The Late we JARret.

The following eulogy of the late I'VE
J'Affret, who was murdered short time
ago on Orcas island by Lars Brown, has
been forwarded to US for publication:
On the island of Waldron, in San Juan
county, at lonesome point extending out
into the Canal de Haro, from which may
be seen by the American people the last
light of day as 1t passes over the western
horizon, at point which is washed by
the waters that mark the extreme north
west border of the United States, lie in
humble grave the remains of we J'Af-
fret. Mr.. J'Affret was born in Landivis>
lar. Finisterre, France, on the 14th day of
February, 1847; came to this country, the
home of his adoption, in the month OF
April, 1879, and on the night OF March
18th was murdered by an old hermit
called Lars Brown, whose slsnderous
tongue was ever at play about persons
who harmed him not, and who lavished st
will his trade of vituperation. and the
ever ready six shooter was his reliance as
shield Of defence. He has some friends,
it is true. as cancer has its integral parts,
with the venomous matter flowing from
the core. III tilt InOntu Vi idot Vic
deceased went to LacOnner on business,
and on returning home to his family was
clandestinely killed. He was cut down
in the vigorous days of his manhood, and
has lett void not easily filed. He was
pleasant and agreeable companion, and
never known to provoke quarrel, having
a great dread OF knives and pistols, or Of
inficting any serious injury. His life as a
mariner and fisherman was marked with
events. But his trials and vicissitudes are
over. He no longer perceiyes the wind
clouds as they form their stratas in the
azure sky, nor reefs the sail of his frail
bark to battle with the raging storm. All
the waters are now pacific. The scenes
of their disasters, amid agitations and
turbulent connections, have passed into
oblivion. The beautiful sun, in its tram
sient course over land of justice, gives a
passing glance, and fingers its gilded light
ON the place of his eternal rest. P.K.H.
To whom it may concern: We, the un-
dersigned, ci'izcns of Laconner, having
known we J'Affrrt (who was murdered
on Orcas Island by Brown for the past
ten years. would say that we always found
him to be quiet, honest. hard working
man. (SignedD, L. L. Andrews, B. l..
