Jack Eustace's Funeral - The funeral of Jack Eustace, who has been for a long time bartender at the Merchant's saloon took place yesterday afternoon. Jack died Saturday of heart failure. A great effort was made to find his people but nothing could be heard from them. Joe Barer proprietor of the Merchants sent out 35 or 40 telegrams making enquiries about Eustace's people but no trace of them could be found. Eustace came here from Kansas City, where he was well known. His friends there through the mayor and chief of police sent to Joe Barber and Ralph Cochran here $60 to be used in defraying his funeral expenses. A fund was also raised here and Mr. Barber made all arrangements necessary to give the remains a genteel burial. Eustace was 35 years old and single.
