Thursday, July 10, 1902:
John CUTLER, who passed away in Fairhaven, July 8, was born in the city of Philadelphia, March 6, 1817. He was of English and Dutch extraction, his parents lived in America in the Colonial days, witnessing the war waged by the colonist for independence, and his grandfather, Col. POPE, having fought for the colonies in the Revolution. John CUTLER was married in 1846, in the city of his birth where his eldest child, a daughter, was born. His later life was spent in the west. His work in early life was that of a teacher, in which profession he excelled in many things, particularly that of penmanship. In later life he became a tiller of the soil. In his home life he was an exceptionally kind father and husband, and an exemplary citizen. He was blessed with a most excellent wife and perfect home-maker, of whom he was bereft Nov. 14, 1879, since which time he had made his home with his children, residing for many years with his daughter, Mrs. Wm. HEDGE, of this city, at whose home he quietly passed away in the evening of life, as one retiring to rest at the close of an eventful day. Four children survive him, a son, John CUTLER, Jr., and three daughters: Mrs. William HEDGE, of Fairhaven; Mrs. Theo. JONES and Mrs. A. F. CONEY of Nebraska.
Although leading a quiet and peaceful life his career was not altogether uneventful. While a boy he saw LaFAYETTE at Philadelphia and had the honor of appearing in the great parade which was formed to welcome the noble French general on his return to America. On this occasion he saw the wife of Robert MORRIS, one the signers of the Declaration of Independence. His grandfather, Colonel POPE, fought with LaFAYETTE at the battle of Brandywine, where he was wounded. Along in the thirties Mr. CUTLER met Henry CLAY at Columbus, Ohio, where the great statesman delivered the Fourth of July oration. Mr. CUTLER also had the distinction of riding on the first railroad in America in 1829. Coming to Fairhaven in its pioneer days he continued to make his home during his declining years. He was a most interesting character, a fine conversationalist and agreeable companion. He will be much missed by his near friends, as well as by the sorrowing family of Mr. and Mrs. HEDGE, with whom he so long made his home.
Mr. John WESTLUND's six year old boy broke his leg today. Mr. WESTLUND had just arrived from Ferndale when them boy met him and climbed into the buggy for a ride. In trying to place his feet together he put one between the spokes. Dr. HOOD of Ferndale was summoned to attend him.

DIED IN THE STREET
Due To Heart Failure
Robert MOONEY, aged about 26 years, dropped dead while walking along Holly street west, near C street at 7:30 o'clock this morning.
He arrived in the city July 2 and secured a position in James LEITH's barber shop, 602 Holly street, West. He went to the shop as usual this morning, in company with Joe KLASPER, who also works in the shop. They unlocked the door and were arranging to go to work. At about 7:30 o'clock MOONEY said to Mr. KASPER: "Look out for the shop, Joe, I'm going out to get a plug of tobacco." He left the shop and started down Holly street toward C. Just as he reached the intersection of C and Holly street, bystanders saw him reel and fall heavily to the sidewalk. Three or four of the men ran to him. He did not utter a word or sound when he fell. Mr. KASPER was notified and he ran to the side of the man at once. He was picked up and carried into the shop and Dr. MARKLEY was summoned. He examined him and pronounced him dead, attributing his death the heart failure.
Mr. MOONEY was enlisted on the U. S. battleship Wisconsin and it appears that he did not like the navy so he took French leave and came to Whatcom and engaged in his chosen vocation as a barber. It was learned that his folks reside at Elsmore, Kansas. He wore a lodge pin of the A. O. U. W. He was a sober and industrious young man and made a large number of friends during his brief residence in this city.
The body of the unfortunate young man was taken to NOICE's funeral parlors. A telegram was immediately dispatched to the boy's father in Elsmere, Kan. A reply was received at 3:30 this afternoon in which the father instructed Mr. NOICE to embalm the body and ship it to Elsmere, Kansas. The body will be shipped at once.
C. A. HORST, a member of the A. O. U. W. of this city received a telegram from the A. O. U. W., in Elsmere, Kansas, stating that Robert MOONEY was a member in good standing.

