Quot- ing his letter in part, he says; “On a certain evening a Turk aero- Diane came over us and dropped a bomb or two close to our hospital and at the same time directed the fire of the Turks to our supply debut with the result that we 1051'. a l'ew dollars’ worth of supplies and ammunition. I was within 100 Yards of a store of ammunition Which was iired on, and it is a miracle that no one was hurt. Two mules were killed, and one had its front legs torn off.

He had very strong affections for his mother, and up to the time. of her death some years ago was a very frequent visitor. He was distant in his manner. and to know him at his true value it was necessary to go more than half Way. He had many friends here, and from the nature of his Work. as the youthful editor of a local paper, he could scarcely spend nine years in the editorial chair Withcut making some ene- mies. His throat gave him trouble always, and frequently While here he was forced to ‘take a holiday.

He Was a prominent Conservative, and a member of th- Masonic order. From personal knowledge and business relations with the decels- ed we must add our tribute of respect. We found him honest and honorable in our business transac- tions, having yet to find. an in- strmce where he made a misrep- resentation. This was W'. J. Mitchell as we found him in life: this was W.
