Description	:	In the sudden and untimely death of David W. Little, Chelan Falls and Lake Chelan have sustained an irreparable loss. He was one of nature's noblemen, unostentatious yet energetic and always to be found in the front rank of the march of progress.

He was one of nature's noblemen, unostentatious yet energetic and always to be found in the front rank of the march of progress. Of large means, he used his money where it could not but benefit his fellow men and become a blessing. Coming to this section from Illinois last fall, after an extended trip over the states and territories of the West, he found here all that he sought as a home and an unlimited business opening. All his plans were for the comfort and well being of his loved ones and the nearly completed mansion on the beautiful lake shore, which, alast he was never to enjoy, stands as a mournful monument to his suddenly blasted hopes. Only a week ago he was in the city, strong in his robust manhood, rejoicing at the signs of industry and progress manifested and of which he was one of the moving spirits. Almost in the twinkling of an eye he was called from our midst, leaving a pail gloom and sorrow over the entire community. The question rises unbidden, "Why does it happen that so often death passes by many worthless, good-for-nothing specimens of humanity who are of no use to themselves or to society, and chooses the tender, lovable, energetic, manly and least to be spared models of the noblest work of God?" Perforce we must bow to the irrevocable and inscrutable decree of the Almighty, who "seeth not as man seeth, " hope brightening the future with the gleam of promise that when life's fitful fever is o'er we shall meet the affectionate husband, father, brother and truest of friends in an eternal reunion. The Leader tenders its heartfelt sympathy to the widowed and fatherless in the dark hour of bereavement. The deceased was born at Preemption, Ills., 41 years ago growing up to a sturdy and industrious manhood as the architect of his own fortunes. He was peculiarly a self-made man, and having accumulated a snug fortune he was just getting ready for its enjoyment when so suddenly stricken down. As evidencing his love the wonderfully beautifully spot he fondly expected to call home, on Sunday evening last, realizing that the end was drawing near, he requested that he might be buried on a sightly mound back of his new residence at Granite Falls, overlooking the lake for miles, and his wishes will be carried out. He leaved to mourn his loss a wife and seven children, also a sister, Mrs. Ed. Hammond, of Lake Park, all of whom have the entire sympathy of the sorrowing public. Funeral services to be conducted by Rev. Samuel Green, at 12 o'clock Wednesday, at the residence of Ed Hammond. After the services, the Lake Chelan R. R. & Nav. Co. having kindly placed their steamers at the service of the bereaved family, the body will be placed on the steamer Omaha which will also carry the members of the family and the pall bearers, while the Belle and Mr. Little's steam yacht will carry all who ???.