DROWNED IN LAKE WASHINGTON
Edward C. H. WARDNER, the young civil engineer who was drowned while bathing in Lake Washington last Sunday was a son of James F. WARDNER formerly a prominent residence of Fairhaven. He is well remembered as "Teddie," the only boy of the household during the residence of the family in this city from 1890 to 1893. The Seattle Times gives the following account of the accident:
Edward C. H. WARDNER, a civil engineer, 26 years old, was drowned, yesterday afternoon while bathing in the treacherous waters of Lake Washington. The accident happened about 3:30 in the afternoon, at the time WARDNER was swimming about fifty yards north of Madrona Park hotel, and not more than fifty feet from shore. He was surrounded by a number of friends, but so quietly did he disappear beneath the waters of the lake that no one felt any alarm until it was too late.
Where WARDNER went down, the bottom of the lake takes a sudden sharp incline, and it was necessary to use grappling hooks before the body could be recovered. As far as known, WARDNER did not make the slightest outcry. Coroner HOYE investigated the case and came to the conclusion that he had been seized with sudden cramps. The coroner decided an inquest was unnecessary.
WARDNER was unmarried. His father, James WARDNER, formerly a wealthy operator at Wardner, Idaho, lives somewhere in Alaska, and he has two sisters living in Chicago, from which place he recently came to Seattle. Since his arrival here he has been living at the Dempsey House, kept by Mrs. WALDRON, on the shores of the lake, a little way from the scene of his death. At the time he was engaged to be married to a young lady living in Chicago.
BUTTERWORTH & Sons took charge of the remains and telegraphed to his relatives in Chicago regarding the disposition of them. Deceased was a member of the Masonic fraternity and was well and favorably known by that order. WARDNER had lived in this city a little more than a year.

BELLINGHAM BAY BULBS.
George GIBBS will Furnish Bulbs to Commercial Club for Exposition
Elmer E. JOHNSTON, executive commissioner of the state St. Louis exposition commission, will leave tomorrow for Whatcom to investigate the proposition of an exhibit of flowering bulbs referred to him by the Whatcom Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. JOHNSTON says: "George GIBBS of Whatcom, has conducted experiments with flowering bulbs such as crocus, hyacinth, narcissus, tulips, iris, jonquils and the like for several years and claims that the climate of Western Washington is peculiarly adapted to the growth and culture of such plants.
"For over 100 years our florists have imported their bulbs from Holland. Millions of dollars annually leave the country for this purpose. It is the boast of Holland that such bulbs can be grown in no other climate in the world.
"Mr. GIBBS claims that the climate of the United States outside of Western Washington, is unsuited to their growth, but that he has fully demonstrated that the product of the Puget sound region fully equals that of Holland. He asks financial assistance toward getting together an exhibit and I am favorably inclined toward the proposition."

DANIEL BARNARD JOHNSON
Daniel Barnard JOHNSON, who was laid away on Monday last in the funeral director's parlors, among the loads of flowers contributed by loving friends, was born in Wadsworth, Nevada, August 31, 1888. When he was less than two years old his father died and left Barnard and his mother to mourn his demise. Several years later his mother married Mr. Wm. B. TIFFANY, who had some years before been bereft of his wife and all his children. In 1895, Mr. and Mrs. TIFFANY, with Barnard moved to Whatcom to their present pleasant home on Victor street.
Barnard enter the Public School of this city where he rapidly progressed in his studies. He was fond of reading good books and delighted to read aloud to his mother. There is no doubt, had he lived, he would have been an important factor in his adopted avocation in life. From early childhood he was fond of going to church, and when but a mere child upon returning home after listening to a sermon, his retentive memory would frequently surprise the member of the family by delivering a sermon of his own construction, in which the sentiment of the sermon he had heard was rehearsed.
He was a dutiful, considerate and affectionate son. He was popular among his playmates, always generous, courteous, affable and kind. His early taking off is sincerely felt by all who knew him in the neighborhood where he lived, and among his associates must long remain vacant.
Joseph TREMBLAY died at 1;30 today at Terrace Flats, Tenth and Larabee, of cancer of the stomach. The funeral will be held at the Church of the Assumption tomorrow.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles I. ROTH's son, Victor, met with a distressing accident yesterday afternoon while hunting on Mt. Chuckanut. He was climbing over some brush and logs with hi shotgun when the hammer caught in something and it was discharged, the shot taking effect in the boy's right thigh, inflicting a serious and painful wound, besides tearing off the second and third fingers of the right hand.
Mr. ROTH was absent in Everett yesterday but Mrs. ROTH and her brother, Victor A. ROEDER, were notified of the accident and they left for Chuckanut immediately. Doctors BRIER, COMPTON and GRAY were summoned and attended to the unfortunate boy's wounds. The two fingers were amputated and large number of shot extracted from the thigh.

Almost a Tragedy in the Early Morning
This morning shortly after midnight a shooting affray occurred in Fairhaven in which Jerome PECK, a former bartender at the Trocadero theater came near losing his life from a pistol shot fired by a man by the name of Alfred HUNT. The man was arrested by Officer HEMPSTED after a short race and placed in jail until 2 o'clock this afternoon when a preliminary examination was held before Judge HURLBUT.
There was but one witness examined, Jerome PECK, the wounded man, who stated that he had been a resident of Fairhaven since sometime in May until a short time ago, but that his home was in San Francisco. He said that he and a companion were walking down McKenzie street shortly after midnight and after turning the corner at Sixth street met the defendant who was very drunk, and was talking about shooting. Only a couple of words were spoken when HUNT drew his revolver and fired, evidently with the intention of killing him. The bullet passed through his left arm, glancing his side and coming out near his back. After firing HUNT started and ran when he and his friend followed until he met Officer HEMPSTED and pointed out the defendant as the man who did the shooting. PECK said that he was unacquainted with the defendant only knowing him by sight.
Officer HEMPSTED was called and described the arrest but knew nothing of the circumstances of the shooting. The defendant entered a plea of self defense, claiming that PECK had first struck him and he thought he was being held up. This closed the testimony, when Judge HURLBUT held the prisoner to the Superior court in $1000 bond upon the charge of assault with intent to commit murder.

