EVANSTON, Wyo., March 24.-Walter
Miller, the last of the victims of the coal
mine disaster at Red Canyon on the Goth,
was found last night. The sixty-one who
met their death on the same day were laid
to rest to-day with most impressive cere-
monies. There were thirty-two buried
from the Mormon church alone where the
services were conducted by Bishop Bowers
of Almy. assisted by Bishop Brown of
Evanston and eminent dignitaries of the
Mormon church from Salt Lake, including
Franklin d. Richards, church historian,
John Henry Smith, one Of the twelve apos-
ties, and Seymour B. Young and Edward
Stephenson, TWO of the seven presidents.
Bishop Cuff of Coalville also assisted.
The church is the largest in sUintah
County, but was insufficient to accommo-
date one-third of the people who attended.
It was attempted to take the coffined
bodies of the dead into the church, but
after thirteen were carried in it was found
that all of them would occupy so much
space that there would not be enough
room to seat the mourners, and the bodies
were moved out again and arranged in
rows at the side of the church.
Such scene has rarely been witnessed
anywhere and it required the utmost eff
forts of Bishop Cuff ana Apostle Smith to
hush by words of comfort and consolation
the sobs of widows, mothers and children
so that the exercises might proceed. All
these were buried at the Mormon cemetery
at Red Canyon.
The Fins were buried from their own
chapel in their own burying ground.
The Rev. Leppert conducted the services
for those of the Methodist faith, the Rev.
Father Fitzgerald of the Evanston Catholic
Church for those of his faith, while the
Rev. F. E. Beggs of the Evanston Metho-
dist Church, preached the funeral sermon
at the Opera-house over the remains of O..
Maltby, who was buried with Masonic
honors.
Fred Morgan was buried by the A. o. q.
W., of which order he and Mr.. Maltby
were members, carrying $1,000 insurance,
the only two insured out of the whole
sixty-one.
