Rozetta Larreau
Miss Rozetta Larreau Died of Bullet Wound
Brief mention was made in these columns last issue of the accidental wounding of Miss Rozetta Larreau, a young lady well known here. Saturday's Spokesman-Review announced that the wound resulted in her death. Miss Larreau formerly lived with the Wm. Baines family of this city and she and Miss Ethel Baines were classmates together in the nursing course at Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane, where her death occurred. The Spokane paper gives the following account of the young lady's death:
Accidentally shot with a gift revolver which was discharged when in her own hands, Miss Rosetta Larreau, a graduate nurse, is dying at the Sacred Heart hospital notwithstanding transfusions of blood given by classmates.
The accident happened Thursday afternoon at the residence of Z. A. Pfile, E 17 Eighth avenue, where Miss Larrreau resided. From what could be learned last night she was hurrying to meet another nurse to go down town. She picked up the revolver and ran a cloth over it to clean it when it exploded. Miss Larreau then ran screaming into the hallway and told Miss Dodd, another nurse, that she was shot.
Dr. E. E. Jennings, who was called, hurried her to the hospital, where he and Dr. H. P. Marshall attempted to stop the flow of blood. An operation disclosed that the bullet entered the abdomen, passed through the liver and after glancing from a dorsal vertebra passed out at the side and went through an arm.
It was found Miss Larreau was bleeding to death from the injury to her liver and nurses volunteered to give blood to prolong her life. Miss Margaret Clark, a graduate nurse,
gave half a pint of blood. When Miss Larreau become feebler yesterday, a half pint of blood from Miss Tuschoff, another nurse, was transsfused. It was believed late lasts night that Miss Larreau could live but a few hours.
Nurses recalled last night that Miss Larreau had recently exhibited the pearl handled revolver to them. She was warned that a revolver was dangerous, but she explained that she had had experience with firearms and was not afraid of it.
Mrs. N. Hamilton, mother of Miss Larreau, who resides at Steilacoom, reached Spokane
Yesterday. A brother at Tacoma is on his way here.
Miss Larreau is 22 years old and was graduated from the Sacred Heart a year ago.

Joseph E. Leader
Joseph E. Leader, Early Okanogan Settler, is Dead
Joseph E. Leader, state and county pioneer, whose residence in Okanogan county dates back to 1891 died at the Oroville hospital at 4 o'clock Wednesday morning. Although in failing health for several years, Mr. Leader was able to conduct his business here until last month, when he went to Oroville for hospital care.
Coming to Okanogan county in 1891, J. E. Leader taught school in the Methow, and shortly after took up a homestead in Pleasant Valley. Leader Lake, the present reservoir of the Pleasant Valley Irrigation & Power Company, was part of the Leader homestead. Upon disposing of that property to permit its use for storing water, Mr. Leader took an irrigated tract under the irrigation project, which he retained for several years.
Later, about ten years ago, he became town clerk of Okanogan and then engaged in the haberdashery business, which he continued until his death.
J. E. Leader was born July 14th, 1859, and was therefore in his sixty-second year. His birth place was West Moncton, Ont., where his aged mother, Mrs. M. A. Leader, still lives. His only child, Bert Leader, lives in Pleasant Valley. Dr. Henry T. Leader, a brother, resides at Plattsville, Ont., and a sister, Mrs. Sarah E. Phillips, is a resident of Minnesota. Other sisters live in Michigan. Dr. A. H. Jensen, a Spokane dentist, is a nephew of the deceased by marriage.
In early life, Mr. Leader studied to become a physician, but did not complete a medical course. He attended a normal school at London, Ont., and later engaged in the life insurance business in Ontario.
At the age of 21, he migrated to California, and spent several years in California and New Mexico. While in the south he became intimately acquainted with Milton S. Storey, who died at Winthrop last September, and the two men were life long friends.
Storey and Leader came to Whatcom county and located at Sumas in 1888. Leader is said to have made and lost a small fortune at Sumas, where he was in the real estate business. Soon after coming to this state, he started the Nooksack Reporter at Nooksack, which was sold to J. Hannum Jones, one of the best known pioneer newspaper men of the state, now deceased.
Continuing their friendship, Storey and Leader came to Okanogan county together in the spring of 1891 and settled in the Methow. A year or so later Leader took up his residence in Pleasant Valley.
When he first came to this county Mr. Leader taught school in the Methow and later taught at various places in the county. He also served as county superintendent of schools when this county included territory now comprising Chelan and Ferry counties. He served the county at other time as deputy assessor, and was a candidate for auditor in 1910.
During his city residence Mr. Leader has always taken particular interest in the welfare of Okanogan and contributed his full share in time and money to civic affairs. In war work Mr. Leader was conspicuous for his upstanding Americanism, showing his patriotism in many ways. He was one of the first to serve as a Four Minute Man.
The funeral will be held this (Saturday) afternoon at the Yarwood undertaking parlors in this city at 1 o'clock. Deceased was a member of Wenatchee lodge of Elks and local brothers of that fraternity will act as pallbearers and have charge of the funeral arrangements.

