In the appropriate column OF our
issue of September 18th appeared this
notice:
DrFp.-Iu thi. city, September 16, 1875,
Hiram Bacon, native OF Maine, aged %
yesrs.
Mr.. Bacon died in the county hos
pitaI, whittier he had been brought in
dying condition from Logtown,
where he had for several years lived g,
confirmed and hopeless invalid and
an almoner of an old friend of former
and more prosperous years. To his
name a romance attaches, which re-
cent events have recalled. In " the
early days of Washoe" " Hiram Bacon
was one of the Kings Of the Com
stock" He it was who gave Its name
TO the Bacon mine, he owned half OF
the Belcher and a large amount Of
other valuable mining property. In
the zenith of his prosperity he met,
became fascinated with and married
brilliant aud ambitious chit OF a girl,
of whom he became excessively fond
and dotingly iudulgent. On one occa.
sion he bought and presented tc her
set of diamonds which cost $50, 900.
I These and other evidences Of his uXo-
rious fondness she greediIy graSped
aud boarded. ! fter awhile came

Then the petted Young wife turned
the bewitched old husband out upon
the cold charity of the world. Sub
seduently male friend abStracted and
pawned her fine diamonds, and she
was forced to summon her old huS-
band from his humble retreat in this
county to identify her Jewels and
effect their restitution. Alter this the
Old mans affairs went on from bad 10
worse, until at last, as above recorded,
he died a pauper in the county hoSpi-
;al. But 1t seems that through all
these years she, or some one for her,
has been keeping up two policies OF
insurance, OF SIO,0OO each, on the Old
mans life. Last week she came up
to the vicinity Of the old pauper's
grave, to prove up the facts which
will enable her TO collect the $4,000
of insurance on his life. Her first ap.
plicatiOn was to DR.. Cooke, county
physician, but Bacon had died without
his administering TO him, and he de
clined to make any affidavit in the
premises. She then fell back on DR.
Loham. who had attended on iBacon
while at Logtown, and Dr.. Loham
made the coveted atfi lavit, which
was supplemented by one from the
hospital seward in the role OF sexton,
and the hereaved (9 widow, with
