From the White Pine News Aug. 16.l
On Tuesday last sad accident, fatal
to one man and possibly so to another,
occurred at the mill being erected by J.
B. Osborne at Shermantown. Itappears
that seven or eight men were engaged,
with block and tackle, moving heavy
rock breaker, which, when some three or
four feet in the air, suddenly turned over
and went crashing to the floor below,
carrying with it Leonard G. Ferguson
and T. F. Patrick. When rescued from
their perilous position, Ferguson was
thought not to be injured seriously, but,
in about twenty-five minutes after the ac-
cident he breathed his last. Patrick is
said to be injured severely, but, it is
hoped, not seriously. Dr. j. r. N.
Owen was informed of the circumstance
late in the evening, and, notwithstanding
the pouring rain and accompanying dark
ness of the night, went to the scene and
dressed the wounds of the injured.
SAD AccrDENr.-We regret to learn,
from Jerry Coughlan, of the death by
drowning of the Young child of Post
master Caldwell, at Duck Creek. The
child, aged about one year, was playing
near the stream, which runs very rapidly,
when it fell in, and before assistance
reached the spot death had ensued.
GONE EAsr.-Hon. c. W. Kendall has
accompanied his wife East, her health
having failed materially since visiting
this coast. Mr.. Kendall intends return
ing after the next session of Congress.
From the Eureka Sentinel, Aug. 49,
COUNSEL FOR DEFENSE. Thornton
and Thos. Wren have been retained as
additional counsel for the boy Cockburn,
whose trial will soon come on. 1t is said
that movement is on foot to collect a
sum sufficient to defray the cost of his
defense from the miners on Ruby Hill
where the shooting for which he was
indicted took place. The feeling there is
very much in sympathy with the boy.
CONDITION OF MuRPHY.-John Murphy,
who was injured day before yesterday by
some rock falling upon him in the Rich.

GLEANINGS FROM EXCHANGES.

FRANK G. CROUCH, of Douglas county,
Oregon, lad of eighteen years, has filed
in the Patent Office at Washington ca
veat for new motive power for new
engine, which converts steam, super
heated in combination with air, into a
remarkably expansive gas, thus giving to
comparatively small engine great power.
By this arrangement tits claimed that the
main obstacle which has prevented the
application of machinery to many pur-
poses will be overcome, and the steam
carriage for common roads made practi-
cal. Great saving in fuel as we'll as
weights is also secured by this invention.

HENRY P. BARBER, a lawyer well

HENRY p. BARBER, a lawyer well known
throughout the State, has been stricken
with paralysis, from which it is deemed
impossible for him to recover. He is a
single man, about fifty years of age, and
has used room attached to his Office as
sleeping apartment. Here he was
found on Saturday in his bed, insensible,
and has continued in that state ever
since. Letters that were put through the
door indicate that he had not been in the
front office since Thursday, so that it is
uncertain at what hour he was attacked.
The seat of the disease appears to be in
the brain. His physicians and friends,
who are unremitting in their attentions,
have no hope whatever of his recovery.
He has been in California since 1919,
having reached this coast by way of Mex
leo. He was native of England, and in
early life prepared himself by a course of
study for the practice of medicine. He
arrived in New York city in 1888, and at
tended clinical lectures at Bellevue Hos
ptal. He afterwards took up law as
more likely to prove remunerative, and
practiced at the bar in New York until
his departure for California in 1S49. On
the route to California and for a short
period after his arrival here, circum-
stances led him to make use Of his medi-
cal knowledge, in consequence of which
he is still known by the old residence of
Tuolumne county as Doctor Barber"
He, however, soon resumed the practice
law, in which he was successful. During
his residence in Tuolumne he served as
County Judge. He resided in that conn.,
ty nineteen years, when in 1868. he
moved to San Francisco, where he has
since practiced. He was a man OF much
mental power and fine culture, and had
secured the respect and esteem of large
circle of friends. F. Bulletin.
