\|} . STOICINDIANBOY | *Cecelia’s church at 10 o'clock, with ! GALLED BY DEATH “Little Chief,”” Brave Warrior Against Pain, Dies at St. Joseph Hospital. [ CHUMS ARE PALLBEARERS | “Little Chief” is dead. The stoic charity patient, an 11- year-old Sioux Indian, whose cheer- ful indifference to pain for the lm\g[ months that he has suffered won the | admiration of the nuns, doctors and nurses at St. Joseph hospital, has gone to the happy hunting grounds. | He was buried Friday morning in Gregory, S. D. Peter Selwyn was the little chief’s | right name, but his sobriquet is what his chums and the hospital authori- ties called him. Peter was a leader of boys. Despite his lame leg (the vietim tubercular knee) the voung Indian joined with his little white friends in their pastimes. Peter steadfastly rcfused to believe that he was going to get better, but never complained. No Fear of Death. Recently, when he had been brought back to the hospital from St. Francis academy to undergo another operation, “Little Chief” turned to the attendant nun and said: “Sister, I am going to die soon.” “No, chief, you are not. You are going to get better after this opera- of a tion,” was the reply. “You try to encourage me,” said Peter. “I don’t need cncourafi,untnl I“am not afraid to die.” Nuns Weep. Nurses and nuns wept when Peter did die. And moist were the cyes of his six chums who acted as pall- bearers. Rupert Weir, Paul Schoeppe, William Laux, Francis Krebs, Leo Coyne and Philip Weinert were boys with whom the little red-skinned lad always liked to play and they carried the white coffin that bore Peter from the hospital to the train. Father B. Sinne officiated at a req- uiem mass in St. Joseph hospital’s chapel before the boys carried the "Little Chief” away. All the patients who were physically able attended the services. Open the Store Each Day With Christmas Carols In keeping with the spirit of the season, Burgess-Nash open their store each morning with the singing of Christmas carols and anthems. A chorus of mixed voices has been gathered together from among the employes and sing from the balcony on the main floor every morning at 8:30 o’clock. “Christmas carols were an inven- tion of the early church to offset the joyous license of paganism,” said Louis C. Nash. “Song was an expres- sion of rejoicing among the Romans. Hence the making of pious canticles, simple in form, so that they might be sung by learned and ignorant. “Such is the origin of the custom, which still lmgers in certain parts of England, of ‘Waits’ going from house to house on Christmas eve and singing carols.” G. C. Bedford, Popular Implement Man, is Dead Grover Cleveland Bedford, popu- lar advertising manager for the In- ternational Harvester compary, died Thureday night at his residerce, 5132 Dodge street. Mr. Bedford was 27 years old and is survived by his wife and infant daughter, 2 weeks old; his mother and two brothers, George C. and W. H., of Council Bluffs, and threc sisters. The funeral will be held Saturday mo:ning from the residence to St. interment at Holy Sepulcher cem- etery.
