OLNEY, HENRY C.

DEATH OF PROMINENT MASON

Colonel Henry C. Olney of Sandpoint, grand principal sojourner of the Royal Arch Masons of Idaho, dropped dead in the Masonic hall at Boise at 3 o'clock Monday afternoon, while delivering an address at the opening meeting of the Grand Chapter. Colonel Olney was 74 years old.

Colonel Olney's death came as a dramatic break in the convocation of Royal Arch Masons. About 100 members of the order listened in breathless silence as the veteran Mason spoke of the warning that he had received before starting to Boise.

A Spokane physician had told him, he said, that he would get to Boise only by a miracle and that a second miracle would be performed if he left the city alive.

"But I believe in miracles," he said. "Already one miracle has been performed and I am ready to believe the second is possible."

A few minutes later, while telling of his early experiences in Idaho, Colonel Olney was stricken and being caught by friends as he fell, passed away a few minutes later without regaining consciousness.