DR. J. C. KELLOGG DEAD.
Well Known Puget Sound Pioneer Passes Away.
Dr. J. C. KELLOGG died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. R. H. DENNY in Seattle early Sunday morning. Dr. KELLOGG is well known on Bellingham Bay and was a brother of Judge George A. KELLOGG of Fairhaven. His death resulted from heart disease from which he has been a sufferer for the past year or more. The Post-Intelligencer contains the following biographical sketch of the dead pioneer:
Dr. KELLOGG was a native of Starkey, N. Y., and was born October 11, 1820. While a child he moved with his parents in 1835 to Humboldt county, Ohio. In 1845 he took up the study of medicine, graduating from college as an eclectic physician four years later. He began practice in Concord, Mich., in April, 1850, but two years later determined to emigrate to Puget sound. He started with his family across the plains, arriving at The Dalles in November, 1853. Here he was snow bound for three weeks, being compelled to spend the time in tents. Later he made his way down the river as far as Vancouver. Thence he came to Puget Sound, settling at Oyster Bay, near Olympia.
In the fall of 1854 Dr. KELLOGG settled on Whidby island, taking up a donation claim near Admiralty Head. Here he lived until 1873, practicing his profession in all the lower Sound district[s]. He moved to this city in the fall of 1873, but returned to the island after three years, where he remained until 1890. Since this time he has been a resident of Seattle. His wife died in 1891.
Dr. KELLOGG was a member of the constitutional convention, and for many years was one of the leading citizens of the North Sound district. He is survived by two children, Mrs. R. H. DENNY, of this city, and Albert H. KELLOGG, of Sumner. The funeral will take place from the residence of his daughter at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon, after which the remains will be conveyed to Whidby island for interment in the family burying ground.

Relatives of Judge KELLOGG Here to Attend the Funeral.
Mr. and Mrs. R. H. DENNY of Seattle and Albert H. KELLOGG of Auburn arrived this morning to attend the funeral of their uncle, the late Judge George A. KELLOGG. They came direct from Whidby island leaving the grave of their father, the late Dr. J. C. KELLOGG to be present at the funeral of his brother, who survived him but two days. The steamer State of Washington called at Coupeville last night to take them aboard. R. H. DENNY is a son of the late A. A. DENNY, and the executor of the DENNY estate. He is vice president of the bank of Dexter Horton & Co. and was for many years actively employed in its management, but since the death of his father the business of the estate has required all of his time.

KILLED BY THE TRAIN
Peter YERSDALE, a Norwegian, aged about 45 years, was struck and instantly killed by a north bound Great Northern passenger train at 7 o'clock this morning, at a point on the curve about 200 feet south of the B. B. I. mill. Mr. YESDALE (sic) was employed as longshoreman and was on his way from his boarding house near the Red mill to begin his day's work in loading the Schooner Albert Meyer, which is receiving a cargo of lumber at the B. B. I. mill wharf. The 7 o'clock Great Northern train was backing in from Fairhaven to the depot in Whatcom and was running at an estimated rate of about 6 or 7 miles an hour. Two brakemen, who were keeping a lookout at the end of the coach, saw the man walking ahead on the track and yelled at the top of their voices for him to get out of the way. He gave no heed to their warning cries until the train was almost upon him, when he suddenly turned part way around in a bewildered manner. At this instant the coach struck him and he was thrown headlong to the side of the track. His head struck the sharp edge of the tie outside the rail with terrific force, cutting a gash about five inches long across his forehead and crushed his skull. After striking the tie the body bounded forward to a distance of about ten feet. The injury of the head was sufficient to cause instant death and the unfortunate man passed away without pain and probably did not know what killed him. The body was taken by the force of the train to the side of the track and aside from the gash on the forehead was not bruised or mangled.
Persons who knew the dead man state that he was somewhat deaf, which no doubt is the reason he did not hear the approaching train in time to jump off the track. Acting Coroner ELLIS was notified and he immediately left for the scene of the accident. After viewing the remains it was decided to hold an inquest at GIFFORD's Undertaking Parlors at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning and witnesses were subpoenaed to appear at that time. The body was removed to GIFFORD's Undertaking Parlors.
The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. FREDLEY died at 7 o'clock last night at the family residence at 1407 Iron street. Funeral services were conducted at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon by Rev. W. A. MACKEY.
