Sad Death Of Llewclyn Thomas,
Which Occurred Tues
day Morning.
FUNERAL HELD THURSDAY
From the Residence-Large
Attended by Sorrow
ing Friends.

1t is with deep regret that THE
SENTINEL announces the death Of
Llewelyn Thomas, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John r. Thomas, of this city,
which occurred at Houghton Tues
day morning at ll:30 o'clock.
z Four months ago Mr.. Thomas Sc
cured a position as operator in
the Western Union telegraph office
in Hancock, and at the end Of four
weeks was transferred to the Office
in Houghton and also performed
the duties of supply clerk for the
electric light company, which posi-
tion he was bolding at the time he
was taken ill, One week ago last
Sunday Llewelyn complained of not
feeling well, but performed his
work the following day as usual.
Monday night, however, he grew
worse and Tuesday morning medical
assistance was summoned, when it
was found that he had an attack Of
appendicitis. although his condition
was not at that time considered
serious Thursday morning he was
much worse and his parents were
notified, and Mrs. Thomas went to
Houghton. In the afternoon DR..
j.. G. Turner, of thus city, was sent
for and upon his arrival consulta-
tion of five physicians was held.
1t was found that aside from APP
he was also suffering
from peritonitis, and as he was
very weak an operation was not
deemed advisable. At times his
case seemed hopeful, but Sunday it
was known that it was only "a
question of few hours before the
end, and as stated above he died
Tuesday morning at l1:30.
Deceased was born at Arvon,
this county, and was Is years of
age the 8th day of last August. He
was a young man highly respected
by all who knew him, with a bright
future in store, and his sudden and
untimely death is deeply deplored
and a sad blow to the home circle.
The funeral was held from the
residence Thursday afternoon at
2 O'Clock, Rev H. Gilingham Of
ficiating, and was largely attended.
The casket was covered with
beautiful floral tributes. The pail
bearers were John Brennan, George
Bowen, George Sterk, VIM. II.
Menge, of this city, Barlow Wal
lace, of Marquette, and John Ellis,
of Calumet.
The following from out Of town
were present at the funeral: Mrs.
John Jones, Oshkosh, Wis. Mr. and
Mrs. K. f. Halsey, w. b. Wallace,
G. H. Moore, Marquette; Mrs. John
Ellis and son, Red Jacket; Mrs.
Heughens, Lake Linden; j. Fl.

MIR. BURKE,s BILL.
Wants Allowances to Contestants
Cut on,

wants Allowances to Contesta N t.
Cut on.
Washington, january 24.-(Special.)- -
Congressman Burke of the Dallas district
today introduced a bill repeating the law
allowing contestants and contestees each
$1,000 for the expense of making the con-
test and had his bill referred to his COM
mittee on elections.
Speaking of the bill, Mr.. Burke said
Since the passage of the law allowing
contestants and contestees each thd sum OF
$1,000 for expenscsaof contests, l67 contests
have been filed in the house and the allow
ance for the same under the law Is S62S, 900
in the Fifty-fourth and Ffty-ffth con :
crosses; fifty three contests were fled and
for these the allowance amounts under the
law to S212,000. When government, either
State or National furnishes a tribunal free
of costs to eith,sr party before which they
can 60 and present their case. think 1t
has discharged its full duty TO its citizens.
TIE house is the tribunal before which a
contestant can present his case ard be-
lieve the policy of paying him at the ex-
pense of tha public for presenting and
preparing his own case is wrong in prin-
ciple. 1t stimulates contests by offering a
premium for each instituted and the num-
Der of cases fled show that contestants
fully appreciate the provisions of law
that permits and allows them not only to
litigate at the expense OF the public, but
also to be paid fec, so to speak, for the
privilege"
In this congress three contestants have
already made contests and fought their
cases Just long enough to get their fees
and then retired in favor OF the contestees.
