                      Death of JOHN ST. ARNOLD.
                      
                 Well Known Land Looker Passed Away
                  at Marquette - Brought to L'Anse
                            For Burial.
                            
              Wednesday, L'Anse people were greatly surprised
            when news was conveyed to them of the death of JOHN
            ST. ARNOLD, one of the best known and highly esteemed
            cruisers in this section of the country, which occurred
            at his late home in Marquette after an illness of but
            a few weeks.
              To the general public the news came as a great shock
            for it was generally supposed that he was one of the
            strongest and most hearty men in the upper peninsula,
            but to those who knew him best his death was not un-
            warranted.
              About three months ago MR. ST. ARNOLD was attacked
            by a trouble, which seemed to cause him a great in-
            convenience in his breathing, but which only came at
            odd intervals. Desiring to know the cause he spent
            three weeks at Murphy's hospital in Chicago, without
            benefit. At the end of this time he returned to his
            home, and since that time his condition grew rapidly
            worse, and when Marquette physicians examined him
            they found a peculiarity existing in the action of
            his heart, and one which neither medicine or the sur-
            geon's knife would cure.
              Tuesday of this week surrounded by several of his
            associates and brothers, he breathed his last. Death
            came to this sturdy pioneer without pain or anguish,
            and apparently having found the corner post which
            marked the road to the great beyond, he bade his
            fellow cruisers farewell and without compass or
            chart proceeded on his way.
              Deceased was 53 years of age and was a single man.
            He had made his home with his brother HENRY at 212
            North Seventh street in Marquette for many years,
            and for the past fifteen yeards had been in the em-
            ploy of W. S. PRICKETT, of Sidnaw.
              He was a prominent member of the St. Jean Baptiste
            society, and also of the United Sons of Canadian 
            Frenen, and a highly esteemed citizen in the com-
            munities in which he traversed.
              The remains were brought to L'Anse Thursday fore-
            noon, accompanied by a brother HENRY ST. ARNOLD, and
            MRS. GUS MILLER, of Marquette, MR. and MRS. PETER
            CLYNE of this village, and E. BERTRAND, a repre-
            sentative of the St. Jean Baptiste society, and were
            taken to the CLYNE residence where they will lay in
            state until Sunday, at 1 o'clock, at which time the
            funeral will be held from Sacred Heart church.
              Interment will take place in the Catholic cemtery.
