James Dunn Proposed in Barial '.."- -..Sermon.. :. In his funeral eulogy over the re mains of the late James Dunn: at Sheriff Burnett's house Wednesday, Rev.; Carrick declared that the mu nicipality;; of .. Corvallis ought to place a monument at the grave of the deceased. : Many persons view the suggestion with favor, and say that under the circumstances : the proposed action would be fully war ranted. In part, the sermon is as follows: ' ? ' ': "It was while filling the instruct ions placed upon the , trestle board of duty that his useful life came . to an end. ; At the call of our country we send our sons to the frontier or the foreign land to defend our bor ders, or uphold our , demands. When they fall in battle, -their names are placed upon our country's honor roll of fame, and loved ones yearly garland their graves. Eulogies are uttered in their praise, and songs are sung in gratitude, and this is well. -Such- disputes are national rather than local, and the danger to our homes and persons are far dis tant. It is otherwise here. It was to maintain peace in our city, to pro tect our own society and to defend innocent men, that Mr. Dunn sac rificed his life, and that the , other officers ancl their deputies placed their lives upon the altar of their city. " These they would command and I am sure the officers would thank them for their unselfishness and devotion. But words are in adequate to " express our . gratitude to this man who gave his life for us. Our tongues are voice less, but our hearts are enlarged with un uttered appreciation. As 'we lay away our friend we feel that he does not belong to one family, but to our city. If the fallen soldier is our country's dead, so our fallen soldier is our city's dead. On Me morial day, when we meet to re member the fallen, let this city never forget to honbr this, her hero- nr- t ... ... ic omcer. juer, tne citizens place a monument at his grave. Tis the least they can do, and yearly gar land it with the fairest of roses and sweetest of forget-me-nots. : .as we tmnK ot tne man we are not unmindful of the cause" of his death.
