The legal business as a member Of
he Wallowa county bar. Mr.. Thomas

his to say of him. "Gone West
Attorney Charles Thomas left Fri
lay morning for Enterprise, Ore
gon, where he expects to make his
future home. It Is doubtful II any
man ever let Bedford to make his
home elsewhere whose going caused
more universal regret and who car
ried with him the more sincere we'll
wishes of the community generally.
Mr.. Thomas is a lawyer, and as
such has taken prominent part in
many controversies which were set
tied in a court of law. Usually, a
man who Is worsted in a lawsuit
has more or less Ill feeling for the
lawyer on the other side who caused
him to be defeated. But If there is
one man in this whole county who
has been beat In lawsuit where
Charles Thomas was the other mans
lawyer and for this reason holds a
grudge against him, the writer has
never heard of him. Mr.. Thomas is
loyal to a client, and will do any
thing that is honorable to win; but
no case Is so important that In or
der to win would Mr.. Thomas deviate
one iota from the course dictated by
honor and fairness. The secret of
his popularity is that he is honor
able in all things, and believes i'm
giving every man fair deal"

business until quite recently; but
growing worse he decided to go the
Frost hospital at CEelsia, Mass, for
medical treatment, and if necessary
to undergo a surgical operation.
After reaching that place the medical
authorities deemed an operation need
ed, and Wednesday, Feb. % he suff-
cred the operation. 1t proved to be
more serious than was hoped and he
died Thursday. Mr. Hamblet was the
son of Josiah and Martha (Nye)

on Oct. a, 1862 and spent his minority
in this county, was educated in the

for himself in Lyndonville and lived
here in Barton several years, but for
the past few years has been travelling
salesman for the Holbrook Grocery
Company making his home at St.
Johnsbury, where he has just built a
fine residence. Mr.. Hamblet was a
most genial, kindhearted gentleman.
He was a good business man, much
respected by his employers. full of
pleasantly, man who made friends
everywhere he lived, upright, honest.
friend to the poor and ready to do a
good turn whenever needed. He was
a member of the Independent Order
of Odd Fellows, the Fat Mems
club" and of the United Comm ercial
Travellers. He attended the Univer-
salist church and was one of its sup
porters. His social qualities, wit.
and cheerfullness made him a favor
ite among all classes. He leaves to
mourn his death, his wife, his daugh-
ter Caddie, his father and mother and
his brothers, Fred j. Hamblet OF
Charleston and G. E. Hamblet of this
place, besides many more distant rel.
atives and friends. The obsequies
were held from the Universalist
church at st. Johnsbury Saturday
where there was a most beautiful
display of flowers, emblems of human
frailty. His remains were placed ir
