GREATLY BELOVED
LADY LAID TO REST

The funeral of Mrs. A. Il. Stephens
took place at clock last Friday aft.
ernOOn from her late home on North
Shilling avenue, where an immense con.
course of friends and neighbors assem-
bled to pay their last tribute of respect
and friendship to the deceased and her
broken hearted and bereaved husband
and three minor sons, whose great
loss would be recovered if it were
possible for the unanimous and
sincere sympathy of community to do
50. The Royal Neighbors, and the
Maccabees in white, attended the fune-.
raj in bodies, as the deceased was one
OF their most active members. The
floral offerings We're most generous and
very beautiful, the casket and once
happy home being almost hidden with
mounds of fresh roses, carnations and
lllacs. The services Mt the home were
conducted by the. Rev. John Austin,
who dwelt impressivclv on the chart-
able Christian life of the dead. AS a
mark Of respect for the dead, and an ev-
idence OF confidence for. the living, the
merchants suspended business during
the funeral hour. and the procession,
which consisted Of fifty autos and other
vehicles, is said to have been the largest
burial cortegc ever seen iii Blackfoot.
In the death of Mrs. Stephens Black
foot has lost onesef its lnAst justly pop
ular women, as to know her was but to
love her. Her sweet, smiling face and
pleasant countenancc was noted at
home and abroad ana those who had
not the pleasure ofa speaking acquaint-
ance with her admired the kindly
light Of her eyes. which seemed to
shine for all, regardless. of their social
or financial rating. Kindness and gen.
erosity were depicted on her madonna
like face, where no trace of atfcctation
or naughty pride was ever seen. She
was one Of the noblcst Of women, a
wife and mother whose death il an ire
parable loss to her grief stricken hus-
band and three sons, and loss to
Blackfoot that will not soon be for
gotten.

.uIiar form Of conviction, is not in es
cess of one year in the county jeil.
Gesas was a speed bug, and didn t stop
when he ran over and killed two people.
He is one Of the type that has little
regard for rules. regulations or road
law, and the only ,leplorabe thing
about his act or his trial is that the
sentence is hardly adequate to answer
the purpose Of supplying an example
The tragedy which resulted in the
conviction Of Geses occurred at the in
tersection of Fifth East and Seventh
Street South, shortly before midnight,
on November 13,- 1915. The victims
had; alighted from street ear but an
instant before they were struck by the
automobile driven by Geses. They were
to have been married the next day.
Davies was instantly killed. The Sc.
we're mutilations of his body from the
impact Of the automobile was men.
TONED by the trial judge DIS conclusive
evidence that the car operated by
Gesas was driven at reckless rate
of speed. The young woman was fatal.
y injured, dying without regaining
consciousness.
