AN LIFE.

AN ENENTFCL LIFE.
The deceased lady who was 81 years OF
age, was married te Chastine Humphrey at
PALMYRA, Mo-, December IL, 1851. Early
in the spring of "a they concluded to seek
the new Eldorado. and started across the
plains, reaching Dutch Flat, Cal, August
9Th OF that year. They remained there for
some time ana then removed to Nevada
City where they resided for II years. Just
prlor to the end of their residence in that
city the diphtheria broke out in a malig-
nant form and among its victims were four
OF the five children who composed the
family of Mr.. and Mrs. Humphrey. This
naturally disheartened them with the
locality and he started for a new and
better country making Montana his OBJ
~jectIve point. Alter a short residence IN
this section Mr.. II. became satisfied that
he had found a land that was suitable and
soon after sent for his wife and surviving
child, they arriving at Virginia City July 6,
1867. They came by Wells, Farg" Express
and were billed at 20 cents per pound. A
day or two later they arrived by pOney ex-
press in Butte, and since that time the lady
has remained here. Many Of the oli-timers
speak OF the kindness shown them i'll the
old days when the miniStrutiUnS OF woman
we're scarce, and among tn. Sc h followed
the remains to the narrow confines OF the
grave were several who had personal recol-
~IectiOns of the assistance rcmdered them in
their times OF sickness and trouble, and
they, and all who knew her unite in the be
lief that AFTER lies titful fever she sleeps

A WELL FOUNDED COMPLAINT.
Several OF the parties who attended the
funeral complain to The MINER OF a ser
ious breach OF decency on the part OF some
OF the employees OF the railroad
which occurred at tine switch near the re-
duCtiOn works, White the COrtcgo WIS cross
lug the track. In most OF CIVILIZED com
munities no one will attempt to pass
through a funeral procession. II many
places the ordinance prohibits it, and in
others it Is an unwritt2n law, that is re-
lIgiOusiv observed. In careless, happy
France, i'll TACT in its LAY capital, tnr p-itS-
trians who hnppentr NE on the street WHEN
IA funeral is passing, halt, and Uncover
their heads until IT," hast Carriage has
passed them. Here il j. different. Accord

the funeral was crpssingtheruad cn routeto

EsCANABA, Mich, Dec. 26.-The
Mirror gives the details of a horrible
affair just made public. DR.. W. w.
Mulliken has been practicing medicine
here for many years. 1t transpires that
during nearly all that time he has
been debauching children, many of
them as young as ten years.
Several times the fact of his infamy was
made known to the parents of his victims
but they often threatened the wretch,
and would let the matter drop to prevent
scandal. Last February two little
school children quarrelled, and one ac-
cused theOther of frequenting DR.. Null
liken IS office for immoral purposes. An
attempt was made to use this against
Mulliken, but tangible evidence could
not be procured. In June last similar
experience was had, but since Thanks
giving Day the fences in the vicinity of Dr.
Mulliken 5 office contained Il number of
serious charges against the physician and
the people awakened to the fact that
something must be done. An investiga-
ton was set on foot and the evidence
against Mullfllen was of so pronounced a
character that the accused was arrested
and put under $1,000 bonds for a hearing.
He has disappeared and his bondsmen
will be called upon to settle. 1t is charged
that no less than forty children have suf-
fered from MuIliken s brutality.
