RICHARD THORN, of Three Mile Creek,
! Bishop George t'acer. of Willard, and
w. S Hanson. city, have each appeared
before United States Commissioner
In Ogden, and answered to complaints
| for unlawful cohabitation. Our local
Commissioner will soon open his eyes
to the fact that he is not very popular
hereabouts, or three pleaders in as
many days would not perform a jour
ner of twenty miles to get away from
| him. The ordeal is humiliating at best,
but doubly so when the victims are
compelled to face an official for whom
they have not the least respect. We
hope this practice will continue, IN
til a change is wrought, and some
official pins are knocked from under.
1t was subsequently learned that there
was no indictment out for Bish- p Facer.
WILLIAM THORN, aged 81, died at
Three Mile Creek on Saturday, SepJem-
, or 29th. He is another to add to the
long list of those who have succumbed
Richard Thorn, was delayed in Mon
tana, and as consequence the obse-
quies were postponed until Tuesday.
1t was perhaps the largest funeral the
settlement has ever seen; nearly every
conveyance in the place was in line, be-
sides many vehicles from town. Outside
the building congregation of mourn.
ers had assembled. Expressions of
sorrow came not from near relatives
alone, but from all parts of the en-
closure tears flowed freely and lamen-
tations were heard. So universal was
this feeling that the speakers partook
more or less of it, and some of them
were overcome almost beyond the power
of utterancrs. The remains were in
uttered in the City Cemetery. and
Three Mile Creek after the procession
started was veritable deserted village.
William Thorn, Or Willie, as he was
more Familiarity called. was one of the
model young men of the ward. an officer
of the Y. NJ. M. l. A. and a teacher in
the Sabbath school; temperate, virtu
GUS, affectionate and sociable; amiable
in disposition and possessed of that
sterling integrity that made of him a
recogni- ed leader among his associates.
Long will his memory dwell in the
hearts of his colleagues.
