Thompson was born in Jackson County, Wis., twenty-seven years ago
the 16th of last September. She was one of eight children, being
survived by both parents and the following brothers and sisters: Messrs.
H. R., A. R., and R. B. Thompson of Taylor, Wis., C. L. Thompson of
Grafton, N.D., and Mesdames A. Anderson and J. O. Knutson, both of
Blair, Wisconsin. All were present at the funeral and will remain over
for a few days to comfort the bereaved parents.
Miss Thompson's death will be recognized as a social loss to the entire
community. The esteem in which she was held was attested by floral
offerings in the greatest profusion.

Well Known Farmer Has Passed Beyond
- - - - -
On Saturday evening, the 11th inst., occurred the death of Mr. John
Malling, a well-known farmer residing near Rocky Butte. His death was
due to acute oedema of the lungs, super induced by Brights disease.
Mr. Malling had been a resident of this section for about two or three
years. He is survived by his wife and mother, there being no children
living, as nearly as can be learned by The Advance. The remains were
prepared for burial by Undertaker Meeker of Overstad & Hoverson's and
were shipped to the Twin Cities for interment.

In the course of a conversation regarding his recent trip to Claremore,
Oklahoma, on account of his brother's recent death, J. D. Halstead
informed an Advance representative the other day regarding the cause of
death, which was neuralgia of the heart. No previous information had
been transmitted here regarding the ailment from which Mr. Halstead
died. The deceased, Mr. Robert N. Halstead, had been a pioneer resident
here, and the community was greatly shocked when the news was sent here
that he had passed away on January 24th. Had he survived a few days
longer he would have been sixty years of age. Fred Halstead of this
place and Mrs. L. M. Robertson of Claremore are the only surviving
heirs.

First To Wed In New Church
- - - - -
Pastor Bennett of the M. E. church christened the new edifice with its
first wedding last evening, notwithstanding the structure is not
formally completed and open for engagements of the more pretentious
sort. The applicants for matrimonial honors were Herman Minchow, a
farmer residing several miles south of here on the Montana side of the
line, and Miss Anna Doring, who has been his housekeeper for some time.
Mr. Minchow was recently burned out of his home on the farm, but is
willing to take a chance on better luck next time, and is making
preparations for basis, in which the friends of the housekeeping on a
permanent contracting parties will wish them all possible happiness and
success. (Note - this last paragraph is transcribed exactly as printed

of his own death, which some one had wired to Beach from Taylor, Wis.,
with request for further particulars. The telegram was turned over to
Mr. Horn for reply, but as he has been unable to arrange the necessary
'particulars' yet he hardly knows how to respond. He believes, in view
of his present good health, that the report may be said to have been
somewhat exaggerated.

Young Claim Holder Died After Attending Dance
- - - - -
After dancing nearly all night, and returning afoot three or four miles
Tuesday morning - part of the time running to keep up with his
companions - Ray Williams, a young claim-holder north of town died
suddenly at the shack of the Meyers boys, his neighbors, with whom he
had come back from the entertainment. Consternation reigned in the
household when it became known that Williams was dead. He had
accompanied the boys on their way home, intending to walk the remainder
of the distance to his claim on the 'strip,' but complained of some
fatigue, and asked to lie down till breakfast was ready. When called he
made no response, and life was found to be extinct.
Dr. Museus was called and pronounced the man's death to be due to heart
failure. Acting Coronor Bond was sent for, however and went out
Wednesday, accompanied by Dr. Smith, and on holding a formal inquest,
the finding was practically substantiated.
His parents are said to reside at Akeley, Minn., and were notified by
wire. His mother and a sister have since arrived to look after the
remains. The deceased was a single man about 35 years old, and had no
local relatives except a sister, Mrs. Smyth, who resides in the same
neighborhood.

Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Sprague have placed February 28 down in the family

representative, Mr. Sprague was carrying home a package of bonbons,
which a thoughtful local dealer had sent up for the young man's
delectation - and to get him started with the right ideas of where to
buy confections. Will says he thinks it's all right, as the boy will
very soon be large enough to enjoy them, but it is suspected that this
is one case where the young man gets buncoed out of the sweetmeats.

