Browning--The death of Collins Anderson has caused deep grief here among those that had the pleasure of knowing him. He took the prevailing grippe which developed in pneumonia. He died in the Conrad hospital after being there only two days. He went there himself, saying he was not feeling very well, and would not believe the doctor when told he could not recover. Collins was a powerful, husky man, and like many others who have never been sick, he thought he could work off the attack. Mr. Anderson was Scotch on his father's side and inherited the strong traits of body and will characteristic of that hardy race. Like his fighting Highland forefathers he thought he must ignore sickness and fight off indications of bodily weakness. But those same bold Highlanders had to succumb to weakness and death.

Collins was a big-hearted soul. Your correspondent has frequently passed his way on a hunt, and always enjoyed his whole-hearted hospitality. Our sympathy goes out to his widow and children. He was a friend of everybody, and everybody was his friend.

The funeral services were held in the Presbyterian church. He was buried in the new public cemetery. Mr. Anderson had an allotment at Seville, which will likely return to the Government under a recent ruling. His family hold their place above Canyon creek, in plain view of Glacier Park hotel. We will always remember our big-hearted friend most kindly.
