OSCAR BULLIS DIED OF TYPHOID FEVER

Son of James Ballis Died While Proving Up a Claim —Body to Be Returned for Burial. Oscar Bullis, 20 years of age and son of James Bullis, of Jordan township, died Tuesday morning near Thief River, Minn., where he lived with his two brothers, Ben and Arb, and his sister, Mrs. Louis Adams, and where all were proving up claims. Typhoid fever was the cause of death. The young man’s mother left for there Sunday, but to reach there required a trip of 25 miles by stage and it is presumed she did not get there until after death took place. The body will be returned to this county for burial and will probably arrive Thursday. Oscar went to Minnesota about a year ago. He was a worthy young man and his death will be sad news to his many friends in this county.
