full citizen of Gold Hill, Mr.. L. 8. Bow
ers, (kuown by nearly aliour people as
Sandy Bowers,) who departed this life
at about the hoar Of n o'clock, this
morning, at his residence in Grown
Point ravine. Mr.. Bowers has been IN
rather poor health for several months
past, being afflicted with d lung COM
plant, and which last week assumed II
fatal tyne, said to have been infiamma-
ton of the lungs. Deceased was one Of
the oldest permanent residents OF what
now constitutes the State OF Nevada
having arrived over the Plains from the
State Of Missouri in the year 1856, and
we believe, settled in Carson or Washoe
valleys about that time. When the
Comstock mines were discovered, Mr..
Bowers became quite extensively in
tercsted in several of the best claims,
and realized q handsome fortune in
a few years, most of which he ex.
pended in different enterprises, such
as mines, mills, aud Ia improving n
very valuable farm in Washoe county,
and upon which he erected the most
beautiful aud costly country mansion in
the State Of Nevada. We have heard
that the mansion and its furniture,
which was bought in Europe, cost up
wards of two hundred thousand dollars.
Mr. Bowers, however, has not resided
all the time In his beautiful homc-be-
ing Of an active, restless, business DIS
position, he has lived over here. in Gold

three years, attending to his mill aud II
valuable mine in Gold Hill proper. But
alas for earthly hopes and expectations
Death, the conqueror Of all mankind,
has como and cut him down in the
midst Of his usefulness, his hopes, and
his ambition-and our friend and neigh
Dor is no more. A few short hours,
and all that is mortal Of him will be
covered with the rlods of the valley,
aud to sleep that long sleep which knows
no waking. Deceased was u member oil

Others, has figured largely in the police
court, about 5 o'clock, P. ", yesterday,
90, ON one Of her periodical ~.rampages,
and as usual got after Charley Ockel,
against whom ste has q chronic spite
She found the unfortunate man standing
in the door of his saloon, and immedi'
stely commenced bombarding him with
big quartz boulders, which she picked
out Of the paving OF the street, hurting
them with desperate but ~anavailing en-
ergy and poor aim. She would have
\ hit the glass door, once, with a boulder
but Charley sprang dexterously forward
and stopped it iugeuiously with HI:
head, splitting the rock into a dozen
pieces. Singular to relate, after the
battle was over, one Of these pieces OF ore
was found to have u piece Of wire silvel
two and q half inches long, sticking ou'
of it. Charley has placed itin his cab
met in his saloon, where II can be sser
by the curious 10 such matters. No AT
rest was made, US the woman LEFT.
