The body of Leon Holman, son of Delbert Holman arrived here last Friday noon from Lewiston, Mont., where the young man met his death. Mr. Holman was returning to his rooming house and on entering the stairway was accosted by two strange men, who told him to throw up his hands. He resisted and was shot by one of the strangers. His roommate, hearing the shot, arrived on the scene almost immediately. The robbers fled without securing over $500 which the dead man carried in his clothing.
The body was removed to his father's home on arrival here and funeral services were conducted at the house Sunday afternoon, with Rev. Maxfield officiating.
A brother, Chas. Holman, also of Montana, accompanied the remains to Clay City.
The body was laid to rest in the I. O. O. F. cemetery.
