CARNEGIE

Harry CARNEGIE, a young man about 22 years of age, died last Friday evening of Congestion from which he suffered only a few minutes, at the Stilwell Hotel.
He came in the day before from the south.
He stated that he had been working at Ft. Smith and was full of malaria and was on his way to the hospital.
How he got here and why he stopped here no one knows.
He complained of feeling badly and Mr. MAYS gave him a quilt and he laid in the sample room.
After some hours he went to the lunch counter and called for a bowl of milk, and drank it.
In a very few minutes congestion set up and soon he was dead. Dr. WILLIAMS was hastily summoned but could do nothing for him.
After he was stricken he told Albert BRACY his name and home.
The Mayor and Chief of Police of Portage, Wisconsin, were wired, who wired to embalm his body and ship it to them.
Undertaker CROCKER had his body shipped Saturday night.
Only $1.75 were on his person.
He had an intelligent face.
He was as well cared for as could have been in a strange place.
In a letter to Mayor ALKIRE from relatives at Portage, they stated that his widowed mother was living and that he was the only child.
It will be hard on his mother to have him brought home dead, yet she can have some consolation in the fact that she can know where and how he died and he can be buried in the family lot.

WOLF

Jack DOWNING has been sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of WOLF.
They both belonged to the fullblood organization of "Nighthawks" and were pledged not to accept allotment.
WOLF was begging to file and as he walked out of the Land Office, DOWNING shot him down, and surrendered to the marshal, saying that he only carried out the secret oaths of his organization.
Since then the organization has accepted allotment.

REDBIRD

Jess REDBIRD, an aged and a highly respected full-blood living a short ways out of town, died last Thursday night.
He had not been sick many days, and probably old age had much to cause his death, as he was about 75 years old.
We extend sympathy to bereft relatives and friends.
He was an ex-Union soldier, and he was buried Saturday by the G.A.R.organization.
