Laying the Corner Stone for a School

PRINCETON, Mont, Jan. 16.--An event
of some significance Ito the Boulder dis
trict more particularly to Princeton pre-
cinct, transpired here few days ago. It
was the laying of the corner stone of the
first public building in our midst-that

pageant lent it's glamour to the occasion;
no oratory appealed to the surrounding.

echo; the proceedings connected with
the occasion were simplicity itself, be
coming the stern republican character Of
the community for whose benefit and by
whose aid the structure is being reared.
Still the proceedings were impressive in
one sense at least, because the two school
trustees and the two spectators who as
sisted them were deeply impressed with
the importance of the undertaking for the
coming generation. The structure is to
be OF logs, "chinked" and :'daubea" in

to rest upon a masonry foundation of

makeup, to the irresistibly encroachinw

the vicinity of the ROYAL gold mine,

All indications point to the continued

have to divide the attention heretofore
bestowed upou 1t by another gold pro-

years
Only a few hours after the death Of
Thomas Strang, came the announcement
that w. +. Stanley was no more, and
Sunday was indeed a day Of sorrowing in
our little city. Within Il few blocks Of
each other lay the remains Of two Of our
oldest and best known citizens: both had
lived i'll Deer Lodge county for more than
a quarter of Il century; both were widely
knoWna as generous and kind hearted men.
Mr.. Stanley, few months ago, through
Ver-eXerton. brought on an attack Of
heart trouble, with indigestion. from
which he never recovered, though he re-
sumed his duties as deputy district clerk
and remained at his desk until about a
week before his DEATH when he was
compelled TO give up work, He grad
ually grew worse from day to day until
the end came.
At the request Of Dir. Cranson, the at
tending physician, Dir. Minshall, in the
presence OF Drs. Mitchell, Douglas,
owings and 1ranson, made an autopsy
OF Mr. Stanley, and they agreed that
death WAS caused by clots Of blood in
Il right cavity ofthe heart. These had
formed during the several fainting attacks
he has suffered during the last few
months.
w. F. Stanley was born i'll Baltimore,
Md, and came to Montana in 1866,
settling at Helena, where he remained
for some time in the employ Of Fl. NJ.
Parchen, the we'll known druggist Of that
| city. At different times he was in the
drug business at Bear, Butte and Deer
Lodge, and in 1856 was county clerk
and recorder Of Deer Lodge county. He
was also for a time clerk of the Second
judicial district of Montana, which EN-
braced the counties of Deer Lodge, Sill
Yer Bow and NIissoula, under Judge Wm
] I. GulbraitlA.
Mr. Stanley was married in st. James
church. Deer Lodge, March 8, 1885, to
Miss Flora Farnsworth, who, with her
two little daughters, are left to mourn
the loss of a kind-hearted, loving husband
and father. On "Wednesday afternoon
