The funeral occurred from the Catholic
church Sunday afternoon, and the re-
mains were followed TO the cemetery by
large concourse Of sympathizing friends.
Mr.. Lawler came to Yakima from Scott
county, MIMI, something over two years
ago, and made himself and family COM
portable home. BY his neighborly man
ner he soon won the friendship Of all
those with whom he came In contact.
Through his charitsbly inclined disposi-
ton, assisted by that of his helpmate,
who survives him, three orphans raised
by him, and who remain to bless him as
a second father, owe their early training
and present high standing In the COM
munity. The widow, and family, tender
their heartfelt gratitude for the kindly
offices Of the many friends who assisted
in their hour OF bereavement in tighten
ing the burden upon their sorrowing
hearts.

eddy add much to the interest Of Masonic
work, it being an order closely connected
with Masonry.
Mrs. Erickson, the widow of the man
drowned near Ellensburg year ago, was
q visitor in Yakima this week. From the
description furnished by the coroner she
had thought that the body of an I'M
known buried two weeks ago was that
OF her husband, and she came down to
ascertain. Under her directions the re-
mains OF the last drowned man were ex.
humed and careful examination made
Of the body and what clothing it had
upon it; but it was found to be not that
Of her husband. She has offered re.
ward Of $500 for the recovery of his re.
mains, but seems to have little hope of
securing them.

Attention should be given to the grea,
ravages made by forest fires in the upper
Ahtanum and around Soda Springs. All
over Washington these fires are creating
sad havoc, and here in Yakima we have
less timber to lose than have other coun.
ties. Small boys maliciously ignite in
significant fires, and the spread Of the
flames may become disastrous. The mat
ter should be looked to before 1t is too
late. d. E. Lesh recently inveighed
| against this wholesale slaughter of our
timber in an interview in the Tacoma
Ledger, and the initiative thus taken
should be followed up.
