DIR. Dirnnick,

The funeral of Dr. l.. n. Dmmick, of SAINTS
Barbara, took place June LIST, from the Baptist
church, of that city. The church was crowd
cd and many were unable to obtain admission
The church was most beautifully decorated
and the casket was literally buried in flowers
Rev. DIR. Nisbet made the address. The flag
on the city hall, at half mast, denoted, says
the Independent, "the great loss which the
community has sustained" The following
testimonial to the Doctors memory, by the
Independent, will be interesting to his many
old friends yet remaining in this city, where
he lived many years ago:
By the death Of DR.. Dimmick our communi
ty has sustained greater loss than can be
understood by those who were not intimately
acquainted with him. His great worth, his
sterling qualities, his earnest, sympathetic
nature and his unusual scientific attainments
were so yelled under his unobtrusive retire.
ment and modesty that those only who sought
him out knew how large and generous was
his character, and to what extent his efforts
and desires extended for the benefit Of those
among whom he resided | think may safe
~ say that ! never spent an hour with him
without making the reflection, "here is man
who lives and feels for Others"
He seemed ever on the alert to plan and
carry out something beneficial for our com.
munity, his adopted home.
AT one time it would be the identifying our
streets and plazas with tasteful planting of
trees and shrubbery At another time his
valuable attention would be earnestly given
to sanitary measures for the city Again he
would devote his time, knowledge and refec
ton to building up our public library.
His climatic observations and reports have
been the reliable basis for published informa.
tion distributed abroad for the benefit of in
vallds and others.
Having protited himself from the climatic
condition of Santa Barbara, he earnestly
sought to make known its advantages to other
sufferers On this he seemed indefatigable,
and although confined to his home by weak. |
ness for so many years, the amount of work |
to the end that he performed was enormous. |
His quiet manner will be remembered by |
scores OF visitors who have enjoyed the priyi |
lege OF his conversation and advice relative to |
coming here for settlements for even when
suffering under pain and disease he seemed to |
forget his own troubles in his desire to serve
others. Indeed the main spring of his char
acter seemed to be to think, to plan and to do
for Others. "When comes such another?'
Had my wish, would have erected to his
memory such monument as he would have
desired, viz: Something emnently useful and
beneficial to others. Can it not be done?

Cases Of mistaken identity and absent
mindedness frequently occur, but seldom are
they more amazing or more happily settled
than the one that took place near the FREE
TRADER office yesterday morning. A farmer
(name omtted) drove up in front of a grocery
store and hitched his team and went away to
do some trading. Soon after one of the boys
of the store had occasion to tie the team in
another place a few feet distant to facilitate
loading the grocer's wagon. This done it was
driven away, and farmer No. 2, a stranger to
No. l, drove up and tied his team where No.
Is was first tied, and went into the store
There was some slight resemblance between
the two, and the buggies were much alike
In few minutes No. came back, united
his (O horses and proceeded to drive away
No, 2 thought some one was taking undue
liberty with his team and rushed out like
mad, demanding, "What are you doing with
my tcam?n &c. No. | was aghast, looked at
the man, at the team he was driving, and then
at his own team that stood tied within 20 feet
of him. Words failed him, and when he
how near he had been taken
for horsethief the misery depicted on his
face was very comcal The bystanders
roared with laughter. Finally No. | STAN
mercd out his explanation Of how he left his
team, was thinking Of other matters when he
drove off, and-well the whole affair was
passed as one of those funny jokes man will
play upon himself sometimes.
