Monday evening at 10:30, C. H. Baker received a telegram from coroner Bisbee stating that Carl Allison was lying dead at Long's Canyon and asking what disposition to make of the remains. Next morning a telegram was sent to Carl's father, who is cashier of a bank in Orrick, Missouri, and an answer was received to embalm the body and ship it east. C. H. Barker and Wm. Haman went up to Auburn to make the necessary arrangements, but the body was so far away, being 24 miles from Michigan Bluff and had to be carried out on a pack horse, that it was found difficult to comply with directions, and a second telegram was received telling Mr. Barker to use his judgment about the disposition of the remains, so it was decided to bury the body here under the auspices of Roseville Aerie of Eagles, which was done yesterday afternoon.
The party of hunters left here last week for the mountains. Last Saturday afternoon Carl went fishing and failing to return, his companions went out Sunday and found him lying dead in about 3 inches of water, where he was taken with a spell with his heart. Carl was well and favorable known here having resided in Roseville for the past two years and conducted a grill room in The Western and Raineer bar rooms. He has been in C. H. Barker's employ for several months and was well liked by all who knew him. He was well connected in the east but had very little to say of his family. He received a check for $1000 from his father a short time ago, but sent it back. The Eagles gave him an imposing funeral and did all in their power to show him respect and express their sympathy, and his eastern relatives may rest assured that Carl died among friends and was cared for the best they knew how.
