MOUNT -BARKER, October 31.

Councillor David Yates died at Wistow on Tuesday evening. The deceased, who was only 25 years old, was very highly respected, and the news of his death, after only a short illness, was received with much regret. He was elected at the dread of the poll at the recent election in connection with the Mount Barker District Council, and he gave promise of becoming a wise councillor. He was possessed of keen business capacity, and, as a cabbie dealer, was well-known through-out the south. He was a son of the late Mr. Edward Yates, and a brother of Mr. F. Yates, of Mount Gambier. The interment took place at the Zion Hill Cemetery this afternoon, and included in the procession were a number of Oddfellows, to the Mount Barker branch of which the deceased belonged. Sincere sympathy is expressed for the sorrowing relatives.
