Officer Nelson made a very clever
arrest on Sunday evening. A man
who gives the name of j j. Bliss
stole an overcoat ON Friday the 21st
from the Pacific Hotel cloak room.
Neil in tracing up the thief discovered
that the robber had also gotten away
with large yalise belonging to A.
g. Bast a traveller in the employee of
Henry King & Co., Chicago, the prop
erty was very valuable and the recoy-
cry and arrest is very creditable to
the constable. The prisoner was tried
on the charge of stealing the overcoat
and Judge Fisher sentenced him to so
days confinement in the county jail.
We recorded one of the most sor-
rowful events that has occurred in our
midst last week, the death OF w. p.
Robertson, this issue presents case
very similar in some respects, Mrs.
w. F. Evans has passed away to the
home OF the departed, after a very
brief sickness; the disease to which
the amiable young wife and mother
succumbed was child birth. The Young
couple had not been married quite
year when the sad event occurred; they
had to all appearance q very happy
and prosperous future in store for
them. We know of no one more re-
spected and esteemed than Mr.. and
Mrs. Evans; they possessed many adj
mirable traits and won friends with
out any effort; to know them was to
respect each for the excellence of
their character ard life. 1t seems that
the fairest flowers in Natures garden
are the earliest plucked and so with
our absent neighbor; she was called
to her Fathers home as it appears to
us all too soon Never was their more
solicitude and care shown for sick
one in our memory than that evidence
for the dear one who has crossed the
river that separates the present from
the future; attention Of every descIp-
ton was layished upon her for which |
the family feel greatly indebted; the
ladies of Pocatello displayed that kind
and sisterly spirit that springs from
pure and loving hearts The death
occurred on Saturday 22nd at A D. m.
the X. of L. L. A. 1902 had charge
of the burial arrangements and the
family decided on Logan, Utah, as
the place of interment, about 25 friends
accompanied the family and remains
to the beautiful city of Cache Valley
and we doubt if evermore tenderness
and affection was eyinced on such a
solemn occasion, about 80 vehicles
followed the hearse to the meeting
house, where q very impressive burial
service was conducted, beautiful music,
fragrant flowers and earnest speaking
characterized the service and vast as
semblage marched BY the elegant
casket to take a last look upon the
silent form that once held one OF the
best spirit that charmed life and grac-
ed joyous home. In the handsome
