ginIa are displayed at half-mast, in
token Of the death Of James Ellington,
= former we'll known and prominent
member Of the Department, who died
In San Francisco at 2 O'Clock p. II.
yesterday. The Enterprise says: The
news Of his death, received here last
evening, was most unexpected, as few
persons here knew Of his being Ill, and
his many friends In this city and Gold
Hill were greatly grieved and aston
ished. Jimmy Ellington, as he was
familiarity called, was we'll known to
all our citizens and to most persons
throughout the State, and leaves a host
of friends to mourn his death. He re-
sided In this city for many years, and
when last here was In such apparent
robust health that he would have been
the man to have been selected from
a o as one that would live to q ripe
old age. His good nature and the
hundreds Of Jokes he has played on In
this place In former times Will long
be remembered by all, rs will his
many good qualities as a man. His
disease was consumption, though he
never had the sllghtest appearance u
being afflicted with any lung disease
while here. He formerly belonged to
and was foreman Of Eagle Engine
Company No. 3, and has many warm
friends In that company and also as
weh as In our Fire Department. Inc
news of his death was spoken OF In
terms Of great regret In all parts OF
the city last evening, and to-day the
fiags OF all the engine companies VIII
be placed at half-mast.
