A PAUPER'S GRAVE.
Arizona Eagles Pay Tribute
to a Departed Weiser
Brother.
Elmer E. Howard, a former well
known resident of Weiser and a
member of the local Aerie of Eagle«,
died recently in Phoenix, Arizona.
He was a stranger in that far-off land,
but the fraternal love so strongly ex
emplified by the Order of Eagles se
cured for him all the tender care and
assistance that was possible and he
was saved from a pauper's grave.
A leading Phoenix paper gives the
following account of the sad affair:

the remains of Elmer E. Howard, a
stranger who died in the city a few
days ago, and the tribute paid the

comes as a fitting answer to the argu

all secret fraternal orders.
The deceased was an actor.

was taken ill with acute rheumatism.
The members of the Dixie company
cared for him until they left the city,
but upon their departure Howard was
without friends in a étrange city and
without money to secure proper
medical treatment.
But he was an Eagle, a member of
Aerie, No. 202, of Weiser, Idaho,
and his case was reported to the
local aerie. He was immediately re
moved to the Sisters' Hospital, where
he remained until he died, and yester
day his remains were laid toi rest.
As far as known, the uufortunate
young man had no relatives, neither
brother, sister or mother, and except
that he belonged to a fraternal organ
ization he would have been a county
charge during his illness and occupied
a pauper's grave upon his death.
A large number of Eagles turned
out to pay their last respects to the
deceased, though not more than two
had known him in life, and he was
shown all honors coming from the
brotherhood.
