BURKE FOUND DEAD
Andrew Burke Found Dead Near Brownsville Yesterday –-
Cause Yet Unknown –
The Information Very Meager
Born on Belle Fourche Townsite 48 Years Ago –
Mother Sioux Indian Woman, Father Plainsman, Scout and Trapper
Dick Andrews received a telegram from Walter Simpson (Tex) from Roubaix yesterday afternoon to the effect that Andrew Burke, of Lead, had been found dead over near Brownsville. The coroner was at once notified and left this morning for the scene, as did also S.R. Smith, with an undertaking wagon.
Burke was known among his acquaintances in Lead as “Bart” and while he has been in Lead off and on for a number of years but little is known of him. For a member of months past he has been employed by Cotton & Andrews in driving their delivery wagon and as swamper at the Buffalo Hump saloon.
He left on Saturday morning to spend a month or so in looking after some valuable mining claims he owns near Brownsville with the intention of taking up quarters at the cabin of Walter Simpson and Joe Drain, on the Addie mining property, owned by Russ Halley and others. The telegram stated that he was found dead, and up to the present time nothing more definite has been learned.
Burke was a man about 48 years of age and has resided in Lead off and on for a good many years. He was a painter by trade and painted the steel viaduct of the Homestake company, which spans the gulch, under sub-contract. During the execution of this work he became poisoned, and his eyes were effected, and as a consequence he has not followed the arts of painting since.
His father, who is still living, and is a resident of Pittsburg, Pa., was an old plainsman, trapper and government scout. He was married to a Sioux Indian woman, and his deceased son was born on the present townsite of Belle Fourche some forty eight years ago.
Andrew Burke leaves a wife and two children, boy and girl, living at Atlantic City, N.J., who he has been continuously sending money and letters found by Dick Andrews show great affection. He was a kind-hearted, hardworking man, ever ready to do a good turn. He attended closely to his own affairs, and guarded his past career very closely. He had spent years as a seaman and was also in the United States navy.
His folks have been telegraphed and answer is being awaited. The remains will be brought in from Brownsville this evening.
