NEW WATER COMES
TO AID OF OTHER
SYSTEM TUESDAY

When it was found that a break in
the old water system could not be re-
paired until late in the night Tues
day, new water was turned into the
city mains as temporary relief.
Those in charge did not dare let the
city go through the night without
water. since the danger from fire is
an ever present one
Fair cooks who have not had an
unsuccessful dish for their husbands
for the last score of years were gazed
at in amazement by that important
member OF the household when he
essayed his morning porridge We'd
nesday. And no wonder, as 1t would
test about ninety proof in tho shade
which is Just a bit stronger than
the point of saturation prescribed by
beer and light wines protagonists.
Luckily the foreign content of the
new water is creosote rather than al
cohol, lest the entire city go on n
jag and Rawlins come to be known
as = r"1or whose water possessed
strang powers of IMMIGRATION.
The action of the engineers in
turning water from Sage Creek was
made for the purpose of merely
temporary relief, and will not inter
fere with plans afoot for the mayor
to turn the new water into the city
mains formally sometime May LIST.
Until that time this water will he

FUNERAL FOR M. M.
MARLEY HELDLAST
TUES. AFTERNOON

The funeral services conducted
for Maurice NJ. Marley, who died last
Saturday morning at the hospital
following a short illness, ere held
Tuesday afternoon at two O'Clock
from the Elks Home.
Unusual Significance, from the
Elk viewpoint, was attached to this
sad ceremony, since Mr.. Marley was
a charter member of the local Elk
organization, and was the very first
man to be initiated into the lodge
here. This initiation was made
August 18th, 1900. That the funeral
should have fallen exactly upon Mr..
Marley's birthday, the 9th had he
lived, Is a coincidence viewed with
much sadness by the host Of friends
this smiling, generous man had made
during his long stay in this city.
Mr.. Marley was also a member of
the Brotherhood Of Locomotive Fire
men and Engineers, having enjoyed
that membership for fully thirty
years. He possessed a Twenty-Five
years membership button presented
him several years 6 by executives
Of that organization. This member
ship was servetl principally in Grand
Junction, where 1t was first entered
into. Salt Lake City, and Rawlins.
Maurice Marley was the son of
Michael and Marguerite Marley, and
a brother OF Michael A. Marley, the
sole survivor who now resides in Los
Angeles, California. One other
brother, John A. Marley. died in
1884. Michael A. Marley was in at
tendance at the funeral, coming from
his California home last week for
that purpose. This brother has long
tried to induce Maurice to spend his
last years in the western state, but
Mr.. Marley refused to sever the
friendships and associations which he
had builded up through the two
| score of years in Rawlins. He came
TO this city in 1880 at the & of 81
and for some little time vas engaged
in the liquor business at the Ferris
Hotel. where he made a reputation
for fair dealing, generosity. ant
smiling spirits which stayed will
him till the day of his death. Follow
ing this MIR. Marley spent severa
years in the oil development bust
ness in and around Rawlins, ant
later worked at the Wyoming Stat
Penitentiary as a guard. In ever,
sense Mr.. Marley was a real "ol'
timer,'' in spirit as well as in years
and was known by every residen
J of Carbon county.
His funeral last Tuesday by rea
son of the number attending it, gav'
evidence of the popularity he enjoy
ed in this his home town.
Father Schillinger acted for thu
Elks as Chaplain at the grave. al
well as delivering the address at thu
Elk's home. This address was com
mented on as being IN exceedingly
polished vehicle for those tender
thoughts and expressions which &C
company the departure of men wei
loved by their communities.
Active pail bearers were: Ed
Tierney. James Measures. Dennis
O'Melia. Robert Miller. j. b. Rob
inson. and Tom Parks: n honorary

day afternoon with all honor by the

ing of this we'll known and popular
man they saw the passing of another
of the all too few remaining old
timers.
Services were held from the Elk's
home at 2 o'clock In the afternoon
and were conducted by DR.. James
A. Fraser, followed by the regular
Elk's ceremonial service.
Coming to Rawlins when but a
young man, Mr.. Trammell had vow
an his personal history into the his
tory of the town itself. The first
few years Of his connection here
were spent in the employ of Doty
Brothers. then engaged in the ranch
ing and livestock business. Later
Mr.. Trammell served in various coun-
ty offices, chief Of which was that
in the Sheriff's office. He then was
employed at the state p~enitentiary
as doorkeeper, and retained that po-
sition until about two months ago
when pernicious anemia made itself
felt and he was forced to give up
his position. The battle since that
date was a steady descent, and one
week III DR.. Mclean. who attend
ed him. gave up hope for his recov-
cry. He died Monday morning,
peacefully.
The body was prepared for burial
by the Martin & Franks undertaking
parlors and interment was made in
