A strong brave man was Jack; not schooled
indeed,
In all the graces of the worlds select,
The courtly smiles and lisping courtesies
OF marble palaces and nerveless wea' th,
But with a heart as stalwart as his arm.
And sturdy self-poised manhood, bluff and
frank.
AS he ~untempered winds, he laid his hand
Unawed on the shoulder of the world
And feft himself a peer among the best.
His heart went out in pity for the weak.
His arm was ever raised against the strong,
His acts we're sometimes wayward as his
words,
And oft his unframed wrath like lightning
struck;
His head was bare when modest virtue passed,
And cant and fraud no traffic with him made.
Leal in his friendships, open in his hates,
By nature peaceful, but to fear unknown,
He gave a tear or tear and blow for blow,
And felt no shame in either-Gallant Jack!
Old comrades of that dead and scattered pane
Who in the past with freman's trump and
shouts
Awoke the echoes of Mount Davidson.
Farewell stout heart, farewell!

has been found by the Coroner that a
singer now employed in a San Fran
cisco cafe will inherit $4,000 as the
widow of Frank Smith, a gambler we'll
known here, who died suddenly last

which revealed the fact Of his marriage
some time ago to Lucille Byrnes, at
that time a favorite singer in Salt Lake.
Following up the case, the Coroner
located her in San Francisco.
