A Good Man Fallen.

In the prime of life, in the midst of bright prospects, In the exercise of talent that shone among his fel- lowmen, H. J. Thorn has been sud- denly called away from his earthly career. To his sorrowing wife and fatherless children the loss is ire parable, and though the world may not intrude too rudely upon their first sacred light to bewail him, yet there is whole community saying and feeling, I've too have suffered loss" The solicitous care manifested by his fellow Woodmen, proved the kindly relations exist ing there as did also the touching rites with which they laid his mortal remains to rest. Twenty-two Of his friends from Palouse came to testify their regard for him, be- sides those who came from Colfax, many of them drawn by the united strength of fraternal and legal bands. The honor and esteem in which he was held by the mem bers of the bar of Whitman county was proven by the fact that nearly every attorney Tn Colfax, includ. ing Judge Mcdonald, was in attend anoe, they having hired special train to bring them to Garfield. Irrespective of any tie but that of common humanity and respect for the sterling qualities of the man, hundreds of others came until the Christian church overflowed and not half the crowd could gain standing room inside. Eid. Sti. vers conducted the services, follow ed by 0. H. Johnson aud Rev. J Charles Downing. For the rest the Woodmen were in charge.- Garfield (Wash.) Enterprise.
