Mrs. Harry C. WGIIman and
Little Daughter.
Laid TO Rest in the Same Casket.
Death Came 10 Them Both
Within a Day.

After an illness OF many months,
borne with patient fortitude and
resignation, Mrs. H. G. Wellman.
aged "a years, of Louisa, died at
the home Of her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Hence Johnson, OF Cyrus, w.
Va, early last sunday morning.
Twenty-four hours later her on

ten months. Joined its mother in
the Far Country where life is per-
ennial and where happiness is fade
less and pure. On Wednesday af-
ternoon the funeral and interment
of mother and babe occurred, con-

each seemingly asleep beneath the
fragrant buds and blossoms.
The funeral was very largely at
tended by friends from three States
a very large number being there
from Louisa, the home of the sor-
row-stricken husband and the abode
of Mr.. and Mrs. wellnan during the
short period of happy married
life.
Seldom has this paper been call
ed to chronicle SO sad story as
that which relates TO the latter
months of Mrs. Wellmans life. She
married Mr.. Harry G. Wellman, of
this city about three years ago.
She was a young woman OF much
beauty and charm of manner, ami
able In disposition and lovely In
character, and soon become gem
eral favorite. Her married life was
a happy one. her husband was de-
voted to her, and when the little
one came her cup OF happiness
seemed full. nothing lacking. But
It was not long after the coming of
the little one before II became evil
dent that the mother was marked by
the Destroyer. She became i'll. and
It was all too plain that consump-
tion was preying upon her, and ev-
cry effort made, every possible meas
ure taken to prevent her young-hope
full life becoming victim to the
scourge, Physicians we're consult
ed, Journeys made. and every
known means OF restoration TO
health used. but all was fruitless,
and it was soon apparent that
death was inevitable. To add to
the sorrow OF the husband and par
ents of the wife and daughter the
tender little one. never very strong
sickened and faded. until its wasted
little body was laid In the coffin be-
side the cold form of the mother
who wanted to live for Harry and
my baby" Its short ten months of
troubled life ended painlessly, and !
of it we may truly say, 1T is bet
ter off"
The many Louisa friends of Mr..
Wellman have large measure of
sorrow and sympathy for him in
this hour OF great bereavement
The loss of his young wife and
babe is surely heavy blow, and
all who have loved and lost offer
words OF cheer and consolation.

Sailing Under False Pretenses

Judge O'Rear hardly crossed
the line into the Eleventh District
before he began to remind the
mountain people that he had writ
ten the opinion which had perfect
ed the titles of their land, and
made their homes resure. That
is true, but only half true. Judge
oRear could not have put that de-
cision upon the books had not
his fellow judges, all Democrats,
empowered him to do so 1t
was not political decision, nor
was it the result of personal in
fluence or persuasion. 1t was q
Just verdict, which the Supreme
Court of the United States upheld,
and it not only secured to the
mountain people their humble
homes, but made it possible for
capital to build railroads, open mine
and bring timber to market, and
otherwise uncover the riches Of
that marvellous section. There was
general rejoicing all over Kentucky
when this decision enfranchised
the mountain people. Politics had
nothing to do with it, and Judgeo'-
.ear had just one vote on the
question,
1t i'll becomes the Judge of the
Court of Appeals to point to his
decisions, and remind the people
who profited by them that his
hand wrote them, and that for
this reason he should receive
their generous consideration. 1t
is not only against the ethics OF
the Judges profession for him to
do this, but it brings the whole
Court in disrepute to have its de-
cisions placed upon the bargain
counter as If they were matters
of barter and sale.

lliamFlennikenDead

Our old pioneer, William K.
Flenniken, was taken i'll with
pneumonia on Saturday, Jan. 21,
and died in this city on Tuesday,
Jan. "a, and his remains we're
laid to rest in the village ceme-
terry Jan. 26th.
Mr.. Flenniken was born Oct.
28th, 1848, at Uniontown, Penn, 4,
and came to Utah when he was
8 years of age with his father,
who was then U. S. Judge of
Utah, which then included what
is now Nevada.
Hon. Robert P. Flenniken, the
father of VIM. K. Flenniken, was
at one time member of Con-
gress, and was Minister to Den
mark under President Polk. An
other son is a resident of Pitts
burg, Pa, and is we'll known
banker.
VIM. Flenniken was scout
in the Nez Perce and Bannock
Indian wars. He has lived at
Idaho City, Boise City and At
lanta, and came to Custer county
in 1879, where he has resided
ever since, most of the time fol
lowing mining and prospecting.
He was the first marshal of the
Village of ChalliS.
Bill F'lepniken was open
hearted, kind, and sympathetic
and would divide his last dollar
with any one in need, and has
many friends who will be sad to
learn of his death.
His convictions, whether right
or wrong, were honest and sin
cere, resulting from much care
ful study and analysis on his
part, and with which he calmly
met the fate of all flesh.
Having lived according to the
light he had-and who shall
judge that light but the just Coo
before whom we all must pass
we lower all that remains Of oul
friend and neighbor to his fina
resting place, to calmly to avail
the reward of just God. An(
as we cover it with the sods o
earth, may we also cover with
the mantle of charity his EARTH,
shortcomings, whate'er they ma.
have been, and keep bright il
the lime-light Of memory hi.
many good deeds, and may W.
always emulate his virtues tha
we may be better fitted to NEE
our loved ones who are on th'
other side.
Each death is a link that bind
US to the beyond, SO let US liv
and do that when our time come
!. we will be found a good link i
the endless chain of the plan o
Nature.
