Mrs. Mary Janes Fales, 84 years of age, endeared through her ministrations to pioneer families of this section of Wyo- ming and more affectionately known as “Old Mother Fales,” has passed to kindly spirit are now lying in the great beyond. The earthly remains of this state at the Bowman mortuary se that hundreds of residents of Gasper and this vicinity who knew and loved her can pay their Jast respects before the body is interred at Highland cemetery. One of the peculiarly high types of Womanhood who followed the frontier &s it mover ever westward, the woman to whom scores of pioncers are now paying tribute had one great function while history was in the makiuz. Having an inherent knowledge of medicine and having developed her talents in the great open places with the asristance of nature and without the specialized training of the present day, the pioneer woman nevertheless attained a reputation in the early days of having in her power never failing cure and a kindly spirit which enabled her to respond to the plea for assist- ance fron# the needy. In the earlier days when the Indian was contesting the white men’s right to the great open ranges of the west the pionéering spirit of this tiny wom- an took her among the Red men and in many she was hailed as the . Indians, racle % everywhere paid her homage because of the mirac- ulous benefits which T™members of their tribes derived from her ministrations. It is algo chronicled that two Indian tribes, one of which was the Arapa- hoes and the other lost in history's making clashed over this lone woman, the Arapahoes having elected to de- fend her when her tiny cabin was be- set with danger from the other’ tribe, @ wandering outfit which chanced to come upon this habitat which was nothing other than the semblance of the hated white man. Actual hostilities between the two Indian tribes was averted by the wom- an hehself who acted as mediator of the trouble and demonstrated her pow- er over the red man by having the homage of the two tribal chiefs when the pipe of peace was smoked. * She accomplished this result mainly by temporarily delaying the hostilities while she administered to one of the members of the tribe beset her cabin, who was injured in the first outbreak of warlike tactics on the part of the Arapahoes. This fittle history of pioneer Wyom- ing was enacted on the Rattlesnake mountains, which lie to the west and south of Casper. At her tiny home 1117 North How- ard street, Mrs. Fales maintained to the end the spirit of the pioneer. . The homie iiself is located at the extreme northast end of additions to Casper. The tiny hut is a replica of many inemes in which she has lived through- out her lifetime and as through the years she is surrounded on all sides by members of her family. In Casper there are three sons, 17 grandchildren and 18 great grandchild- ren to mourn the loss of this woman. It is peculier that she was “mother” to all of them. Her only other child, Mis, Sarah Roberts lives at Idaho Falls, Idaho. The children who survive Mrs. Fales have a total age of 230 years. They are Sam Redsaul, 65; Martin Ashcraft, 61; John H. Fales, 53; and Mrs. Rob- erts 51. > Mrs. Fales, whose maiden name was Mary Jane: Boyle was married three times: Her first husband Sam Bed- saul senior died shortly before tho out- Twenty-Five Out of 68 Guests Injured by Buras and Leaping; Ruins May Cover Other Bodies, Belief RICHMOND, Va., Feb. 7.—Three persons are known to be a fire here early today which and several adjoining build- ings with a loss estimated at $150,000.
