   _____________________________________________
THE FATHER AND HIRED MAN SINKING FAST
          __________________
  Dr. Dill of Shoshone, who has been in attendance upon the Richards family 
since Monday, said this afternoon that there is no hope for either Mr. 
Richards, the father of the ill-fated family, or for Mr. Presnell, the hired 
man, Both are sinking and are liable to die at any time.
A QUADRUPLE FUNERAL TODAY
  There was a quadruple funeral today at Carey. The four caskets contained the 
mortal remains of Mrs. Richards, the mother, of her son Claude, and of her 
daughters, Blanche and Hazel.
  The obsequies took place in the beautiful new edifice of the Church of Jesus 
Christ of Latter Day Saints that was finished only about a year and half ago, 
and were conducted by the Hon. W. L. Adamson, Bishop of the Carey Ward.
  Despite the increment weather and the snow-blocked roads so numerous were 
the mourners that the sacred edifice could not contain one-half of them.
  The services were so impressive that there was not a dry eye in the crowd.
