The eulogist then went into the de-
tails of the late Chiefs life, drawing
from it the lessons of virtue and noble
manhood. BY this statement it ap~
peared that deceased was born in Aus
tralia thirty-four years ago, and that
he came to Sacramento when a babe,
with his parents. He grew to man
hood here, becoming a noble character,
and never departing from the lessons oi
rectitude taught him in youth. His life
illustrated the blessings of charity, JUS
tice, and temperance as a creed that
ennobles man.
Those who knew the beloved dead,
respected and admired him, and wher-
ever he worked he was popular

Southern Pacific Railway Company or
to benefit young men in the athletic
club his work was faithful and his ex-
ample inspiring. His life-w0rk bore
fruit in righteousness. He was
strictly temperate man in all things.
Though he never drank liquor he re-
spected others rights and was never
arrogant in his beliefs. His work was

the speaker will be as lasting as his
life-work and his good influences.
For weeks he struggled manfully
with pain and suffering, and his last
words were not concerning himself,
but were for loved ones-wife, children,
father, brothers, sisters. He had no
fear of a future life. His last set was
to kiss his friends cheek and ask that
friend to care for his little ones and his
life companion.
And they will be cared for said

stricken and those bowed with grief left
with sad hearts, these words of the
poet fingered like a sermon set to
music:
So live, that when thy summons comes to
