irood many people around here, hav

written to Dr. Gilmore:
Aug. 2'J, 1917, Kendal.
Mr. Doc Gilmore.
Murray, Nebr.
Dear Friend Doc:
You will no doubt be surprised at
receiving a letter from me here.
However. I have joined the British
army and will sail for England next
week. We are in camp here doing
ing our preliminary training and are
going to finish our training in Eng
land and go from there to the front.
The food here is rather rough, but
after drilling a fellow gets an appe
tite to cat a: thing. If I arrive safe
in England I will write you from
there. I will have no time to re
ceive a letter from you here, but
hope you will write to me in Eng
land. Kindly remember me to all
the boys in Murray if there are any
left there who have not joined the
army. This is a very much different
country here to what you are used
to. Very warm in the day time and
cold at nights. We need three
blankets to keep warm so you can
guess how cold it is. I don't know
wli ether you remember me or not,
but I am the boy they used to call
Pat. 'that worked for the West boys
this spring. I certainly do hope that
the West boys are doing well as I
expect to do myself if nothing hap
pens. Also remember me to all the
Schafer boys.
Trusting that you are doing well
yourself and in the best of health.
From your friend. Private Mart Wil
liams, (known as Pat around Mur
ray). Aldershot Camp. Nova Scotia.

Bert Bevans Loses Life.
The following article was taken
from a western paper and handed
to the Journal man a few days ago
by Frank Moore, from near Murray,
who was a friend of the unfortunate
man, and he will be .remembered by
many in this locality, where he at
one time resided:
"The people of this city received
a shock such as they had not felt for
years when word was brought in
from Youmans-Simpsons last Satur
day that Bert Bevans had been kill
ed. For a time those who hail known
him could not realize that big, kind
hearted, open-handed Bert Bevans
could lose his life in the timber, but
accidents will happen sometime or
other to every person and so the fact
was forced upon them that Bert had
met with his and that it had been
fatal.
"Bert Bevans and Joe Douthit were
failing timber for the Youmans
Simpson Lumber Co. Both men were
scientific timber fallers and had
worked at the business for years.
They were both careful men in the
woods, hut the most careful men
cannot always tell just where a tree
will fall or how it will bound after
it falls. In this instance the tree
they were falling struck a snag and
broke, the top coming back upon
them. They were standing side by
side behind another big tree, where
they seemed to be perfectly safe, but
the top of the tree whirled back
wards and caught Bert, while Joel
escaped without a scratch. The neck
of the unfortunate man was broken
and his body otherwise badly muti
lated. Joel dug his comrade out of
the brush and debris of the fallen
tree and tried to do something for
him but death had been instantane
ous and he could not have suffered
one moment of pain. Joel sent word
to the mill as quickly as possible,
where they sent word to town and
to Bert's family. Joe Gray, deputy
post-master and Bert's brother-in
law jumped into his auto and went
to the scene, but the mill hands had
already carried the remains out to
the road, and so they were brought
to town and taken to the Eagle's
building. Coroner T. J. McBaniel was

"Lee Bert Bevans was born May
28, 1S72, and was consequently ex
actly 4 4 years and U months old at
the time of his death. He was born
in Des Moines, Iowa, but moved with
his parents to Kansas when he was
quite j-oung, settling at Medicine
Lodge. In ISS'J the family came to
Stevenson and located on a home
stead just west of town, though
there was no town here then. Bert
was married to Mable Gray in 1S5:;,
and five children were born to this
union. They are Wm. B., Ruth. Irene,
Isabelle and Margaret. Ruth died
when quite young but the others to
gether with his faithful and heart
broken wife survive. Wm. Bevans.

spring and is a member of the Ma
rine Band at San Diego. Cal. He was
notified at once, and got a furlough
to come home, but could not arrive
before Wednesday, so the funeral was
postponed until Thursday so that he
might attend.
"Bert Bevans was well and favor
ably known in Stevenson, where he
has lived ever since he was a very
young man. His little farm home
out on Strawberry road is one of the
beauty spots of the locality. His
family of children are intelligent and
interesting and Mrs. Bevans was a
devoted wife and mother. His home
life was a most happy one. Bert was
a big, generous, whole-souled man.
No job was too arduous or danger
ous for him to undertake in behalf
of a suffering fellow-man. Many a
time he' has taken out his rowboat
on a dark and stormy night to row
across the river and bring a doctor
and relief to some poor, suffering
man or woman. During the winter
of 1909-10, in a terrific storm, a
scow got caught in the ice in the

seemed sure he would go over the

Bert Bevans who went tint in a row

to battle with the storm and the ice

landing on the very brink of the falls
himself, and his boat covered with

to do a good turn for a neighbor, or
