Ten Thousand People Attested Their
Respect for John T. Black, at
Duluth.

Yesterday afternoon, at Duluth,
10000 people demonstrated their
love and respect for the late John
T. Black, chief of the Duluth Fire

were held at the Zenith City,"
At 2:3O o'clock, a brief service

sir knights, including the officers of
the Grand Commandely of the state,
accompanied by large delegation
of Duluth fremen and members of
the police force, marched from the
Masonic Temple to the residence
and acted as an escort in taking the
body to the temple for the public
services.
At the residence, the coffin and
walls of the room we're entirely
covered with flowers, so prettily
arranged as to beggar description,
some of the most beautiful being
from the Duluth Commapdery and

partment.

around the high school building,

able inch of space was filled with
humanity.
The services in the temple were
conducted by the Grand Lodge of

last sad rites for an esteemed de-
parted brother.
