Details OF the Life Of Edwin Coffin
Formerly Of This City.
From NTOpday'S Daily

The Dillon, Mont, Examiner gives the
following account of the death and fun
eral of the late Edwin Coffin, who was
for twenty three years resident of
Mankato, and was a brother of W. P.
Coffin:
Last Saturday, September %, Edwin
Coffin of this city passed to his rest.
For those who have resided in this vi
entity during the years covered by Dill
Ions history, his memory needs neither
| words of eulogy nor remembrance, but
| for those of more recent arrival it may
| be said that in the familiar, kindly man,
our community has lost one of its best
citizens. With character above re-
preach. with charity for all and malice
towards none. Mr. Coffin has lived life
deserving of the commendation. swell
done, good and faithful servant, enter
thou into the Joy of the Lord"
He was born in Paoli, Indiana, Oct.
| II, 1924, of Quaker parentage, and on
reaching manhood's estate joined the
NJ. E. church, of which he died devot-
ed, consistent member.
He was one of the goldseekers of Cal
ifornia from 1850 to 1852, and a farmer
in Mankato, Mimi, twenty-one years.
In 1877 he worked in the Glendale smell
ter. and as ranchman and merchant has
been closely identified with Beaverhead
county until his death.
In manhood's prime the idol of his
heart passed to the better world, fol-
lowed at later intervals by son, I. E.
f! Coffin, formerly of this valley, and Mrs.
Wilder Nutting of Twin Bridges, Mont.
A son and four daughters survive to
lament his death: Wilbur Coffin of
Minneapolis; Mrs. Lorin T. Jones OF
Portland Oregon; Mrs. Fl. ]. Thompson
of Billings, Mont; Mrs. w. j. Crowell
of Dell. Mont; and Mrs. James Kirk
patrick of Dillon Mont. His home has
been with the latter for the past TWEEN
tv-six years, home now desolate,
mourning an irreparable loss. Mr.. Coffin
was approaching his eighty second year,
and has brother eighty eight years old
living in indianapolis. Only one other
brother and sister out of family of
seven still live.
The burial was at Mountain View
cemetery on Monday, afternoon last.
Rev. R. P. Smith, of Helena, delivered
feeling address. Several hymns, IA
vorites of the deceased, were rendered
by special choir, and the services
were participated in by every clergyman
in the city.
The interior and vicinity of the
grave were tenderly and lovingly dec
grated with profusiOn of flowers by
the members of the Ladies' Aid society,
and host of faithful friends joined in
heart with the sorrowing relatives.

Malta-Vita is the perfect whole

BODY with all those food elements which

The malt extract is added after the
wheat has been thoroughly cooked and
steamed and converts the starch of the
wheat into maltese. or malt sugar,
which is highly nutritious and easily
assimilated even by very weak stom-
achs. Physicians recommend maltese
Tor its strengthening qualities and
Malta-Vita is rich in 1t. After being

WHY THE PASTOR RAN.

One of the traditional stories of the town of Fairfield, Conn.,, recounts a wild dash from the pulpit made by a worthy and beloved pastor of the Episcopal flock, Dr. Labaree.
 It was on a Sunday more than a hundred years ago. The service had been read, the prayers said, the hymns sniug, and the parson began his ser mon. As he proceeded his gestures be- came very energetic. He brought his right hand down with great force. Then he turned pale, cleared the pulpit stairs at a bound, dashed out the church door and ran toward the pond a short distance away.
 The congregation followed in be- wildered pursuit, and saw their ven- arable pastor with flying robe rush in- to the water until he came to his neck. Then turning round he faced his astonished audience and said:
 Dearly beloved brethren. I am not crazy, as no doubt many of you think, but yesterday at the drug store l bought bottle of nitric acid and care- carelessly left it in my pocket to-day
 My last. gesture broke the bottle. l knew the suffering the acid would cause when it penetrated my clothing,

lettes. brought from Idaho. The rams with which these sheep are crossed have been imported from Scotland These sheep are placed on shares with the farmers, the farmer receiving a share of the wool and increase for the caring of the flocks,
 But the minute the sheep are in- stalled on the farms, big obstacle has to be confronted, namely, dogs. No one knows just why helpless sheep will arouse the fiercest nature of the that the scent of sheep will inspire murder in the hearts of Newfoundland and setter blooded bull and yellow cur. The things which dogs will do to get at sheep almost give rise to fear that they are only wild beasts after all, and not to be thought of as pets. They will journey twenty or thirty miles day after day to get at the poor creatures; they will lie craftily hidden for hours in the immediate vicinity of a flock, waiting for the best possible time to kill without being detected; they will tear their own skin off in great patch es, by crowding under a barbed-wire 1 fence which surrounds a sheep pas ture; they will jump the highest board l fence that farmers have built; they
 will show all the cunning of fox in planning escapes from their homes to
 go on their marauding expeditions, and
 they will become wolf-like in their fierceness if they are detected in their
 murdering act
 They do not eat sheep. They suck
 the blood of the defenceless things, and
 they will kill lamb after lamb, until
 they themselves are loathsome with
 blood drippings from their jaws and
 smeared over their breasts. And once
 a dog gets a taste of sheeps blood
 nothing will break it of the habit oi
 sheep killing.
 It is this sort of thing that the sheer
 raising farmers have been most hope
 less about "If the farmers endeavoi
 to keep their sheep within certain llm'
 it's, so they cannot roam about and
 cause damage, the dog owners ought to do likewise with their dogs" they said despairingly, knowing deep 1T
 their hearts that the most reasonable man immediately becomes unreasona' ble when his dog is complained of. Tn
 states assistance in paying farme !, for sheep killed by dogs is not at al satisfactory, for it cannot really repa! him for the loss of the sheep by givinI !, him the price of it.
 ., If crazy man should suddenl! g rush into your home" says MT. Peer il S Indignation, and kill member O { your family, would you feel satisfied i { the state gave you sum of none, g and made no attempt at restrainin: e the crazy man?"
 : The New England Farm Stock com l pany has imported from Scotland I shepherd, with two sheep dogs, an : has installed the trio on the company I own farm in Leyden. There he, witt I the aid of his dogs, tends about on y thousand sheep. and all marauders ar q kept successfully at bay He instruct l the farmers how sheep dogs may b { trained to look after the flocks, an n keep all enemies away.
