Tragedy on the
Mountain
Como all you folks of Seward
And listen while 1 relate
A story about a Seward boy
And his untimely fate.
'Twas on a foggy Saturday morn,
As you will quickly hear.
Two local boys went hunting
Without a thought of fear.
They climbed the cliffs and shot
their goat
And started to return.
The way was rough, the moun
tain steep.
Tin they thought their path was
firm.
The grass was tall, the rocks
were wet,
An.I just around a turn,
One young lad lost his footing
And that boy was “Young"
Mahurin.
lit' had fallen down the moun
tain side
A thousand feet below,
And landed in a deep ravine
Where his body didn't show.
Brave men had searched for two
full days.
Each group would take its turn;
There were husbands, sons, and
high school boys
And the father of "Young"
Mahurin.
On Tuesday morning the town
turned out,
With heavy hearts, but grim,
For they well knew what a bat
tered form
His body would be in.
They were out three hours, and
shots rang out.
'Twas a signal they all knew.
It meant the finish of their long
search,
For that brave but saddened
crew.
With the aid of ropes they raised
him up.
Gently laid him on the ground:
They marked the place and left
him
So lie could be easy found.
The stars kept vigil throughout
the night,
The night winds must have
moaned.
It was sad to leave him on the
ridge
Under the velvet skies—alone.
Then on Wednesday morning
The men returned again
To that grim task before them
To bring out the body of
“Young" Mahurin.
They wrapped him up so gently

Mrs. Emma Renwald, Agent
"He Had Insurance In The New York Life"
His old horse died and his mule went lame,
And he lost his cow in a poker game.
A cyclone came one summer day
And blew his house and barn away.
Then an earthquake followed to make it good
And swallowed the ground where the house had stood;
And then the mortgage man came round
And heartlessly claimed the hole in the ground.
This shock was so great that he up and died
And his widow and children wept and cried.
But something was left for the kids and wife—
For he had insurance in the NEW YORK LIFE.

And lashed him to a sled
And brought him down the
mountainside
And I’m sure some tears were
shed.
Here's a warning to Seward’s
youth.
From this a lesson take—
Be careful on these hunting
trips
Be alert, and wide awake.
Take no chances on these moun
tain trails.
God grant you a safe return
So you won’t meet that same
sad fate
That befell our •'Young"
Mahurin.
Our thanks go out to those who
searched
Through rocks, tall grass, and
fern.
And our deepest sympathy also
goes
To the family of “Young"
Mahurin.

The first frost of the season
hit town Friday, October 17. We
hope that somebody keeps a
record of the first snowfall, as
there is always that to dispute
about whenever we are not able
to find something else (which is
not often).

“But why not, Matilda? After all, aside from taxes,
gasoline costs about the same now as in 19251"
It takes a far smaller share of your income to keep
your car in gasoline today. Oil men have been beating
increased costs with technical efficiencies that hold
prices down—and yield better gas: two gallons now
do work that used to take three. That’s progress.
