BURIAL OF FATTY" RYAN
Miners Come From BiSbee 10 Day
 Their Last Respects to Him.

In Tombstone a few days ago there died one of the old settlers of that once famous silver camp. The entire camp of Tombstone turned out Wednesday to follow the remains to the graveyard, where the people of Tombstone nave nrenared a spot for the long camp or the departed pioneer. The fire depart ment was out in uniform attire, and the Knights of Pythias formed part of the escort. The Prospector's report or the burial is as follows:
 At the grave was an impressive scene A R. English responded with few words of farewell to the deceased pioneer and his remarks were feelingly and touchingly portrayed In his re- marks to the memory of the departed he said:
 Friends: There being no preacher here today or to be had, I feel that some one should volunteer to say some thing appropriate to the occasion who has known during many years of his life the departed, and l submit to you that there lies still the heart of one as generous as ever quickened, and we are here to perform the last rites, and pay merited tribute to the memory Of as kind and warm a friend as man was ever blessed with. Peace to his ashes.
 Life has been well described as ''the vale which stretches out between the peak of two eternities" over the one we come, over the other we go, and whence and where makes all Of human speculation and human hope for the souls hereafter, and the origin Of life. Whatever lies in the vOiceless beyond for those who left us, no man knows; but, if there be a system of equitable compensation we need fear nothing for IL -sT F. y-E T, ,f0h in life pulsated in generous response to every touch of human woe, and quick ened impulse into action in the pres ence of human want. No imp1lslve nature has ever escaped criticism in this world, but let those who wish to say or think as they please Of our dead friend. He like all others that walked the earth, had his faults, but those were obscur by the brightness of his gener- ous nature, as has been said of another can well be said of him, If all to whom he has shown simple kindness in life would but bring one blossom to his grave, he ould sleep tonight under wilderness of flowers" and the lesson which this pathetic dust teaches is that you should "so live that when the sum- mons comes to join the innumerable caravan which moves to that mysteri- ous realm, where each shall take his chamber in the silent halls of death, thou go, not like the quarry slave at night scourged to his dungeon, but sus- tained and soothed by an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave like one wraps the draperies of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams
 Why, there is hardly a child in our midst, but who will remember the kindness of our departed friend, and they will respect his memory all their days, and my religion teaches me to believe that at the final accounting the humble and the poor will as surely re- ceive the credits due for acts of kind ness done on earth as will the aTis'to- cratic for his donations of wealth and more cstentatious show of religious profession PenEiless we come into the world and empty handed we depart, why or whence, we know not 50 when the angel of the darker drink At last shall find you by the river brink, And, offering his cup, invite your soul Forth to your lips to quaff,
 You shall not shrink"
 Another of the pioneers has passed away, and we trust that the loss of this i friend shall be his gain, for if the no- heart are to be rewarded, then he is entitled to his reward.
 Large was his bounty, and yet larger
 still,
 He gave to misery all he had, a tear He gained from heaven, twas all he |
 wished-a friend.
 No farther seek his merits to disclose, Nor draw his frailties from their dread l
 abode,
 For there alike, in trembling hope re- |
 pose
 On the bosom of his father-and his i
 God"
 Fatty old boy, siumber in peace farewell.
