the sha1t OF the 1olo mine when by
some accident he lost his footing and
was precipitated to the bottom, dis
lance of ITO feet. One of the men that
was working in drift that was 10 feet
from the surface, heard some heavy
body falling past the mouth Of the level.
The man came to the top of the shaft
and made some enquiry of those near
by. At this moment it was noticed that
Mr.. Hutt's dog was shutting and whin-
ing at the head of the shaft. This incl
dent caused the fear to arise that it was
Mr.. HUT that was heard falling. These
fears were speedily realized for on des-
cending to the bottom Of the shaft the
body of the unfortunate man was found
almost entirely stripped of clothing and
the head fearful sight, the upper por-
ton was entirely stricken off, and the
brains were found scattered in every di-
rection. The body was brought to the
surface and properly cared for by his
brother firemen. Mr.. HUT was aged
about 30 years and was native of Cana
da. He was pioneer of the camp as he
came here in 1869. He formerly lived
in California. For two years after he
came here he filed the responsible posi-
ton of agent to the Meadow
Valley company. After he left
that employment he engaged in the
draying business, and at the time of his
untimely death was working in the
mines. Mr.. HUT was not only one of
the oldest citizens of Phoebe, but was
much liked and esteemed by all who
knew him here and they comprised all
the early settlers and most of those who
have since made this locality their
abiding place. His sudden and terrible
death will be mourned by all our citizens.
The funeral will take place to-day at 4
o'clock, and will be conducted by the
Hook & Ladder Company of which USE
full organization MIR. HUT was men,

MISUNDERSTANDING to expecta-
| ton and the Registrars notices, no
names were yesterday received for regis
tration in this precinct. 1t appears that
there has been some misapprehension of
the law on this matter. 1t was construed
to include the Dist inst as the last day Of
registration. Attention, however, being
called to the matter, it was found that
while voters could be registered prior to
the 2lst inst, none could be on that day.
This misinterpretation is much to be re-
GREETED, as there are doubtless many citi,
zens who had unwisely put off registering
until the last day, which was supposed tc
be yesterday, but as it now turns out
Saturday the 10Th was the last day or
which registration could legally take
place. This will leave great many
voters unregistered, and consequently
unable to cast their ballots in November
By the notices published in papers a
other points in the State, we find tina
this error was very general, for instance
at White Pine, Eureka and Virginia
though in Humboldt county they did no
fall into this error. By our exchange
which reached us on Saturday night, W,
see that the mistake had been discovered
in Eureka on the 18th, and in Virgins
on the 18th. Unfortunately for tn
Phoebe folks, the misapprehension wa
not known until too late, when all tn
mischief was done. However, rs the Ma
hoAetan says, what is writ is writ,
and as there is no use crying over spill
milk, our citizens will have to make tn
best of il, and those who can't vote viii
have to busy themselves in seein
those who can do so. What effect tn
contretemps may have on the approach
ing election is not known, though it i
already affording subject fora good dea
. OF conjecture.
