News comes to us from a paper at Kalispell, Mont., of the death of Egbert A. Shew, due to an auto accident two weeks ago. He was a half brother of Mrs. Emory Pratt of this city, and was born here in Waukon, June 28, 1876, says the Democrat. His parents were Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Shew, who at one time were the stewards of the county farm. His auto was struck by a train on the Great Northern road at Kalispell.

Mr. Shew was prominent in the lumber business in Minnesota and Montana and in British Columbia, Canada. His burial took place at Kalispell under Masonic auspices. He was a member of the Shrine of Minneapolis and also of the Elks order.
