OWEN WISTER *DIES SUDDENLY; CILL ONE DAY ' Authot of“The Virignian” Passes Away Visiting - Summer Home (Continued from Page One) to prove just what strength an hon- est man would have against an or- ganization boss. When the returns | were compiled, the “boss” to whon | the novelist referred had 3,458 votes while Mr. Wister had a scant 64 ballots to his credit. He then an- nounced he had made out better than he had anticipated. Creates Sensation Generally credited with being colc and scholarly in his dealings with his fellowmen, Mr. Wister surprised Philadelphia when he voluntaril | appeared before a coroner to plead | for the release of Charles D. Skir- den, a Philadelphia policeman ac- cused of killing a boy. The appear- ance of the novelist at the hearing created a sensation especially when Mr. Wister revealed the fact that the policeman had acted as his guide on a number of trips to the West for material for novels, and had provided the inspiration for the character “Trampas” in “The Vir- ginian.” 1‘ The policeman was discharged | when Mr. Wister adduced a long career in the army in favor of the accused man. Distinguished Ancestry The Philadelphia novelist came of a distinguished ancestry. Born July 14, 1860, he could trace his ancestry back to prominent Revo- lutionary generals and statesmen. | At Harvard he was a classmate of the late President Roosevelt, and a strong attachment grew up be- tween the two young students that ,lasted far into the years when each |in his chosen field of endeavor be- came a national figure. Wister after | his graduation first turned his hand | to music and to the practice of law having been a member of the Phila- delphia Bar. Both proved unsatis- factory, and in 1892 he settled upon writing as the profession to which (he was naturally fitted. In addition to “The Virginian,” among Mr. Wister's best known works are “The Dragon of Want- ley—His Tail,” “Red Men and White,” “Lin McLean,” “The Jimmy John Boss,” “U. 8. Grant, a Biogra- phy,” “Philosophy 4,” “Journey in Search of Christmas,” “Lady Balti more.” “The Simple Spelling Bee,” “Mother,” “The Seven Ages of ‘Washington,” “Members of the Family,” “The Pentecost of Calam- ity,” “The Ancient Grudge or a Straight Deal,” “Indispensible In- formation for Infants.” He also was a contributor to magazines on many subjects. oo LEGION OF THE MOOSE Meeting Friday, July 22, at 7 pm., IO.OF.
