It is with sincere regret we learn of the death of Mr. John PLACE, a pioneer resident of Acme, who died Saturday, June 23, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Addie BOVARD, in Bellingham. Mr. PLACE will always be remembered as a good neighbor, a generous friend, worthy indeed of the honor and respect accorded him by all his acquaintances and especially will he be lovingly remembered by the children who knew him as a dear friend and companion. The funeral, held in Bellingham June 25, was attended by many of his old friends from Acme, all of whom extended with us sincere sympathy to the bereaved members of his family.

A sad accident occurred at the Galbraith logging camp last Thursday when the breaking of a cable caused Charles HECK of Wickersham to fall directly beneath the moving car upon which he was riding, being crushed to death instantly. Mr. HECK was a man well known and well liked among the people of this valley, who sincerely regret his sudden death. The burial service conducted in Sedro-Woolley, was attended by a number of people from Acme and by members of the I.O.O.F., of which order he was a member.
