MINERAL. POINT. WISCONSIN, NOVEMBER .
Thomas G. Wright Gone.

Mr.. Thomas q. Wright, one of our
Oldest and most respected citizens
suddenly passed into the life beyond
Sunday evening last about half past
five o'clock. He was 81 years and
mouths old, and while the infirmities
OF life were creeping on him and he
had frequent spells of sickness of
late, the sudden termination of his
| life was not expected and came as II
severe shock on the bereaved family
and community. He had been down
30 the pasture about dusk to drive up
the COW, but failing to find her he
returned, saying she must have
broken out. He also complained of
the return of Il severe pain in the
chest that had often troubled him
lately. Lying down, "A cry and a
short gasp and the vital spark had
fed ere loved ones realized his dan
ger. He had so desired to go, with
out long illness and lingering pain.
His oft repeated words, with a new
significance, now come back to his
widow and children, for he said he
always lived ready to go at any time.
The scriptural truth, the assurance
of salvation by faith, he found in the
Bible and realized it in his own daily
experience. He knew and was per-
suaded." So, those who most mourn
his departure know that while many
all as suddenly few fall as safely.
He was born in England. 1t was
great pleasure for him to talk with
his pastor, Rev. T. Kent, about the
localities (Leicester and Leicester
shire) in which his early life was
spent, and it was u special delight to
him that his pastor, "A few months
ago, visited and brought messages of
love to nim from his kin beyond
the sea.
For some years he followed the
business of milling, but during his
y
wife, lived among their children, and
particularly with the son Horatio,
who have counted it an honor to care
well for such parents. Besides his
widow, four sons and one daughter
survive him-Colin Wright of Mon
roe, 5. j. Wright of Milwaukee, l.. l..
Wright of Missoula, Montana. and
II. II. Wright and Mrs. Tenny of
Mineral Point.
In early life he was identified with
the Church of England, but during
his residence in this city he has been
II faithful member of the p. NJ. church,
whose pasor and members held him
in high esteem.
The funeral services We're held at
the home Wednesday afternoon. con
Quoted by Rev. T. Kent, assisted by
Rev. NJ. Chase, after which all that
was mortal was tenderly laid to rest
in Graceland cemetery-to rest until
"the day dawn and the shadows flee
away

WANTS new TRIAL.


The only case heard by the appellate
division OF the supreme court today was
that of Catherine Hunt IS. Thomas Nc
Nerney. The case has been for about
three years i'm court and one OF the
three children of whom the defendant
is the guardian has become of age, one
has died. one still remains minor.
one guardian Of the children has died
since their parents.
The case came before the court today
on the guardians petition for new
trial as IL is claimed that the probate
court wrongfully allowed certain items
on Mrs. Hunts account OF expenditures
made by her husband who was guard
ian of the Davitt children of East
Greenwich, the parties In interest, that
had previously been allowed him.
Samuel w. Is. Allen was counsel for
Mr.. McNerney and Col. G. j. Arms
counsel for Mrs. Hunt. There was some
thing OF an animated discussion as TO
why the petition had laid dormanant
for TWO years and seven months. Mr..
Allen said that the petition was not
pushed because Mrs. Hunt wanted to
save all possible expense and told him
the account would be compared with
the one her husband had been allowed
and everything made all right. Col
Arms said that if the statement of Mr.
Allen was to go TO the court as evil
dence he would like 10 file an affidavit
of Mrs. Hunt to the effect that she
knew nothing OF the appeal until II
came up for assignment in the court he
was now addressing. The court held
the matter for advisement.
