host OF friends took passage to that
city, intent on the same mission OF
paying the last respects to their
friend. Among them were: Rob
ert Barker, the bereaved father, and
II. A. Barker, the brother of the de-
ceased together with the l~atter's
family, Roland c.. Williams, CEas.
and John Schoberg, Henry Danils,
Magnus Bjork, Thomas johnson,
Emil Rosen, Chas. Soule, G. w.
Brown and I. NJ. Carr. A large
company of citizens, bowling with
the sorrow felt by an entire com
munity were at the train to see the
departure.
Edwin J. Barker, generally known
as ''Jenks," was one of the most sue
c~essful young men in Montana. He
was born in Woodstock, New
Brunswick. About Is or Is years
ago he came to Montana with his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Bark
er, and had ever since lived in the
state. He was for several years at
White Sulphur Springs, for a short
time at Butte, and of late years re-
sided in Neihart. a few years ago
he acquired an interest in the Big
Seven Mining Co. of Neihart and
became manager of the property.
Under his management it became
one of the richest dividend-payers in
the state, excepting some copper
mines. He acquired more of the
stock and was the principal director
and principal stakeholder. His sue
cess was wonderful and he was n
of the wealthy young men in
the state.
In his management Of the mines,
in all his business dealings and in
social he made friends cas-.
lily and had a very extensive ac-
quaintanceship.
Last November, he was united in
marriage to Miss Marcella Swingley
of Bntte, formerly of Great Falls.
About six weeks ago, he being in
poor health, left, with his wife and
her mother, for Hot Springs, Ark.
He had improved in health and,
when he met his death, was en- route
to this city. He intended to remain
here for a week and then return to
Hot Springs, where his wife and
MIR. Swingley had remained.
He leaves in this state several rel
atives-his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Barker, and a sister, Miss Vio-
let, of Neihart; and three brothers,
David l.. S. Barker of Neihart but
now operating in Wabigoon, Ont;
Herbert A. Barker of Neihart; and
John G. E. Barker of Great Falls.
He also has a brother, Carter Bar
ker, in Mexico.

"A Cabinet messenger arrived here this morn

several delegates remarked that new situa-

said: Arbitration is getting on swlmmlngy.

German delegates have become more hdgety:
