Laid to Rest.

Elder w. f. Butt arrived from the
east with the remains of Elder Lewis
Bushman over the r. g. w. Friday
morning. The relatives, pail bearers,
and wives of the missionaries were at
the depot TO meet him. The corpse
was taken iron the train and placed in
.he hearse. Elder Butt stated the
corpse was in very bad state and he
had had great deal of trouble in
getting the railways to carry it and it
YVES only by the aid OF Providence that
he had succeeded. 1t would be impos-
sible to keep it longer and though Elder
Bushman's wife had not arrived and no
grave dug or arrangements made for q
funeral, it was decided to bury him at
once and a company left to begin
digging the grave. The hearss then
drove to the cemetary with the pail
bearers, Newburn Butt, Edward South
wick, S. w. Ross, Walter L. Webb, e.
A. Bushman, and T. +. frame, as
escorts and the wives OF the missionaries
following. sOn arriving at the cemetary
the father, M. b. Bushman, and the
pail bearers opened the casket and found
that everything lad been done as well
as possible IN laying him out but the
body was too far decomposed for public
view. The lid was replaced and when
the grave was really the remains were
lowered to their last resting place.
80. My Father, etc. was sung and
Elder james Kirkham offered the
dedcatory prayer. The people were
thanked in behalf OF tie family for
their willingness in aiding in this sad
affair and the announcement made that
memorial services would likely be held
in the Meeting House on Sunday.
This closed one OF the saddest episodes
ever seen in our city Sorrow and
sadness swelled up in the hearts OF all
and tears OF grief fell on all sides rs the
last sad rites were performed. Twas q
sad affair, but one consolation, he now
rests in the midst of relatives and
friends and not in lonely grave in an
alien land.
1t was an anxious trip for Elder Butt
and one which told its SAD story in his
face, but lac was very thankful for hay-
| ing arrived safely with his charge.

Baker took a seat opposite her, the girl
aid, and maintained silence for some min
utes. At Hallesmere he called her atten-
ton to an opeE window and asked If she
preferred to have it closed. This led to q
conversation, in the course of which Baker
learned that the girl was of thoroughly
respectable family. One of her brothers
was lawyer, another a physician and q
third captain of artillery stationed ct Al
dershot, where Baker himself was quarter
master general This disclosure gave the
girl confidence, and she talked freely with
her companion until the train reached
Working Baker arose, closed the window,
sat down beside the girl, took her hand
and kissed her on the cheek.
The startled girl repealed Bakers ad-
vances and Baker grew more demonstra-
tive. She told the story Of the assault in
court with the utmost circumstantiality.
II it were fit to be reprinted here, it would
be an instructive lesson on the opportu-
mites offered for such crimes by the con-
struction of the British railway carriage.
1t would also show the utter futility and
uselessness of the apparatus provided for
passengers to summon the help of the rail-
way guards and other servants.
II pushed him away" Miss Dickinson
testified, STOOD up and tried to reach tina
bell to summon the guard. = also tried
the dial in the center of the compartment,
but it would not act" 1t mover docs act
As the struggle grew in violence Miss
Dickinson tried with her elbow to break
the window. She was unable to do 30. But
she managed to let down the sash by
lucky movement. Then she reached her
head out and screamed. Her voice was
lost in the chatter of the train.
II managed" the girl continued, "to
twist the handle Of the door, which opened,
and moved backward until my foot rest
ed on the footboard."
In this perilous position the girl was
held by Baker, who was, however, unable
to draw her back into the compartment.
She strained forward until che was able to
see the occupants Of the next compart-
ment, and attracted their notice. They
saw she was in distress, but were unable
or unwilling to go to her rescue.
The struggle lasted nearly an hour, un-
til the train stopped at Eshcr Here relief
was had from other passengers, and the
girl gave Baker in charge to the police.
The mans audacity was here finely dis
played. He gave his real name and address
to the police, and was allowed to proceed

until Miss Dickinson should be able to
procure warrant. This she did on the
Following day, and Baker was arrested.
Meantime, however, he went right on to
the dinner, showed his usual gayety Of
disposition, and actually responded to q
toast in his own honor proposed by the
Duke of Cambridge
Baker was then 42 years old The trial
resulted promptly in verdict of guilty,
which the jury found in Is minutes. He
was fined e30Q and sentenced to 10 months
In the common Jail. This ended his career
In England, but he lived for dozen years,
every one of which was fuller than its
predecessor of adventure. He went to

Sudan and his partial restoration to re-
spectability in England are matters Of re-
cent history.
He was great soldier, and he gave to

peared one day and didn't come back,
and we didn't know whether he'd been
run over by "a train of cars or strayed
away and got lost, or whether somebody
had picked him up and carried him off,
or what was the matter, but he didn't
come back, and we missed him very
much because we all liked Nibsy.

fore legs against me, and could tell by
the movement of them that he was wag-

Of course. He'd known my tread, soft

"Well, you know. glad as was to

was just what was afraid of. He didn't
