Show m Death of John Judge. Unstained and spotless, his soul has returned re-turned to God, as white as it came. The news of the demise of John Judge will bring sorrow to many a heart in the far East, for the man was loved as a brother by all who knew him. Mr. Judge lived an active and honorable life, and after serving four years in the Union army, came home at the last close of the war and engaged in mining. Up to a few months ago he hade barge' of the Daly mine, and he discharged every trust imposed upon him with the strictest fidelity," and to his ability and energy is largely due the splendid development of that mine. When at last the disease from which he died had gained such headway that his tired haads could no longer work, he laid down the burden unwillingly and came down from the mountains to await the end, which came yesterday. - At no time was the man's unfaltering courage more strongly shown than when the shadows were gathering about him. He faced the last great crisis as he had faced every other crisis cri-sis in life, and expressed his thankfulness that he could leave his wife and children provided pro-vided for. Then, without a murmur, he awaited the end. The sympathy -of the entire en-tire community will go out to the stricken widow and children. The funeral will take place from the Catholic Cath-olic church tomorrow at 1:80 p. no. |
