has lost him, Tor last Thursday night, in
his absence. she packed up every stick of
furniture and personal belongings in their
house and with them and her child disap-

mourn his loss.

wrestling came all together. He works at
the Oakland Iron Works. On Thursday
noon he went nome for dinner and every
thing was lovely. At night he went home
