AT about o'clock last night, says the
Eureka Sentinel, of the Goth, man
named o. Peterson died suddenly in Pete
Esterley's dance-house on North Buel
street. He entered the house apparent
ly in good health and spirits, conversed
freely with those present, and, we be-
lieve, invited all hands up to take a
drink. Shortly after the drinks had been
served, he called to the manager to have
the musicians play a schottische, which
request was about being complied with,
when he threw up his hands as if to sig
nal the musicians to discontinue playing.
He then moved rapidly to the sidewalk,
but soon returned and asked Mr.. Ester
ley to get him some salt At this time
some of the bystanders observed blood
issuing from his mouth. Esterey has
tened to get him handful OF salt,
which the afflicted man proceeded to
swallow, in the mean time calling for
more, which was promptly furnished.
He then made another effort to gain the
sidewalk, but just as he had passed out
of doors he sank, and would have falleu
to the ground, had he not been caught
and supported back into the building.
He was placed in a sitting posture against
the wall, in which position he remained
until after the arrival of Dr.. Callahan,
who had been sent for. Deceased was a
large and apparently stout man, though
we are informed that he was greatly
troubled at times with his lungs. He
He was unmarried, and probably about
40 years of age. We did not learn his
nativity. Deceased was an Odd Fellow,
under the auspices of which organiza-
ton he is to be buried.
WILLIAM STUTRIDGE, who, it will be
remembered, accidentally shot his little
son on the Sd instant, thereby causing
his death, died himself last Saturday
evening, says the Gold Hill News OF
Monday, of broken heart. Ever since
the sad accident occurred, the father,
constantly tormented with grief and re.
morse, has been slowly pining away with
heart sickness. Typhoid fever seized
| upon his system, worn out by nervous
excitement, and completed the work OF
destruction. Let it be hoped that he has
been permitted to join his idolized child
in the spirit-land, with full assurance
from the all-wise Father, of pardon,
peace and final reconciliation. The de-
ceased was a native OF Cornwall, England
and at the time of his death was twenty.
three years of age. He leaves wife il
destitute circumstances. The family
emigrated to the United States clever
months ago. Mr.. Stutridges parents
are still living. Two sisters of the de-
ceased reside in California. The funeral
took place from his late residence this af
ternoon.
We are informed, says the Virgins
Chronicle of Monday, that the trial o
George W. Hutchinson, for rape on tn
person of Miss Ada Weaver, at Silve
City, some weeks ago, will be commence,
in the Third District Court, at Dayton
to-day. Hutchinson was conductor oil
the Central Pacific Railroad in the east
ern part Of the State, and became &C
auainted with Miss Weaver ON the road
We understand that he came to Silve
City at her written solicitation, and wa.
there two or three days before the com
plant was made. Miss Weaver, who
~ years of age, was sent out by he
father from Michigan in company with
younger brother, in the hope that in on
dry and oZoniferous atmosphere sh
would recover from q severe case of ca
tarrh in the head, with which she ha
been troubled for years. She has grow
worse, however, and it is doubtful if sh
will be able to appear in Court to-day
Hutchinson has been acquitted.
