'HARRY MCKEE
: DIES SUDDENLY
Harry M. McKee, attorney, was
ound dead shortly after two o’clock
; Monday afternoon, in his car at his
. home, “McKeesport” eight miles east
lof this ¢ity-on the. Tahoe Ukiah
Highway.
His body was -found by Darwin
Conover, assistant fire control ofof the Tahoe National Forest,
who called on business and saw MeKee’s body slumped over in the seat
of his car, as he-was passing on his
way to McKee’s house. Deputy Sheriff Carl Larsen and Coroner Alvah
Hooper investigated the death. Dr.
George A. Foster, county health officer, reported McKee had died of
natugal causes, presumably heart
disease. McKee had backed his car
out of the garage when he succumbed.
IMecKee had practiced law in Neficer
years of age a native of Iowa and
leaves his wife, Mrs. Isabel B. McKee and two sons, Harry M. of Santa Ana, Orange County and John B.
McKee of San Francisco.
The late attorney was very fond
of the out of doors. and ali wild
ereatures. He had practically domesticated a hérd of deer by feeding
them and providing them with salt
blocks. He was. deeply grieved when
one of his herd was missed during
the hunting season.
Harry MeKee was found often in
‘court and elsewhere, defending the
underdog. He was talented not only
as a lawyer -and publicist, but an
amateur painter. He wrote lucid
prose and at times reached. the
heights of inspiration. Here are two
examples of his writing:
HERE lies a fire soul killed by
cruel wrong.
Down all the troublous days of his
fresh youth
sank
There whére you see him lying now,
With the word “FAILURE”
written on hie brow.
But he died rich. He VISIONED a
better world,
From which was banished want and
fear and hate;
Where justice, truth and beauty
dauntless dwelt.
Nor prison bars, nor
persecution
Sufficed to force him into silence.
Nor did he wait till his theme had
become
The popular shibboleth of fawning
eourtier’s lips.
He smote and plead when justice
herself was dumb,
And all the light of truth was in
eclipse.
Nor heeded cunnnig bribes his
vision to betray,

California Lion .
Kill Totals 177 ee
SAIN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22—The
lion kill in California for:the year
1944 totaled 177, 27 more than in
1943, according to reports compiled
by J. S. Hunter chief of the bureau
of game conservation of the State
Division of Fish and Game.
The kill in the varfous counties
gives a good idea as to the part of the
state in which the lion population
is heaviest, Hunter’s figures reveal.
Since 1907 when the lion bounty
payment became effective; sixty two
per cent of the lions killed or 5856
were from ten counties. These counties. represent 23 per cent of the
area of the state, and thirty six per
cent of the deer country.
In the four counties of Humboldt,
Trinity, Mendocino and Lake, the
kill was thirty one per cent of the
total. These counties represent seven per cent of the area of the state,
and thirteen per cent of the deer
country. Lions are apparently abundant in the northwestern part of the
state than~-elsewhere. They are particularly scarce in the extreme eastern eection. Only five lions have
reported killed in Modoc County in
the past 39 years, three from Alpine
and Inyo County has accounted for
22. ;
The Army Service Forces shipped
2,600,000 passengers, largely troops
overseas in the last year, it ‘was

headquarters.
