S. B. WEIR IS DEAD.
A shadow of sorrow and gloom ha
been oust nvt-r our community attain
this wepk by news which reached here
Tuesday evening of the death that
afternoon of 9 H Weir a former resl
dent of this place for many year and
another pioneer of this vicinity who
has bean called by the untimely hand
of death it leave friends and loved
ones and be ushered into the great be-
yond. The end came at Topeka. Kan-
sas where Mr. Weir had beenconllned
in a hospital for several weeks and
where he underwent an operation for
an abscess on the brain but which did
not bring relief and his condition stead
ily grew worse until Tuesday when the
cmd came bringing with it the rest and
relief from pain which this mnu skilled
physicians and careful nuisee could
not produce.
The remains will bo brought here for
burial and will arrive today. Funeral
service will be hold at the Christian
church Friday mornina at 11:00 o'clock
Mr. Weir resided In Beaver for many
years and was one of the early day
settlers lie was active and prominent
in publlo affairs and served this county
as sheriff for a time and was also clerk
of the district court for a number of
years. Upon ltavlng Beaver the fam-
ily located at Oberlln Kansas where
they have since resided and here as
In Beaver Mr. Weir was prominent in
publlo life and was elected as county
Judge of tha county In which ho resid-
ed lie was serving his second term
in this official capacity when death
ruthlessly stepped in and robbed his
wife and family ot a kind and devoted
husband and father and touched the
hearts of the hundreds who knew and
admired him and through yea's of close
personal and business relations witli
him had found him always to measure
up to the full standard of an honorable
upright man Ho reared n large fam-
ily and lived to see them all grow up
to become useful men and women. Hu
was scarcely past the half-hundred
mark In years Just in the prime of
mature life when the flickering candle
of life's troubled day was extinguished
and his soul passed into eternity A
wife live duughters four sons and nu-
merous other rtslative't are left to
mourn the loss'of the departed One
child a baby daughter awnlted his
cumlug In the Qlury Land.
The surving members of the Imme-
diate family arc: Mrs.S n Weir tho
wifo Mesilames W T. Qtiinn T II.
McCll E L. Fickel 11 L. Kussell and
Mii Ruth Weir daughters; Frank.
Herbert Ralph and Ray Woir eons.
In tho death of this man the wife
and family have lust a devoted com-
panion and counsellor oue whb ever
looked well to their comfort and care
I and fulfilled the minrinn of a true bus-
I band and father. Their sorrow is one
1 to which no woids no matter how well
chosen or expressed enn bring comfort
and only thoe who have suffered a
great slHictian can know the depth of
grief and agony of heart which those
who mourn are called upon to sulfur
llut. even though words seem impo-
tent nt such un hour of altliction yet
tnu Iov and sympathy of friends doe
alleviato sorrow nud hard indeed would
bo our griefs if thuro were none to
sharo them. This family arc surround-
ed by triends many whose friendships
have been of years standing and nil
sluceicly mourn their loss and would
gladly snatch away their cup of sorrow
were It within human power to do so.
In all such expressions of tender sym-
pathy the editor of the Hi:n.u as one
who had known the departed well
since wo were a mere child and Ign-
ored und respected him most sincerely
Joins. We would point them to the
fact that it Is the broken ties at the
grave that prompts us to a fuller ap-
preciation of the tenderness of the ties
that are not yet broken ; and so while
we mourn the loss of our dead we may
rejoice that there is no clotld so dark
that thorn Is no light behind it no
sorrow so poignant that there is not a
balm for the wound It Inflicts and in
their sorrow there .Is a source from
which comfort and consolation will
come thatsourcu being film in Whom
is all huppiuts uud Jo forever and
over.

DISCREDITSF ORGAN "BUSINESS HAN'S"
LETTER'
Tho following article clipped from
th Roger Mills Sentinel published nt
Oheypni)'- nther discredits tho com-
mimical' m which appeared in the For-
gan ltti'i rpnse recently purported to
havo been ivrittcn by one "MoMurtry"
of Cheyenne to n "business man" of
Kurgan whoso identity so far has not
been discovered nnd whom tho
wnior(?) addressed as "Dear Friend"
in which tho said "McMurtry" advised
' utlness man" or "Dear Friend" not
to Ko into any proposition to promote
tho building and operation of n short
line of railway inasmuch as the people
f Cheyenno had undortaken such &
project and wero practically bank-
rupted with no hope of relief and utter
failure Blaring them in tho face.
Inasmuch as Forgan has never con-
template 1 building or promoting a
short line or any line of railway tl6
good "business man" of that burg
evidently was very solicitous of the
welfaro of hid Beaver frionds nnd tho
the farmers south of thu river who nro
not only projecting but arc actually
constructing n short line of railway
from Heaver to tho W- F it N. W. and
are putting It througb with n whirl
nnd scoured the Information!?) in
their behalf. This is tho first time
Forgan has exhibited any interest In
the county seat town and our people
to the south and we should indeed
show n propor appreciation of tli'lr
kinnness(?)
However the article which follows
shows what the "short line" is doing
for Cheyenne and what the people
think of it and rather places "McMur-
try" In n bad light. Hero's what the
Sentinel says-
Short Like Almost Complete.
Tho Choyenne Short Line is becom
ing more of a reality every day. More
thau seventy men are putiing.the track
in shape fur truffle and it Is stated by
men In i position to know that the
road will be ready for operation within
from 16 to 'JO days. The engine wns
Hred up this (Thursday) morning and
will be uied in hauling rock to riprap
tho briuges for the next few days. The
water works supplies so wo nro In-
formed will be billed out in a few
weeks and the construction work on
tho water system will begin within a
short time after the road Is placed In
acnditiuii for traffic.
(Many business men of other towns
havo beert hero tho pint week looking
for a location nnd some have already
located. Wo aro informed in fact wo
have talked to some parties who will
lopato hero within thu next two or
three weoks. Among them will bo a
lumber yard and another is a poultry
yard and cream station establishment.
There Is nothing now that fllll ro-
tard the advancement of Cheyenne
and with the territory ndjaccnt to
Cheyenno she is suro to b a hum-
dihgor Tho Sontinel (Cheyenne.)
