AN OLD PIONEER GONE.

Peter GoWrie died at his home il
this city at 1870 p. m. Friday. He
had been a sufferer with a complica
zion OF ailments for several months
but every effort to restore him tc
health proved unavailing.
Deceased was born in Scotland in
1851, and was conductor on the
Great Northern in the early 9O's,
when the tracks of that railroad be-
gan to reach toward the Pacific coast.
he was member of the Order of
Railway Conducto rs, and II years ago
left the service and engaged in bust
ness in this city. He was an active
member of that order, however, up to
the time OF his sickness, and carried
$4,000 insurance in the O. r. O.,
which will go a long way toward as
slstlng his estimable family in the
hour of their bereavement. He was a
popular member of the Fraternal
Order OF Eagles, and that organiza-
ton assisted in every way to make
lighter the burdens of the family
during the sickness and death of the
husband and father
The funeral from the residence to
the church was most impressive. The
.. Il. G. and f. Q. E., led by the Cit
liens Band Of Havre, escorted the
remains, followed by a large con-
course of people, to the Presbyterian
church, where Rev. Francis w. Pool
preached a mastery and beautiful
sermon. G. W. Ling and G. E. An
drews read the impressive ceremony
OF the Eagles, after which the orders
took charge of the body and followed
the remains to Mount Hope cemetery
for interment.
Deceased had been familiar
companion to all of the citizens and
will be much missed by the old-tim-
ers. He was city marshal FOR four
years, and public spirited in every
way.
He leaves a most respected family
to cherish the memory of a devoted
husband and father,
REsOLUT1ON-The following resolu-
ton was passed.:
Whereas: In his infinite wisdom. the
Supreme Ruler has called from our
midst our beloved brother Peter
Gowrie whose death leaves a grief
stricken wife and children to mourn
a loving husband and father. There

the wife and family of our deceased

and that a copy of these resolutions !
