Mrs. Belle Steele a homestead
er near Thedford , who holds the
position of Field Superintendent
of an Indian Reservation in
Minnesota was in Broken Bow
Tuesday on her way back to her
Indian charge. She is the wo
man who hired Willie Hollock
at Dunniug last Friday morning
to help her drive a bunch of
cattle to Thedford. She says
they drove as far as Nattick
Friday where they stopped over
night at Mr. Parker's and turned
the cattle in Mr. Parker's pasture
to rest and graze.
They remained at Parker's un
til noon when she and the boy
went out to start the cattle. The
stock broke away from them and
went over the ience and a high
bank into the river. Willie left
the cattle as Mrs Stcclcsupposed
to get the horse he was riding
but never returned. Mrs. Steele
by the assistance of section hands
finally got the cattle out of the
river and on to the road. The
men say they started up the
track towards Thedford. Not
being able to drive the cattle
alone Mrs. btcelc herded them
until evening hoping the boy
would return. As he failed to
come back one of the section
men helped her drive the cattle
on to where she got other help to
take the cattle on home ,
She saw no more of the boy
and did not know what had be
come of him until she heard of
his tragic death. Her theory is
not that the boy was asleep or
planned suicide , but that he
could jump on the cow catcher of
the engine and secure a ride.
She says he had told her of rid
ing on the front of the engine
and that he enjoyed it.

pleted to the cemetery last week.