Mrs. Edgar Drum, Daughter of Local Family, Died As Result of Burns
- - - - -
Messages received by Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Philpott of this city yesterday
morning and afternoon brought, successively, the news of the very
serious burning of their daughter Mrs. Grace Drum, at Creston, Iowa, and
of her death from the burns.
The sad significance of this news becomes the more real when it is
understood that Mrs. Drum is the mother of a baby daughter born as late
as the closing days of February, and that her husband, Mr. Edgar Drum,
had but just left her bedside at his parents' home at Creston and
proceeded to his claim thirty miles north of here to build a home for
the wife and child who were soon to follow him. At the time of the
receipt of the messages here, he was too far away to be reached by
immediate information of the disaster which had wrecked his plans.
The details of the tragedy were not fully set forth in the messages
received by Mr. and Mrs. Philpott, and in their grief at the loss which
has overtaken them it has been impossible to learn much of the facts
surrounding the awful accident. The supposition is that the burns were
sustained from an explosion or an other unforeseen accident with a
gasoline lamp which it is believed was being used in her bedroom. Mrs.
Drum's parents are residents in Woodhull's Addition to Beach, and the
young people are understood also to have lived here prior to their
departure for Iowa some time ago to spend the winter. The young mother
was but twenty-two years of age - just embarking upon the experiences of
life and full of hope for the future. Mrs. Philpott left last evening
for Creston to bring back the motherless baby to its distressed father,
who will have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community.

Butte Miner Deliberately Drops Twenty-one Hundred Feet
Thomas Hendrickson, twenty-six years of age, a miner, chose a method for
committing suicide that is unparallel in the history of the Butte camp,
for he apparently deliberately leaped 2,100 feet into the bowels of the
earth to his death, a distance equal to leaping off the top of a
building 105 stories in height. Hendrickson's body was picked up in
pieces, pulpy and unrecognizable. He first removed his coat and hat,
hanging them on a nail. He then crawled under the guard rail and jumped
into the parrot shaft. Friends can attribute no motive for the deed.

After being missed for about three weeks the body of Frank Rouchett was

Yard Supt. Found Dead
- - - - -
James L. Osborne Of Glendive Was Killed
- - - - -
Was Father of Mrs. O. R. Niece of Beach - Wife Here At Time of Death
- - - - -
Local Yard Superintendent James L. Osborne of the N. P. at Glendive was
found dead with a fractured skull near the Northern Pacific railway
tracks in the city last Friday night. Mr. Osborne was the father of Mrs.
O. R. Niece of this city, and Mrs. Osborne was here as a guest of her
daughter at the time of his death.
Little is known as to the nature of the accident which must have
befallen the deceased. The presence of all his portable possessions,
including about $80 in cash, renders the idea of foul play wholly
unlikely. He was near the railway tracks when found, but no marks were
found except a fracture of the skull.
The deceased was prominent and well like in his community; and the
funeral services, held Wednesday under the auspices of the Masonic
order, is said to have been one of the most largely attended funerals
ever held at that place.
Mrs. Niece is now with her mother in Glendive and will remain with her
until about the first of the week. The family comprises two unmarried
children besides the surviving mother and Mrs. Niece.

