THE BURIAL OF JOHN JUDGE

The remains of but few men have ever been followed to their last resting place in this city by a larger concourse of people than was assembled yesterday in respect to the memory of the pioneer miner, John Judge, who died in this city on September 14th. There were representatives present from almost every mining camp in the entire Territory, and Park City alone sent a delegation of over 500 people as an evidence of her appreciation of the dead man's worth. The funeral was conducted by Joseph William Taylor, and the services which took place at the Catholic Church at 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon were conducted by Rev. Father Kiely. Father Kiely, in his remarks, paid a beautiful tribute to the life of the deceased; his loyalty to his friends, the kindness of his heart and to his worth as a man.

The remains were interred in Mount Olivet Cemetery, and there were sixty-four carriages in the procession which followed them to the grave. In addition to the large number of mining men who were present the Valley Lodge, A.O.U.W., of this city, of which the deceased was a member, also turned out, and a number of G.A.R. men and their friends were also in attendance. The McKean Post G.A.R. presented two flags, one to be laid upon the casket and the other to be put upon the grave. A beautiful floral offering was also presented by the Alta Club of this city.
