Death Claims Evert B. Beenders.
It is with a feeling of deep re
gret and sadness that we under
take the recording here of the
death of Evert Benard Beenders,
which occured just before one
bppvaseeehepea shrd hrdl mfwym
o clock on Sunday morning, Mar.
21, at the home of his mother-in
law, Mrs. C. S. Cook, in thfs, city,
The end came as the result of
pneumonia, following influenza,
with which he was stricken eleven
days prior to his death.
Loving hearts and willing
hands and the best medical skill
procurable did everything to save
the patient from the dreadful mal
ady which each day of its relent
less siege gained a firmer hold up
on its victim.
The funeral was conducted at
2:00 o 'clock yesterday afternoon
from the Christian church, Rev.
Geo. II. Elllq and Elder B. J. Fike
having charge of the service. The
church was filled with the neigh
bors and friends of this fine
young man, who assembled there
as a final tribute to ^nm whom
all respected and esteemed. The
remains were laid to rest in the
local cemetery.
The deceased was born at Creta,
Nebraska, on December 23, 1886.
He came to this community 12
years ago last fall, and the fol
lowing year was followed hither
by his parents, and the rest of the
family, where they purchased
large farming interests and have
since been classed among our
most extensive and successful
farmers, the deceased and his
three brothers taking full charge
of the business laîst fall, when
their parents and youngest sister
returned to Nebraska to reside.
On June 28, 1914, the subject of
this sketch and Miss Bessie Cook,
one, of the community's most
charming daughters, were united
in marriage. Besides his wife and
parents, he is survived by three
brothers and four sisters: John
Frank and William Beenders of
this;, vicinity ; Mrs. Ed. Oetkin, of
Kaimah ; Mrs. Ella Steinheidier,
of Dorchester, Neb.; Mrs. Omar
Marshall, of this vicinity; and
Miss Louise Beenders, of Creta,
Neb.
The visitation of the Grim
Reaper always brings sadness and
sorrow, but, as in this ease, the
load is doubly felt when the call
is made while life is at its fullest,
when the foundation hats been
well laid for success and a vista
rich in promise stretches into an
apparent far future. In their bur
den of this, their first great sor
row, the family of Evert Beenders
have the heartfelt sympathy of
all who knew him.

Last Thursday evening between
the setting of the sun and the
early dawn the Juniors mustered
up the courage to hang upon the
flag pole at half mast their colors
and when the seniors arrived next
morning they were asked what
they (the Juniors) were going to
do about it. This proved to be
too much of an insult to the Sen
ior as a mass meeting was hurried
ly called in the street and ways
and means were discussed as to
how the pennant was to be remov
ed. At the first onslaught of the
seniors they were badly defeated.
Then they retreated and enlisted
the srvices of the Sophomores and
the Freshmen rallied to the ranks
of the Juniors. Finally after a
general mixup the seniors and
sophomores succeeded by super
ior startegy and harder fighting
in scaling the pole and removing
the pennant. After all was over
everybody shook hands and out
side of a few bloody noses the
seniors and sophomores retreated
the victore of the day.
The Spartan Literary Society
challenged the Athenians to a
game of basket ball which was
played last Thursday evening.
The game turned out with a 'score
of 25 to 14 in favor of the Spar
tans.
By the end of this week the
high school will be equipped with
20 steel lockers for use in the
dressing rooms. Supt. Skinner,
through his correspondence with
the Spokane Y. M. C. A., heard of
their proposed sale, and the gen
erous, offer of the school board to
bear half the expense made their
purchase possible. They cost $3
apiece and 20 high school boys
subscribed $1.50 each, while the
school board paid the remainder
in freight charg
es from Spokane to Nezperce.
Hitherto, there have been no ar
rangements adequately taking
care of athletic equipment and the
lockers are a great asset to the
school.
The "Amazons" Scores Big Hit.
The Amazons, a farcial romance
was produced with polished per
fection at the high school auditor
ium last Friday evening.
The play was set in an exten
sive pre-war English park on a
sunshiny September day. Lady
Belturb who owned the park,
had three clever daughters whom
she had brought u pas boys—in
fact they were boys, until one day
they fell in love. Shooting, swim
ming and other in lovefdw mfwy
ming and other boyish pranks
ceased to be fun and the one de
sire was to don petticoats. At
the end of the play they were 'seen
in their true guise—three charm
ing young English women, living
in an age previous to the war.
It would be hard to comment
upon the characters individually
for they each afforded ample en
tertainment and justified the one
purpose of Sir Arthur Wing Pin
ero's famous drama which is to
amuse.
