fever. John Harte McGraw was

building was destroyed by fire.
In quick succession he secured a position on the Seattle police
force, and was elected town marshal and was made chief of police, and in

In this premature death, the cause of virtue have to lament the loss
of a champion; and society one, whose purity of life and dignity of
character, furnish examples worth to be imitated.
