MEMORIAL DAY.

This day has become sacred to the
American people. In every city and
hamlet some recognition will be given
to those, living and lead who. inspired
by patriotism, offered their lives on the
altar of their country. With poetry,
oratory, song and flowers their leeds of
valor will be recounted and their sacri-
fees extolled. The interest does not
waver with the passing years. AS the
ranks of the veterans become deci-
mated and familiar faces and beloved
comrades disappear, II new devotion is
enkindled in the hearts of those left be-
hind and with those who enjoy the
blessings and liberty of a restored union
and a free country.
Millions who wore the blue in the
civil wal have lived to see the justice
of their cause acknowledged by the
| soldiery which confronted them-the
exceptions, if any, are those who never
tested their valor in the conflict.
Among the former there is nc bitter
ness in the heart, the graves of those
who wore both the blue and the gray
will be decorated alike wherever
found.
1t is sad to think that but few OF
those high in rank are left to partici.
pate in the exercises of Memorial day,
What IL list OF departed heroes: Grant

be left entirely to the IONS and daugh'
tiers of veterans who have passed away
but there is little danger of the custom
dying with their fathers. While the
day may partake less of sadness, the
fires of patriotism are inextinguishablt
and love will direct the hearts anC
hands.

DEATH BY AN ELECTRIC WIRE.
Great Falls, Killed by a Shock from
In Incandescent Light.

The Tribune of the 22nd inst. con-
tains the following:
On Sunday evening about z O'Clock,
Ed Lewis of Fort Benton, who had II
brought "A bottle OF liniment to the
stable which he desired James b.
Culley, one OF the proprietors, to use
on the leg OF the horse. The horse
was in a side shed on the east side of
the main stable, and it was lighted by
one 16 C. p. i~ncandescent light. Ed
Lewis proposed taking the horse in
the yard, but Mr.. Cnlley said they had
plenty Of light and with the liniment
bottle he walked up to the electric
light and with his right hand took
hold of the button. In an instant he
dropped the medicine. crying out, "My
God, my arm is gone," at the same
time falling over on his right side in
sensible. Assistance was summoned
and he a carried into the main
stable, but he was dead before they
reached the door, having only given
one choking gasp after being lifted up.
Drs. Ladd and Sweat were sum
moned, hut the unfortunate man was
beyond human help and his body was
taken to Powers undertaking rooms.
The cause of the electric disturbance
WAS no doubt owing to the electric
storm, as the fuses in the Realty
block, Axtell stables and Mr.. Sanford's
residence were all burnt out in the
electric lights. There must have been
a great concentration of energy at the
Great Falls stables, for at 2 a. m. yes
terday VIM. Rose, an employee, at
tempted to turn the switch to light
up the stable and received a shock
which knocked him down and burnt
his hand badly.
James b. Gully was 4S years of age
and came to Montana in 1875, stayed
mere two years and returned home to
settle up his affairs, and in 1878 came
out again, Mr.. t. Lee following him,
and since that time has resided in the |
vicinity of Great Falls. He was a
single man and his home was in Bur
gettssown, Washington county, Pa,
where his father and mother and eight
sisters and brothers still reside. Mr..
Gully was well known over this sec
ton and was universally respected for
integrity and honesty.
The remains were shipped east for
burial.
