is needless to comment on each indi

to say it was 100 per cent good in
every part.
The popular artists Field and Cook
from our neighboring city of Flatts
mouth furnished the climax to the
entertainment with their songs, jokes
and blackface comedy stuff. These
boys are hard to beat and when their
names appear on any bill the audi
ence is assured of plenty of pood
wholesome fun. Taken altogether as
stnted in the begining it was a suc

club to put on several more during
the winter if you are called to de
vote your time and talent, don't be
selfish and expect the same ones to
do all the work. If you think its all
fun get in the game and find out
th" truth. In conclusion will say the
only criticism heard on the enter
tainment was that:it was too short"
and as it lasted the better part of ! carnzation
two hours we consider this the great

any entertainment.

Mrs. Wiley's death was caused
from burns received so:ae four weeks
before when in the act of restarting
a fire the kerosene can exploded,
setting her clothing on fire and alse
the room. She first put out the fire
on her person by rolling in the snow
and then with water she put out the
one in the room, she then called for
help and the doctor as she was alone
at the time of the accident. All was
eionedone to stop her suffering that
human hands could do. She bore her
pains and waited patiently until the
end came. She was taken to Jules
burg, Colorado, by her doctor the day
before her death to the hospital in
hopes that more could be done for
her but she passed away during the
night.
Mrs. Wiley was a good woman and
her death is not only mourned by
her relatives but by "u host of friends
as well. Funeral services were held
at the Christian church in Murray at
12 o'clock Sunday, conducted by
Rev. Williams of Clay Center, Ne
braska, an old friend of the family.
She united with the Christian church
when a young girl and has been a
devout member since that time.
During the services two songs we re
sung by the choir, they being "We
are Going Down the Valley" and
"Face to Face." Mrs. Hiatt sung as
a solo "Death is Only a Dream." Her
body was laid to rest in the Young
cemetery where her father and moth
er anl two brothers sleep.
