A Montana Judge and the Stormy Funeral
In early Montana days a justice of the peace known as a judge faced a death in a mining camp. A funeral was held amid pines and storms as the crowd sought forgiveness for a young woman who died mysteriously, with the crowd believing she was sinned against and seeking mercy. The narrator recalls the solemn service and the belief that eternity opened its gates.
