! SUDDEN DEArH-Dr. Brown, coroner
furnished US with the annexed account of
the sudden death Of miner named Joseph
Dockerell, alias Armstrong. at Dry Creek
on Tuesday night. December 10th. The fol-
lowing facts were elected at the coroner's
inquest held yesterday forenoon:
Albert Schuyler, sworn, says he knew de-
ceased, had been working with him for some
time past lived in the same cabin with him.
Deceased was known here by the name Of
Joseph Dockerell but his real name is Joseph
Armstrong he came from Montreal, Cana
da, to this country in 1916 or Al and estab-
lished a newspaper, and worked as COM
positor until 1852, when he became dissipa-
ted, and reverses in fortune following, he
came to the mines and has followed mining
in different localities up to the time of his
death. Last night he complained of pain
in his breast and difficulty in breathing.
About o'clock in the morning he called to
Schuyler and told him he felt very i'll, and
wished him to raise him up, which he did,
and then went to a neighboring cabin to get
a candle and when he returned he found
Armstrong dead.
Other witnesses were examined whose tes-
timony was in accordance with the above.
A post mortem examination was made By
Drs Smedes and Brown. The stomach and
bowels presented healthy appearance, the
heart and left lung were very much en-
larged.
After hearing the testimony and witness
ing the post morfem examination, the jury
returned the following verdict:
We. the undersigned, find that the de-
ceased. Joseph Dockerell, alias Armstrong,
died from hypertrophy of the heart The
deceased was aged about 35 years, of irreg-
ular and dissipated habits, native of Mont
real, Canada, printer by trade, and has
been mining since 1852

We learn from our pressman, that Dock
erell was one of the original proprietors of
the .4lta California, he, together with an
other printer named Hoppy, having estab-
lished that pioneer journal early in ls4S--
He is said to bs a man of more than ordina-
ry intelligence, and a very excellent compos
itor. We believe that Hoppy is also dead
Thus have both of the pioneers of the press
