younger friends, assembled again at the
old spot beneath the same tree, mark
being discovered in one of the trees
which had been cut at the time of their
last gathering. The gray-haired veter-
ans of the days gone by, and the little
tots, future citizens of sunland, enjoyed

known to all the frequenters of this re-
sort in the good old days gone by, died
in Denver on the 10Th instant. Mr..

respects, had remarkable history.
During his residence in New York he
was admitted to the inner circles Of the
best society, and there met the wealthy
widow of Zoab Lawrence, of Salt Lake
City, the acquaintance ripening into
marriage on the 10th of May, 1889. On
the 9TH of March Of the following year
his bride died, leaving an estate valued at
one million dollars. When her will
was offered for probate Mr.. McKibbin
found she had entirely ignored him, the
