What Do You Think About the Antrewe Experience?
Dummy was a deaf and dumb indian boy, a general favorite with all who knew him. He came from the blackfoot reserve at glechen six years ago; he was an apprentice in this office for two years previous to last spring when he was troubled with tuberculosis in his right leg. The diseased member gradually grew worse, and two months ago, was amputated to prolong life. Shortly after the amputation, consumption developed, and the patient wasted away, dying last evening at about ten ten o'clock. Dummy was conscious up until within a few minutes of his death. The funeral takes place at four o'clock this afternoon.
