ThurSton Hutchins Dead.

The above heading will be read
with sorrow by all old timers in Ell
more county, where Mr.. Hutohins
lived and enjoved the respect of the
whole people for twenty-five years.
He removed to Boise few years ago
from this place, and became a part
ner in the Idaho Dressed Beef Co.
of that city.
Mr.. Hutchins was stricken with
appendicitis and was sick abot ten
DAYS before death claimed him.
He was made Mason in Gilmore
Lodge No. 80, at this place seven
years ago, but on removing to Boise
attached himself to the Masonic
lodge Of that city. He was aged
81 years.
Mondays Statesman contains the
following relative to his funeral:
Early yesterday morning the
remains were taken to the Masonic
hall on Main street and there lay
in state, being reviewed by large
number of citizens up to 2 o'clock
when the funeral ceremonies were
begun. At that hour all not men,
bers of the order were excluded
till after the opening of the meeting.
Then the burial service of the Ma
sons, possibly the most impressive
and imposing known, was per-
formed over the body of the dead
brother and friend. There was a
large turnout Of lodge members and
citizens of Boise, all desiring to do
honor to the man whose life had
been entirely honorable. The lam
entations were earnest and deep.
AS the handsome casket in which
were the remains of the dead was
brought from the lodge room and
j pat into the hearse there was a SOL
emn hush Of the hundreds who had
gathered on the streets; hats were
removed and the procession slowly
moved toward the burial ground
through throng of people from
whom there was no expression but
of grief A large number of car
riages followed the remains, occu-
pied by Mr.. Hutchins' old friends
and acquaintance. Interment was
in the Masonic cemetery.
1t was the general expression
throughout the city yesterday that
one of Boise's most respected and
