Charley Peck, of the Willowdale, made
a flying trip from Butte City to the ranch,

Methodist church, Presiding ElderNan ors-
del officiating. He spoke feelingly OF his
departed friend and recounted his trials,
numerous deeds Of charity aud his exem-
plary life, every word touching responsive
chord in his audience. Rev. W~adsworth
made a few appropriate and feeling remarks
after which Miss Mettler sweetly sang,

The remains were then borne to their final
resting place. The casket WAS appropri-
ately covered with flowers, those emblems
OF purity which the deceased found a pleas
ant pastime in eultivating.
The deceased was born in Nottingha III
shire, England, in 1884. and was left an
