prietor of this paper, took place from
Masonic Hall day before yesterday
and vas we'll attended. Being con-
Quoted under the auspices OF Silver
Star Lodge, F. and A. NJ, Of which
Mr.. Lynch was a member, tho appro-
pirate service Of the Order took place
before IL o'clock A. NJ, the time ap-
pointed for the funeral, when the doors
we're thrown open and the Episcopal
services. conducted by Rev. BISHOP
Whitaker, took place, the hall being
denseiy crowded with the friends and
aco%uaintances of deceased. Many Me-
sons were also present from Virginia,
Silver City, and Dayton. Inc address
by Bishop Whitaker was one OF the
most impressive character, and when
the children Of st. Johns Sabbath
School sang "'The Beautiful River
the same which wassang at the funeral
of the lamented Mr.. Ball, the scene
was very affecting and there was
scarcely a dry eye among the audience.
This sweet little hymn was sung In &C.
cordance with the dying request OF Mr.!
Lynch. After an appropriate prayer
by Bishop Whitaker, the beautiful
farewell services Of the Masons,
peculiar to the occasion, occupied q
few minutes, when the funeral process
sion. was formed. the Masons filing out
from the Hall and forming on each
side Of Main street, In front Of the
NEWS office, while the hearse and long
procession of carriages passed along
up. Owing to the very muddy con-
ditIon Of the streets, the brethren
Of the Masonic Order here took
leave of their deceased brother. The
procession passed through Virginia to
the Geiger grade, where, opposite the
Sierra Nevada works, the procession
turned back, and the hearse bearing
the remains proceeded to Steamboat
Springs and the railroad, followed by
the travelling carriage, occupied by
Mrs. Lynch, with Mr.. and Mrs. Club

JAPANESE Gun. Joe Nelson, the

the pivot gun, and is some six or seven
Inches in length, mounted In Ameri-
can style ready for action, even point
ed toward n little target, although
capable of being turned on its pivot In
any direction or fired of ut the moon

limitations 1t Is quite unique and inter-
estlng, for it Is very similar to tho
American pivot gun.
