deep gloom over the city. The sad
news came with the greater shock be-
cause as late as the evening of the

town enjoying his usual health. Mr..
Moran had been a resident Of Langdon
since the town first started in 1897
and for five years prior to that time
had lived at Bathgate, in Pemb!na
county. Mr.. Moran has thoroughly en-
joyed home life and, his traits OF char
acter We're such that he can truth
fully be said to have loved his home.

hand grasp and CHEEKY greeting of
Frank Moran will no more be expe-
rienced by his friends. He was a man
who set good example for his fellow
man throughout life. The funeral held
Monday afternoon from st. Alphonsus
church was an event largely attended
by sorrcwing friends, though in Keep
ing with the oft expressed wish of the
deceased during his lifetime, was ell
tirely devoid Of pomp or ceremony.
