Death of a Noted Character
Max Monvoisin born at Rennes
Franco April l851died at Benkelmin
Neb May 15th 1906 at 1215 am Came

country in 1874 removing to the vicin
ity of the present town of Max in Dundy

forty years ago Shot buffalo on the
plains Was a taxidermist by tradeand
owned some of the finest buffalo heads
in existence Was made first postmaster
at Max and held that office until about
two years ago
One of the most remarkable characters
in southwestern Nebraska Known as a
man of sterling honesty Since the
death of his wife several years ago he
had lived almost the life of a hermit
although he had a wide circle of ac
quaintances who visited him in his
lonely habitation at Max
He became a member of the Knights
of Pythias lodge several years ago and
to his efforts alone the Max lodge of
that order owes its existence to day
Last week he attended the meeting of
the Grand Lodge at Lincoln On his re
turn he contracted a cold which de
veloped into tousilitis On luesday of
this week ho was induced much against
his will to go to the home of his daugh
ter in Benkelman where it was repres
ented to him that he could receive bet
ter caro than at his place in Max He
died suddenly and unexpectedly a few
hours after his removal
In his early years he was a Catholic
and the funeral sermon was preached
by the Reverend Father Lougbran of
McCook in the M E church at Benkel
man Burial in the Benkelman cem
etery where services were condncted by
members of the K of P lodge He is
survived by one daughter Mrs J J
Gallagher of Benkelman who with her
husband resided for a short time on the

STAGECOACH I NG DAYS
Old Wond Bra With a Decided
Flavor of Romance
The old coaching days as far as con
venience for travel was concerned
were the dawn of the great days of our
present rapid means of communication
The seventy years or so in which mall
coaches waxed and flourished and
finally died out before the incursion of
railways and steam engines have a de
cided flavor of romance attached to
them and no doubt the coming and
going of stagecoaches lent a certain
amount of color and interest and life
to the country places and towns
through which ran the great main
coaching roads The Bath road the
Dover road the York road were high
ways of communication along which
rolled the heavy private coaches and
chariots of the country magnates and
the stagecoaches with their steaming
horses passed the various stopping
places with the regularity of clock
work
These stagecoaches with their com
plement of coachmen and guards af
forded endless subjects of interest and
Illustration to the artist and the liter
ary men of the day Imagine Charles
Dickens without stagecoaches and de
nuded of all his vivid descriptions of
the scenes such as those in the yard of
the White Hart inn High street Bor
ough in Pickwick or of the mail
coach on the Dover road in A Tale of
Two Cities It Is difficult for the pres
ent generation to realize the fatigue
and the wintry cold of such long jour
neys when frozen feet were enveloped
in a little straw and a shawl folded
round the neck was thought to be a fit
protection against the keen night air
