yThe last of the Eagles that attend
I'd the reunion at Butte came soaring
from the west last night and folded
their weary pinions for a long rest in

first named couple, who died the day
before. The funeral took place this
afternoon at 4 o'clock from the resi-
dence of Senator Yegen, on the south
side. Burial was delayed until that
time to permit Mrs. Stockwell, mother

resideing at Columbus, appeared in

said that an attempt on his life had
been made yesterday afternoon by a
resident of that place. He claimed
that the one who made the assault
had shot his dog and because he re-
monstrated the other mar attempted
to shoot him. Yale said that he struck
up his a%ssailant's arm and thus prob
ably saved himself from the same fate
his pet met. After this, he claimed,
the other fellow hit him on the head
with the revolver. A complaint will
be filed against the alleged assailant.
