to live pure and upright lives,
that they might be not only pre-
pared for death, but prepared to
build in their immortal state up
on the foundation they lay here.
The services were very impress
sive and were characterized by a
spirit and feeling of common sor-
row such as has rarely if ever
been witnessed in Oakley.

AFTERMATH.

Mr.. Fred Taylor for whom
everyone in Oakley had the very
kindliest feelings is no more.
His body has been consigned to
the silent tomb, and his spirit
has returned to God who gave
it. No living man can say he is
the worse off, for having passed
from the Here into the There.
Indeed it is an almost universal
belief that the future estate is
far superior to the present. The
little conception that we have Of
it makes us believe that it re-
lieves us of the cares, troubles,
pains, aches, trials and vexations
to which we are subject here.
This being the case, let no one
imagine that he is mourning for
Fred. He is far better condition
ed than we, and he needs not our
sympathy nor our tears.
But let us turn our hands and
our heats in the direction where
they can do some good. OF all
the men that need sympathy
and the sustaining hand, it is the
friend of Fred Taylor, he who in
a moment of severe trial, melted
by the requirements of the la W,
moved upon by the unpleasant,
yet exacting duties of his office
and calling, laid low his bosom
friend and companion. No one
dare say that Oakley's marshall
bore any grudge or i'll will to-
ward the deceased. They were
the very best of friends. Many
and many a time they have play
ed together upon our stage. At
the time of the catastrophe they
were working harmoniously to-
gether in getting up a theatrical
performance with which to de-
light again, as many times OF
yore, the Oakley public. The
night before the tragedy they
sat together in the marshall's
office till long past the hour Of
midnight, enjoying each others
society. During that last day
and even up to the very last
moment they talked and joked
together as the best of friends.
But the one was an officer o.
the law. 1t made certain re
quirements upon him and hs

FUNERAL ODSEQuIES.
Impressive Services Held Over
Remains of Fred Taylor.

On SUNDAY last at II o'clock,
beautiful and impressive funeral
services over the remains OF Fred
TAYLOR were held in the Fourth
Ward meeting house. Bishop D.
P, Thomas, presided and Elders
Elmer Mecham, John H. Fair
child, and M, 0. Funk dld the
speaking. The following selec-
tions were rendered by the choir
under the direction of Mrs. Viola
Dayley:
"God Moves in Mysterious
Way"
20 Grave Where is Thy Wet
ory."
Guide Me to Thee"
The invocation was offered by
Elder Harvey Sessions and the
benediction by Bishop Adam G.
Smith.
The house was completely fill
ed by friends who desired to
show their love and respect to
the deceased. The following
acted as pail bearers, Clark Lee,
Leanas Johnson, Hyrum Judd,
Frank Lee, Hyrum Fairchild and
lanes Lee, a large cortege fol
lowed the remains to the GENE
terry where the grave was dedi-
Gated by T. H. Clark.
And thus the corporeal part Of
Fred Taylor was consigned &c
mother earth where it shall
peacefully repose until the morn
ing OF the resurrection, when the
elements shall be reunited anc
the immortal spirit return to its
tabernacle. The disunion o
body and spirit, took place early
in Fred's career, but owing tc
the very unfortunate and unusu
al circumstances attending tht
separation, his memory will re
main most vivid in the hearts
and minds of all people of this
community.
At the services Elder Mechan
spoke very feelingly upon hi
close and tender association
with Mr., Taylor and recalled tn,
many virtues possessed by thu
latter. Elder Fairchild portray
ed most beautifully the glories o
the resurrection, and assured hi
hearers that the deceased woulC
take part in the same. Eide
Funk testified concerning tn
truthfulness of the remarks o
the other speakers, and spok
very earnestly in the way of ad

phic and complete. Mr.. Anthony says
that he was sleeping in his room at
the Ramona Hotel, on Ellis street, near

that brought him out of bed, he says,

they finally resumed charge the officers
directed their energy towarn warning
people in the streets away from dan

Mr.. Anthony says he was walking on
Market street, near the Emporium,
about a. m, when a severe shock was
felt. At once the street filled again
with excited persons and thousands
were soon gathered in the vicinity, par
alyzed with fear Before the spectators
could realize what had happened, the
walls of the building swayed dis

bystanders stood as if paralyzed, ex-

Thousands of people watched the hun

made but suddenly there was a crack

fourth floor were the first to go. Then
as though by magic, smoke issue dfrom

This was followed by a most spec

to long, waving streams of flame. The

the forces of the earth, appeared DOOM