Child Meets Awful Death In Flames
- - - - -
Fire Originating From Gasoline Stove Burns Cottage and Results in
Cremation of Hugh Elder, Aged 11 years
- - - - -
Frightful death in the quick flames caused by a defective or badly
handled gasoline stove was the fate that met little Hugh Elder,
eleven-year-old son of Mrs. J. A. Elder, at their cottage near North
Hunter Street about three o'clock on Tuesday morning. The boy's death is
one of the most tragic things that has ever occurred in this city.
The young lad and his mother have been residents of Beach for only five
or six weeks. Mrs. Elder having come here from Black River Falls to
assist in operating the new Golden Valley Hotel belonging to H. C.
Callender. Their only near acquaintances here were Wm. and Ed. Ball, one
of whom is understood to be a relative of Mrs. Elder's by marriage. Ed.
Ball was a roomer in her house, and having been up for some purpose,
lighted the gasoline stove after returning in order to warm some water.
In some way the stove began to blaze up, setting fire to surrounding
combustibles, and ultimately exploed, filling the entire house with
flame. It is said that the child, on awaking, crawled under the bed,
already surrounded with flames, and the most horrible incineration was
the result.
There is a lamentable want of definiteness to the testimony adduced
regarding the facts leading up to the fatality. State's Attorney
Gallagher was absent from town at the time, and an inquest is said to
have been held by Justice Edward Egan, with Attorney Jefferson acting
for the state, and comprised two sessions, at the last of which the
party directly instrumental in the accident did not appear. It is
understood that there were no incriminating finds made by the coroner's
jury, the evidence being insufficient to warrant them.
It is admitted by Ball that he had had three or four drinks during the
previous evening, and his acquaintances say he had been on a drunk
during a good deal of the time since the previous Friday. There is a
general feeling that to these facts could be traced the responsibility
of the tragedy. Who sold him the liquor is not known, but as he is not a
type of man to whom liquor would be sold by an ordinarily 'respectable'
blind pigger, it would appear that there is room for an investigation,
which should have prompt attention at the state's attorney's earliest
opportunity.
The cottage occupied by Mrs. Elder was the property of Henry Walters,
and was insured through E. E. Noble's agency. It was entirely destroyed
within a few minutes after the beginning of the conflagration.
Through the thoughtfulness of C. H. Clark and other sympathizing
townsmen, a purse of about $170 was raised for the bereaved mother, who
lost everything in the fire. The purse was subscribed to unanimously by
those to whom the matter was presented, and Mrs. Elder expressed sincere
thanks and appreciation of the prompt manner of bestowing relief upon
the unfortunate out here in the western country in which she was almost
a total stranger.

At about 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 22nd, occurred the death of Thomas
W. King, a horseman, who in times past was well known here as a
companion and employee of J. W. Snow. Mr. King had but recently disposed
of a claim which he was holding several miles north of here, and he then
accompanied C. W. Elliott on a trip through western Canada. During this
trip it is alleged that he suffered somewhat from exposure to rain on
one or more occasions, which hastened the inroads of consumption, toward
which he had some tendencies before. He was at the farm of Mrs. Snow at
the time of his death, and his wife, who was his sole immediate
survivor, was with him. Mr. King was fifty-two years of age. He was born
at Homes, Minnesota, but lived at LaCrosse, Galesville and Merrillan,
Wisconsin, before coming here. Mr. and Mrs. King were long-time friends
of Mr. and Mrs. Snow, and it was at the home of the latter couple, in
Merillan, that their wedding took place many years ago. It is probable
that Mrs. King will remain for some time with Mrs. Snow, who now makes
her home at the State Line Hotel in this city. Funeral services were
conducted by Rev. W. G. Bennett of the local Methodist church on Monday,
and interment was made in the Beach Cemetery.

Special correspondent.
A most sad and tragic death occurred in this locality Saturday
afternoon, Aug. 5, about 2:30, when Charles Gilbert, the nine-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Amos G. Oby, was dragged to death by a yearling
colt. He accompanied Harry, his fourteen- year-old brother, out upon the
prairie, a short distance from the home, to catch the colt and lead it
to the barn. It being very tame and gentle, the object of their mission
was soon accomplished without trouble, when Harry's attention was
attracted by the presence of some birds in a nearby coulee. A long rope
had been fastened about the colt's neck, and the little lad was left in
charge of the animal while his brother went in search of the game. In
innocent, child-like fashion, with no thought of danger, he sat upon the
ground, and it is presumed, began playing with the loose end of the rope
by winding it about his ankles and then removing it only to repeat the
performance. Thus he whiled away the few moments of his brother's
absence. Then, as the brother, returning appeared above the rim of the
coulee, a few rods away, and the little fellow had the fatal coil about
his legs, the older boy was horrified to see the colt start, first
walking, then trotting, dragging his victim thirty or forty feet behind.
Seeing the trailing rope and its human freight, the animal became
frightened and started at full gallop for the barn. The little lad
fought manfully to release the coils from about his ankles as he was
dragged rapidly over the ground, behind the fleeing colt. He maintained
a sitting posture for a considerable distance, then realizing his
helplessness, he twisted his little body about, called to his brother
'Oh Harry, help me!' and sank back full length upon the ground.
A short way from the house the animal plunged through a buffalo wallow,
the victim striking the abrupt bank with such force as to cause the
strands of the rope to part, and then, a few moments later the little
bruised and bleeding body was found by the mother and brother. There
were a few faint flutterings of the heart and the little life had gone.
The body was carried to the home and the neighbors notified, and a
messenger was dispatched to Mr. Oby, who was on the return trip from
Beach. The tragic passing of their loved one is the first great sorrow
of the hitherto happy family, and is a crushing blow to the parents and
surviving brother and sister. He was a child of exceptionally bright and
sunny disposition, a general favorite among his comrades, and the pride
and joy of the home. He was the youngest of three children.
Charles Gilvert Oby was born Aug. 25, 1901 at Randall, Minn. In the year
1910 he came with his parents, Amos G. and Alta E. Oby, to the Stuart
neighborhood, where the family settled upon a homestead. Though so young
he had confessed his faith and hope in a Savior's love, and was a
faithful attendant at the Stuart Sunday School.
The funeral service was held at the home Sunday afternoon, at 4 o'clock,
conducted by Rev. L. C. Hoppel, and the remains were interred in the
cemetery at Carlyle, on Monday. The sympathy of the community is
extended to the family in the great bereavement.

