FAMOUS PAINTER DIES
Great Falls, Mont. The iaino'
us painter of western scenes
Charles M. Russell known as the
‘Cowboy Artist” died suddenly
following a heart attack.
Russell, whose paintings have
brought large sums in America
and Europe, went to Montana as
a lad and become a cowboy. At an
early age his ability became reco
gnized, although his first work
was chiefly caricatures.
His intimate acquaintance
with old Montana in the days of
the cattle drives from the Rockies
an
to the Missouri,made him
authority on western scenes.
Russell did not taka kindly
to attempts to hold him up as a
celebrity. He did however, accept
last year an honorary degree of
doctor of laws from the Univer
| sity of Montana.
