BY-GoNE DAYs.-One year ago yesterday
was a memorable day in the history OF
this section of country. On the 18th Of
September 1871, % prisoners escaped from
the Nevada State Prison. At that time
Matt Pixley, one we'll known in this com
munity, met his death, while trying 70
prevent the escape of the prisoners. OF
the number escaping at that time some
have not yet been recaptured. Two were
hanged at Bishop Creek, by the citizens of
that place, and those who were caught are
now serving out their time in the State
Prison. 1t seems but yesterday since
that scene Of excitement and ~bloodshed
was enacted, and yet it was a year since.
thine works wonders and as the years
roll by, We think not of the close of life
that is fast approaching. A few years
may be all some Of us are to enjoy on
this earth, but after We are gone the earth
will still move, men will still engage in
the pursuits of life, bartering for this
worlds goods, and when Gabriel shall
sound the last trump many will be
weighed in the balance and found want
