neral. Mr.. Johnston left his home at
Fair Oaks, Sacramento county, but was
delayed in the mountains for seven
hours and arrived in Los Angeles last
night, too late to gaze on the dead face

His Wishes Realized
Every wish of the dead man was
carried out. Even nature united with
man to do the will of her dear son. For
years he had long desired that his end
might come on a Sunday. His wish
was realized. He died on Temperance
Sunday, day set aside by the churches
all over the world for the furtherance
of the temperance cause, which was
dearer to Mr.. Murphy than life.
He had often expressed a wish that
his mortal remains might be laid in
Gods country, fair Southern California,
and the clay frame of Francis Murphy
was laid in the peaceful stretch of
Gods acre at Rosedale.
That the death of Francis Murphy
was a national as we'll as local sor-
row was shown by the many kilograms
which carried the sympathy of the
nation to the Murphy home. From
Mr. Murphy's home state, Pennsyl-
vania, came the largest number. Gov
ernor and private citizens, high and
low, sent theiI messages of sympathy
to the bereaved family.
