The many friends of Walter E.

grieved to hear of his death at Bel

ing. which will cause a profound
shock among his many friends and
acquaintances. No particulars ac
companied the message, which was
received at the home here by J. J.
Wilson, secretary of the Scotlsh Rite
bodies of Lewiston, with which Mr.
Dagget was affiliated.
On August 15 th a news dispatch
-out of Seattle told of the mysterious
disappearance of Mr. Daggett. He
had a few days before that time
purchased a cigar store at 1016
third avenue, and after owning the
business a day or so disposed of it.
That was the last heard of Mr. Dag

closest associates In Lewiston.
When it was known that Mr.
Daggett was evidently 111, a repre
sentative of the Masonic lodge of
Lewiston was sent to Seattle to try
and locate him, being assisted by
Masons of Seattle. Their search
was unavailing, however. In Bel
lingham at the time the death or
Mr. Daggett was made known,

a representative of the Masonic
lodge, and arrangements were made
to ship the body to Kendrick, for

former home.
