Curiously enough, the republican

1856, declared war on the twin relics
of barbarism, polygamy and slavery"
should, in 1895, on the admission to
statehood of what was the Mormon
territory, come into absolute political
control of the new state. The gov
ernor, state officers, legislature, sena-

A GOOD MAN GONE.
Death of John oumeriIh at Murray Last
Wednesday.


Wallace Idaho, Miner: The death of
John Coumerilh of Murray removes
from that place and from the Occur
d'Alenes one of the landmarks. Mr..
Coumerilh came to Murray in the early
days and has been closely identified
with the development of that camp. AS
lessee and part owner of the Golden
Chest mine he had to contend with
many of the difficulties that frequently
beset a. mining enterprise. and it was a
source of much satisfaction to his
friends as well as to Mr.. Coumerilh
himself that for several years past he
was able to obtain satisfactory returns
for his labors.
Mr.. Coumerilh was a quiet and I'M
pretentious man and highly respected
by all who knew him. He served two
terms as treasurer of this county. For
several years he had been an invalid,
for some time past being unable to give
active attention to his business.
The funeral took place at Murray
yesterday under the direction of the To-
cal Masonic lodge. A number of Ma
sons from Wallace attended.