Old Timer Gone Beyond
- - - - -
Pioneer Of Medora And Bismarck
- - - - -
Reported That His Corpse Was Found In Yellowstone Park
- - - - - -
The Bismarck Tribune, of the 13th inst., gave the following regarding an
old-time character, formerly well known there and at Medora: News has
reached here of the finding of the body of 'Foul-Mouth Bill Jones' in
Yellowstone park. It is supposed that he became lost last winter and was
frozen to death.
Where is the old timer of Bismarck or Medora of thirty years ago who
does not remember 'Bill Jones?' Jones was a man of limited education,
but had a ready and wonderful amount of repartee, and a warm heart. In
the early seventies he was a soldier in the regular army at Fort
Pembiana, from which post he deserted, and traveled up the Red river to
where Fargo is now located, where he joined the surveying part of the N.
P. and came over the country to Bismarck, where he lived some years. He
at one time drove the mail wagon from Bismarck to Fort Stevenson. Some
thirty years ago he drifted to the Little Missouri country, where he
followed hunting and working on ranches. For two terms he served as
sheriff of Billings county. He left there some ten years ago for the
Yellowstone park, in which country he remained until his death.
To distinguish him from another 'Bill Jones,' he was called 'Foul Mouth
Bill.'
May his soul rest in peace.

Wedding Set Social Pace

Piesik Nuptials Largely Attended
- - - - -
And Gave Citizens New Standards of Warm-Hearted Hospitality
- - - - - -
The wedding of Miss Annabel Roller to Mr. B. T. Piesik on Monday, which
was announced in The Advance last week, set some new standards of
hospitality, according to the reports of citizens who received
invitations to this happy event and to the elaborate dinner which
followed it at the Piesik home of South Grant Street.
The wedding occurred in the morning, amidst a large circle of friends
and relatives of the contracting parties. Reverened Father Otto Wolpers
had charge of the ceremony, and the service was performed at the
conclusion of the beautiful wedding march so aptly designed for such
occasions. Miss Roller was handsomely attired in the conventional white
silk and veiling, and was a picture of feminine loveliness. The Advance
hardly dares describe the manly appearance of the genial Barney, for
fear he may suspect us of intended flattery; but just the same, the
happy groom was there 'with the goods' and looked his part admirably.
The home was tastily decorated with floral and other appropriate
display, completing the setting for a most charming picture of nuptial
felicity.
Several prominent local citizens were present by special invitation at
the wedding dinner at the noon hour, and all express themselves in
glowing terms regarding the bountiful repast spread before them.
A party of these contributed together in the purchase of a very nice
wedding present as a token of their respect to the bride and groom,
which was appreciatively received, as were also numerous others from
their immediate friends and kinsmen. Mr. and Mrs. Piesik are now away on
a short wedding tour, from which they will return about the first of
September.

