Dr,TH OF JOHN hANE.-ls 10 WIN GA
eeeding regret that we announce the
,ao,b Of John Kane, formerly Sheriff of
this county, who died on Friday last.
pow men are better known in this coun-
~ than Mr.. Kane was. and but few had
.,ors and truer friends. Although in his
lac, roce for the sheriffalty he was not
successful, it cannot be regarded as re-
asetipp upon him personally, fo- he had
nsn;rifed and active opponent. Those
~ba opposed his political aspirations
I'LL mite with us in saying that John
Kane was an active and efticient officer,
never auailing before any danger when
dnty called him. John Kane was ma
tive of County Tipperary. Ireland, and
was abont SO years old. He went to Ga
lena. Ills, when child. Imbued with
a spirit OF adventure. he started
cross the plains in 1852 in company
With his uncle, John Coony, now a citi-
1an of San Jose, Cal. He came across
tbe mountains to Virginia City in 1859.
Subsequently he went to Montana, and
was Deputy Sheriff of Deer Lodge coun-
~ He came to Lincoln county, New,
in 1869 in company with John G. Lynch.
He was made Sheriff of this county by
commitment, and was afterwards elected
far a full term. He received the unani-
nous Endorsement of his party for re-
election, but was not successful at the
nolls. A man of adventurous spirit, he
..nrospected" the whole Pacific coast.
His mother resides at st. Paul, Mimi,
in whose sorrow this whole community
sympathises. He leaves wife and child
at Panaca.
THE PREVAILING FEELING Yesterday
morning there came near being serious
affair, and all growing out of the patri-
otto spirit which has been envoked by
the recent Spanish atrocities in Cuba.
A gentleman entered restaurant and
called for beefsteak. The waiter in
quired, Spanish style?" Our patriotic
friend became exceedingly hostile, and
exclaimed, Horror of horrors! What
10 you take me for? Do you suppose l
would partake of beefsteak Spanish
style in The face of the atrocities which
have so lately been perpetrated in the
naile VI tuC DBhhlSu ouE
dgnant friend made q rush at the unfor-
tunate waiter with bowie knife eighteen
inches long, and but for the timely in
reference OF the police there would
doubtless have been bloodshed. Our
people are united on the question of
Spanish atrocities, and if man wants
to get fight on his hands, he need only
call for beefsteak Spanish style or any
thing else Spanish.
FROM CHERRY CREEK.-Ws have been
permitted to make few extracts from
private letter to gentleman in this
place, written by VIM. Killingly, now at
Cherry Creek. He says: As for this

and it may be fraud. would advise
you to come and see for yourself before
you do anything. If this promises to be
a good camp, will let you know. 1t all
