came too late for publication. We dc
not hesitate to say, however, that it i;

bracing as it does, the most interesting
entertaining and instructive features
that could be chosen for an occasion OF
this character. Prominent lecturers on
popular subjects. political questions

among the leading features, and the
high order Of talent secured in connec.

pia1I at 4:30 a. m. on Sunday last, after
a lingering and prolonged struggle
against that most dreaded disease, con-
sumption, which, despite the consum
mate skill of his physicians, the kind
and loving care of friends and every
thing that could possibly be done to ar
rest its course, finally severed the thread
of life, and stilled a heart as noble and
true rs ever beat within a human breast.
Deceased was in his cd year, and had
been a resident of the Hills since 1876.
He held many official positions of trust,
| all of which he filled with credit to him.
self and satisfaction to the people. Re-
ferring to the personal character Of the
deceased, the Deadwood Times very
truly says:
General Dawson was a warm and gen.
erous hearted man, always the same,
kind and courteous, and had a SYM
pathetic word for everyone in trouble,
and was friendly alike 10 the rich or
poor, the mighty or the lowly. He was
a man who made and retained friends,
and his friends here were legion. Like
everybody, he had his peculiarities and
strong characteristics. He was a man
of strong likes and dislikes and in poll
tics particularly, in which he became
prominent, he was a vigorous and un-
compromising friend or enemy, bu!
upright and honorable with the foe.
He was always prominently identified
with tho city's best interests, and was
public spirited. By his death the COM
munity loses a good citizen and a true
friend.
