calm and kindly political lifetime Mr..
Leland's benignant qualities of heart
never showed forth so plainly as in
this campaign The sweetness of his
nature, always one of the marked
qualities of his life, seems undisturbed
by the petty rancors of political war

himself above political spite, and the
self control which has always kept him
from bitter assaults upon others have
always distinguished his gentle and
kindly disposition. His whole life has
evidently been mellowed by his for

devoted anxiety for harmony.

ceased was held in the community
In which he resided before coming to
Ely. The Standard says:
The announcement of the death of

fayorably known. Mr.. Carbon has
been manager of the Eccles Lumber
Co.'S business at Ely. New. during
the past three years, but has made
frequent visits to Ogden
He arrived here last evening and was
met at the depot by Mr.. Eccles, his
wife and Drs. Perkins and Joyce,
who had him taken Immediately to
the hospital where as operation was
performed last evening. The sur
geons on using the knife found that
the appendix had broken and their
patients condition was considered
serious Hope of his recovery was
held out. but soon after 3 O'Clock
this morning a change for the worse
came over him and he gradually sank
until the end came.
Mr. Carbon was one of the best
known and most highly esteemed
business men of Ogden. For years
he was associated in various business
enterprises in Ogden before going 10
Ely, where he has built up large
business for his employers and where
he had gained the respect of the en-
tire people there. He was member
of the Ely city council and has been
one of the most prominent lights in
building up that commonwealth.
Mr.. Carbon was born September

Anna Carbon. He was. married a
number of years ago to Miss Mary
Bell, who, together with his aged ia
tner, one brother and three sisters,

GAME LAW VIOLATORS.
Shooting Ducks Out of Season Comes
High for Guilty Men of Smelter.

Fifty-two dollars and 10 cents was
what Is cost three McGill hunters
who were arrested Tuesday evening
for shooting ducks out of season.
The three men were j. II. Broidrick,
E. S. Smith and w. A. Quinkan.
Their arrest was made by Deputy
Sheriff Steve Baker of McGill. who
was informed of the offense by Dep
uty Al Butler, whose keen eye no.
ticed the fellows carrying the ducks
while making their way along the
flats near McGill junction. Mr. But
Ter was passenger on the incom-
ing train from the smelter at the
time and he spied the hunters from
the coach window.
The men were given hearing before
Justice Marriott yesterday morning
and the trio pleaded guilty to the
charge preferred In imposing fine
the court was lenient because of the
fact that the costs in the case footed
up considerable sue. all but a
small portion of the amount stated
being required to meet the expenses
of the officers in effecting the arrests
and bringing the men here for trial.
The total was considered sufficient to
punish the offenders in manner that
would check them In any attempt at
repeating the offense in future.