Fatal Auto Accident

Dickinson Lady Instantly Killed

Mrs. M. H. Lindsley Run Over While Crossing Business Street
- - - - -
A terrible auto accident occurred in Dickinson last Friday night, when
Mrs. M. H. Lindsley, one of the prominent ladies of that city, was run
over by an automobile and instantly killed, her head being crushed. The
auto was drived by Miss Peck, a 17- year-old girl, two or three other
young ladies being with her.
Mr. and Mrs. Lindsley were crossing the street near the library, Mr.
Lindsley in the lead and his wife following, when the automobile was
heard and seen approaching. Mrs. Lindsley appears to have become
confused, backed up and started forward again, being in the path of the
machine, and crushed to death a few feet from where her husband was
standing. Miss Peck is frantic with grief over the occurrence. It is
doubtful if any inquest will be held, as no particular blame seems to be
attached to any one.

Murder At Marmarth
- - - - -
States Attorney Called To Investigate
- - - - -
Tom Corkery, a Former Railway Conductor, Was Victim of Fatal Shot
- - - - -
Word comes from Marmarth that Tom Corkery, a one-armed sheep herder well
known in that section, was the victim of a brutal murder committed
between eleven and twelve o'clock Sunday night, and was found dead on
the following morning in his wagon not more than a block from the
principal business street. States Attorney Gallagher was called over
from here to ferret out the facts in the case and has not yet returned
as we go to press. From the reports current here it is gathered that a
tough character named Glass has been arrested on charge of the murder,
together with another man said to have been seen with him, whose name is
not learned. Glass has a bullet wound through his thigh, that he did not
have on the previous evening, for which no satisfactory explanation is
given. The deceased was seen in the company of Glass a few hours before
the shooting occurred. The victim was a well known character between
fifty-five and sixty years of age, and was formerly a railroad conductor
but had been compelled to leave the road owing to the loss of an arm. It
is supposed that his assailants believed him to have drawn his pay just
previous to the murder and that robbery was their motive. A version of
the story has it that he had no money with him, and that the purpose of
his assailants was foiled so far as the robbery was concerned.

Report comes from Yates that an unknown man, of apparently middle age,

hour Tuesday morning according to the report here, the engineer noticed
that a man had been struck and crushed beneath the wheel, and reported
the accident at Yates but did not stop to investigate the gruesome
details of the affair before he passed. Persons driving back to the
scene found the body of an unknown man, mangled beyond recognition, and
bearing no marks or papers that would seem to furnish any clue to his
identity.
Being on the Montana side of the line, the affair had to be reported to
the coroner at Glendive, where it is said the remains were taken. The
Advance has been unable to learn if more material facts have been
gleaned regarding the accident, down to the present time.

another one. The contracting parties in the wedding which he did perform
were Nathan Levi Orton of Dennis, Montana, and Mrs. Nell Hurt, daughter

they had secured their marriage license there, and on presenting
themselves here for marriage it was found necessary for the clergyman to
accompany them back into Custer county for the ceremony. Taking an

boundaries, where the marriage service was conducted within the

Death of P. Mulligan - - - - - 'Paddy,' A Popular Booster For Beach - -
- - - Well Liked Local Working Man Victim of Fatal Accident Monday
Morning - - - - - All Beach mourns the death of Paddy Mulligan, which
occurred late Monday afternoon as the result of injuries which must have
been received at an early hour of the mourning somewhere along the
railroad right of way west of town. The victim was found near the coal
chutes about nine o'clock in the morning, suffering from a crushed
shoulder and severe internal injuries, besides a deep scalp wound
cutting clear to the bone. There is a supposition among his friends that
he must have tried to board a moving train, but when found he was in too
serious a condition to give any coherent account of the accident, and
his death occurred at the hospital a number of hours later from the
severe shock caused by the accident. Mulligan was a popular handy man
about Beach, where he had been a good deal of the time for the past two
years or thereabouts, assisting at the opera house, doing janitor work,
posting bills, and doing whatever came to his hand. He is said to have a
claim near Ekalaka, but was unable to remain on it the past year owing
to drought. Besides his characteristics as a hard worker, Paddy was well
liked for his generous qualities of heart, and his death is sincerely
mourned by a wide circle of friends. His mother, Mrs. J. Mulligan, of
Everett, Mass., has been communicated with and has sent an inquiry
regarding the particulars of the accidnet. It is believed that burial
will be made at the local cemetery today.