James R. Lease
James R. Lease Is Victim of Accidental Shooting Saturday
While carrying a shotgun on a mowing machine, James R. Lease of the Upper Pine creek district, accidently discharged the gun and was killed Saturday afternoon. Lease was 26 years of age, and leaves a widow and three children, the youngest born a month ago. He is survived by three brothers and four sisters who reside in different parts of Eastern Washington, and his mother who lives in North Dakota.
Lease had the gun for the purpose of shooting ground hogs as he saw them during his work. According to his brother, C. A. Lease, he had shot before during the day, once a half hour before the fatal shot. C. A. Lease heard a cry and hurried to his brother, and found that the charge of the gun had struck him in the side, and evidently had severed arteries. The young man died in twenty minutes. His only statement of the occurrence was that the gun slipped.
The Lease ranch is located in the North Pine Creek section, about three miles above the Pat Miller school house.
Undertaker Ed. Yarwood of Okanogan was called to prepare the body for burial, and funeral services were held from the home Sunday after noon. The services were conducted by Rev. Graham of Riverside and burial was in the Riverside cemetery.

William Leitritc
Young William Leitritc Meets Untimely Death
William Leitritc, a young man 22 years of age, met death by drowning in the log pond at Capt. Chas. Bureau's sawmill on Little Loop Loop creek Monday evening last. The lad in company with a number of other boys was jumping about on the logs for amusement when he missed his footing and fell into the water. His efforts to extricate himself from the predicament were baffled by the logs on the surface and after a brief struggle he sank to the bottom in about 14 feet of water.
Charles Leitritc, father of the boy, and a number of the mill crew were within a stone's throw of the accident and responded promptly to the cries for help set up by the unfortunate lad's companions, but their efforts were of no avail as the boy had been under the water several minutes before they arrived. An effort was made to secure the body at once but it was necessary to open the gates of the dam and allow the water to run from the pond before the body could be located.
Undertakers Armstrong & McCampbell were summoned and brought the body to town Tuesday morning. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 at the undertaking parlors, Rev. Fred J. Hart officiating. Interment was made in the Okanogan cemetery.
Charles Leitritc, father of the drowned boy, is comparatively a new arrival here. He came to Okanogan this spring from near Spokane and purchased the Fred Heilenburg ranch and was joined by his son two weeks ago. Mrs. Leitritc, four sons and three daughters are living near Spokane and are expected to join Mr. Leitritc some time in the future.
The unfortunate occurrence was made doubly sad by the necessary absence of so many of the young man's close relatives, and happening also in practically a strange community. However, the people of the town and from the mill community showed their sympathy for the bereaved parent by attending the funeral, furnishing music, flowers, etc., and Mr. Leitritc desires to express through these columns his deep appreciated of the many courtesies extended.

Mr. Luther had been in poor health all winter, never having fully recovered from an attack of pneumonia, and has been constantly under the doctor's care. Last Sunday, accompanied by his son Archie, he drove to Twisp to consult with his physician. On their return he was suddenly stricken with heart failure. He was taken into the home of Ples Rader, whose ranch they were passing, but death resulted almost instantly. He was immediately brought to Winthrop to the home of Dan Robbins, his brother-in-law. The funeral services were conducted from the Methodist Church, Tuesday, by Rev. Taylor. The casket was covered with floral offerings by the school children, C. F. Thorp, Thos. Wills, Mrs. Decker and Mrs. Storey. The body was laid to rest in the beautiful Winthrop Cemetery.
Asaph Colgrave Luther was born in Rhode Island, August 4, 1861, where he spent his youth, moving west in the early 80's. He was united in marriage at Spokane in 1895 to Miss Louisa Smith, to which three children were born: Archie, Sarah Gladys and Mary. In 1907 he and his family moved from Lake View, Idaho, to near Winthrop and purchased the relinquishment of Thos. Wills' homestead, on which he resided until his death. He was a kind husband and father, a good neighbor and made friends wherever he went. By his death the community loses one of its best citizens. He will be missed not alone at home but by a large circle of acquaintances.
