DOWN the stream considerable dis
lance and at last caught hold of a
projecting log and held on until res
cued by her friends from her perilous
condition. Among the valuab.es lost
was gold watch and some money.
Those people say they could not stay
10 Long valley for the reason that the
Long valleyites would not permit
them to take in dairy cows which they
could lease from parties who do not
i've in Long valley, and there was no
other visible means by which thew
could earn living there. In looking
around for locations they found set
tiers claiming from three to six hun
dred acres each, on unsurveyed land.

Commemorative service.
QUARrzBuRG, June 13, lSe


ED. WoRLD:-Last Sunday, being
on my usual ministerial trip across
the Basin, | witnessed a most i'm
pressive ceremony in St. Patrick S
church, Granite creek, participated in
by large concourse of people. The
Rev. Father Heudrickx had previous
lv announced that he would hold a
commemoration service of Dennis
Cronin, who unfortunately perished
by the caving of the bank in the
Ranch mine. The church was hand
somely decorated, catafalque being
erected with appropriate draperies OF
mourning. The Rev. Pastor gave a
most scholarly, forclble sermon on
the text from Job, z. VII. ' Behold
shall sleep now in the dust, and
when you shall seek me tomorrow
shall not be here" He proved witt
unanswerable arguments the exist
ence of a future life and that oul
great consolation lies in the hope Il
see our dear relatives and friends
again in better world than this
There was large appreciative audi
ence and the whole ceremony made
deep impression upon all, most o
them being moved to tears when tn
real Christian virtues of the deceased
were referred to.
Sincerely Yours,

BURIED SITTING IN A CHAIE-Hezekiah
Shepherd, the esteemed but eccentric old gen.
tleman who lived at Drakeville a., has had
his wishes carried out by being buried in a
coffin in the shape of chair. For the past
10 years Mr.. Shepherd had been Unable to
rest except by sitting in an easy chair, and in
that position he proposed to die. His friends
endeavored to dissuade him from his eccen-
trio notion. but he ordered cabinet-maker to
construct the curious casket, which was fin
ished before his death. 1t was substantially
built of white oak with walnut trimmings.
He left instructions to have his body placed
in this cssket in sitting posture, the wrists
strapped to the arms of the casket, the limbs
to its legs and the head and neck to the hack.
a glass panel was placed in front to expose
the face of the dead man. All these instruc-
lions were carried out, and the coffin placed
in huge boz in an upright position. The
eha:r-coffin was kept on exhibition in the
room of the deceased for six months previous
to his death, and he took special satisfaction
in displaying it to his friends. He was 80
years of age, was wealthy, farmer and was
loved and honored by allin Davis county. He
is probably the only man who will be sitting
up when Gabriel blows his trumpet.

AN IMPARTIAL investigation of the
case and the statements of some of the
most prominent labor leaders make
plain the fact that the popular belief
that most of the violence manifested
during the late labor troubles In this
country was due 10 the foreign element
of its population, is utterly without
foundation, and that in almost every
instance native Americans have been
the offenders. Not two per cent. OF the
Tennessee rioters were foreign born,
and ninety per cent. of the people at
Homestead are native Americans. Yes,
the blame is upon people born and
raised in this country, and the attempt
to put it upon those who have come
here to earn a living is by no means
creditablc.

OUT OF A DUNGEON OF DEATH.-The
mining horror near Bridgend, Wales.
by which an explosion of gas buried
LIS miners, Al of whom were rescued
alive nearly two days later, will prob
ably admit no further ray of hope that
single man yet lives in the deep and
gaseous recesses of the Parkslip col
liery.
Some of the rescued miners thrilling
" describe their struggles in the dark
to escape the coal fall. They kept
moving from place to place along the
levels to get away from the falling
masses. At times, some Of them, half
choked by the noxious vapors, would
fall helpless. Their stronger comrades
partly lifted them and dragged them to
safer spots. Here they would rest for
awhile until the weaker men were
able to stagger along toward the shaft.
Now and again they would stumble
over the body of some unfortunate to
whom death had come without warn
ing but their own plight was too dcs-
perate for them to attempt to save any
of the bodies. They believed their
only hope of escape was to reach the
shaft, and, staggering, ofttimes crawl
ing, over huge masses of coal. rock
and earth, they pursued their toilsome
journey
When the explosion occurred it ex-
tinguished all the miners lamps save
two. The scanty supply of oil in these
soon burned out, and the men were in
utter darkness. They had gone only n
comparatively short distance when
they found their way blocked, the
whole of that part of the level being
filled up. Again and again they tried
to force their way through, hut N their
enfeebled state they soon found the
task hopeless.
They gathered together and discussed
their chances ofrescue, which all agreed
were small AS time passed and the
roar of the fire behind the barrier was
heard the men despaired of ever again
seeing daylight.
They gave up all hope of rescue, and
lying and sitting down they awaited
the coming of the death they believed
to be inevitable. Eventually CLEAN
of light was seen, and through the tun-
mel crawled man, and those who for
such long time had been staring
death in the face knew that they were
saved
