The body was buried at tlie same I

ller death was an especially sad
one. For weeks Miss Annie had
I made a brave light lor life, and it
i was thought that she had passed the
! critical stage of her illness, but the
long period of suffering she had
undergone had sapped her eoi.stituj
tion and reduced the bjdy to such a
I weak conditjon that she no longer
I had tlie strength to withstand the

THE BAR AROUSED.

UJCII auu iiniiwii iv?vw?iu |
for rhe money, created somewhat of; (
a sensation. If was the subject of ,
much discussion. The name of the
attorney against whom the severe iu
dictment was brought having been ^
withheld, the entire bar was under ,
thp shadow of the reckless editor's!'
damaging charges. In the circumstances
the members of the bar
deemed it their duty to take coguiz- ;
ance of the matter and called a v
meeting of the legal fraternity. All jJ
present at the meeting, it is under- (
stood, joined in requesting the president
to address a letter to Editor *
DeUnmp, demanding the name of c
the attorney and the particulars of *
the transaction referred to in hisar- 1
rangment.
A full account of the action of the (
bar, however, has been submitted for t
publication and is as follows: \
